MEGHAN ON BEING CALLED A ‘DIVA’

The duchess explained that she first thought it was a “dig” but later realised it was a compliment. Meghan opened up about Mariah calling her a diva when she wrapped up the episode. 

“It was all going swimmingly, I mean really well, until that moment happened, which I don’t know about you but it stopped me in my tracks when she called me a diva,” she said.

“You couldn’t see me, obviously, but I started to sweat a little bit. I started squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt. Like wait. What? No. What? How could you? That’s not true. Why would you say that?” she continued. 

“My mind genuinely was just spinning with what nonsense she must have read or clicked on to make her say that,” she added.

However, she went on to say that  Carey “jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva, she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing.”
