On the sixth episode of Archetypes Spotify podcast, Meghan Markle discussed about many topics. The highlight of the podcast was Markle apologizing to Hilton for judging her and being envious of her. She said that when she was young her entire identity was wrapped around being the ‘smart one’. This led to her projecting her envy on Paris Hilton who was famous, rich, and pretty. After sharing that she used to judge and feel envious of Hilton, she apologized to her saying,
“I was ashamed to admit that I harbored either of those feelings.” She later told her listeners, “I’m sorry for having judged her. I didn’t know her.”
She also shared, “Envy can be a very dangerous thing, as can judgment.”
The Duchess of Sussex also recalled her experience in her acting career. She recalled while shooting in the game show Deal or no Deal, all the contestants including herself were reduced to ‘Bimbos’ which is a term referring to women who are beautiful but dumb. She said,
“There was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like. It was solely about beauty — and not necessarily about brains”
The Suits actress went on to say that although it was not much of a serious job, it helped pay her bills.
