Meghan Markle is in the news again after giving another interview in which she shat all over the Royal Family, this time while speaking to The Cut.

The whole piece actually reads like the interviewer is very subtly taking the mickey out of her throughout, but the most amazing part of the article is where Meghan recalls someone telling her that her marriage to Prince Harry was celebrated on the streets of South Africa the same way Nelson Mandela’s release from prison was in 1990:

I absolute believe someone said that to her because people are weird like that, but surely if someone said that to you you’d keep it to yourself anyway for fear of seeming like you’d made it up? Or for fear of sounding like you’re all the way up your own a*se?

Here are a few more odd excerpts from the Meghan interview:

Too funny. It’s the sort of stuff you’d dream up Harry and Meghan saying if you were trying to write a satire about them, but they’re actually this hilariously pompous in real life.

Meanwhile, Nelson Mandela’s grandson got wind of Meghan’s comments about his grandfather and wasn’t happy about it. Zwelivelile ‘Mandla’ Mandela said (via MailOnline):

‘It can never be compared to the celebration of someone’s wedding.

Madiba’s celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So It cannot be equated to as the same.

Every day there are people who want to be Nelson Mandela, either comparing themselves with him or wanting to emulate him.

But before people can regard themselves as Nelson Mandelas, they should be looking into the work that he did and be able to be champions and advocates of the work that he himself championed.’

I’m not sure if Meghan & Harry have a PR team they listen to but anyone with a brain could have told her that comparing yourself to Nelson Mandela (even via someone else’s anecdote) isn’t the kind of thing that’s gonna win people over. Hasn’t she been doing this for long enough to know that? I guess maybe she got carried away in the moment.

On the bright side, Meghan shot to the top of the Spotify charts last week with the first episode of her podcast… although that got poor reviews also.
