Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, disclosed how her life changes when she joined the firm – claiming she had “felt the negativity” of being labelled “ambitious”.
TheSun UK says:
In the almost hour-long podcast, Meghan spoke with long-term pal Serena Williams about “the double standard women face”.
Meghan says: “So, I don’t remember ever personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word ambitious until I started dating my now husband.
“And um, apparently ambition is, uh… a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman that is – according to some.
“So, since I’ve felt the negativity behind it, it’s really hard to un-feel it.
“I can’t unsee it, either, in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller – so much smaller – on a regular basis.
“When I was 11 years old, growing up in LA, I saw a commercial that would change the way I understood my place in the world.
“Let me be clear: it wasn’t because this ad was some kind of ingenious piece of marketing – actually, it was just the opposite.
“So, here’s what happened: I was in the 6th grade, I was sitting in my classroom – and we were watching TV, when a commercial came on.”
Meghan and her husband Harry split from the Royal Family and moved to America in 2020.
