Meghan Markle’s ‘pantyhose’ joke proves she’s still laughing at firm

Meghan Markle has now “closed the door” on reconciliation with the Royal Family, a source claims. While she has refrained from making any more damaging revelations about the Firm over the last few years, a small dig she made at royal life just months ago did reportedly not land well.

This was a comment she made about having to wear pantyhose, which she claimed did not feel authentic to her. She said this during an appearance on The Circuit with Emily Chang. Speaking in the interview, she had said: “It was different several years ago when I couldn’t be as vocal and I had to wear nude pantyhose (tights) all the time.

“Let’s be honest, that was not very myself. That felt a little bit inauthentic.”

The comment reportedly did not go down well at the Palace, with a source telling RadarOnline that it came across as “mocking” traditions and showed a lack of respect.
