Let’s rewind to a moment in time that had everyone buzzing—Megan Markle caught in a web of choices between Prince William and Prince Harry.
In a recent discussion on Popcorn Palace, host Andy Signor and guest Tez revisited a particularly awkward interview from October 2015 that has resurfaced, now serving as a fascinating lens through which to view Markle’s past.
The duo kicked off their conversation with excitement, eager to dissect the infamous clip where Markle was asked to choose between the two princes.
Tez pointed out that while they weren’t officially together at the time, there were whispers of her interest in Harry.
A Soho House event in Istanbul seemed to be the backdrop for those early rumors, suggesting that Markle had already set her sights on the younger prince.
As they delved into the interview, Andy and Tez couldn’t help but critique Markle’s responses.
They began by evaluating how genuine her answers seemed, rating them on a cringe scale.
The first question—about her go-to pick-me-up song—had them both skeptical.
Markle claimed it was a Nina Simone track, but the hosts found her delivery overly rehearsed and contrived, raising eyebrows about her authenticity.
Next up was her “number one beauty rule,” which she casually stated was to drink plenty of water.
Tez quipped that this advice was hardly groundbreaking, while Andy humorously noted how it felt more like a cliché than a genuine beauty tip.
As the interview progressed, they continued to poke fun at Markle’s insistence on smiling, which they interpreted as an oddly cheerful directive that seemed to lack depth.
Markle’s choice of vacation destination—Turks and Caicos—also drew scrutiny.
Tez speculated whether she was just mentioning the last place she’d visited rather than a truly memorable experience.
The conversation flowed seamlessly, with the hosts sharing laughs over Markle’s attempt to name a strong female character on television, ultimately guessing her own character from Suits would be her pick.
The discussion took a more intriguing turn when they speculated on who Markle would want to work with again.
Tez was surprised when Markle mentioned Abigail Spencer, a co-star from Suits.
Their friendship seemed genuine, and it was refreshing to see a connection that hadn’t been overshadowed by her royal ambitions.
However, the tone shifted again as they approached the pivotal question: Harry or William?
Markle’s immediate response of “Harry” raised doubts for both hosts.
They theorized that she might have felt pressured to say Harry, especially considering the context of her social aspirations at that time.
This moment encapsulated the essence of their critique—was she being honest, or was this a calculated move?
The conversation then veered into a more personal territory when they discussed Markle’s pets.
Tez expressed disbelief over how she had reportedly rehomed her dogs after meeting Harry, emphasizing that he would never part with his pets for a relationship.
This led to a broader discussion about her treatment of animals, suggesting a deeper character flaw.
As they wrapped up their analysis, they touched on Markle’s claims of being a calligrapher, which sparked laughter.
The hosts felt her assertion was exaggerated, likening her cursive writing to a lesser form of the art.
They also reflected on her claim of attending an Elton John concert, finding it plausible yet still within the realm of skepticism.
The final moments of their chat revolved around Markle’s potential future endeavors, including rumored cooking shows and polo events.
Tez expressed doubt about whether these projects could garner enough interest, given Markle’s reputation.
There was a sense that while she may have been a captivating figure, her authenticity was continually questioned.
In the end, their discussion revealed much about Markle’s past and the persona she cultivated long before stepping into the royal spotlight.
It painted a picture of a woman who, despite her charm, often danced on the line between authenticity and performance.
The hosts left the audience pondering not just the cringe-worthy moments but also the implications of her choices and how they shaped her journey into the public eye.
