An A-list celebrity, who previously appeared on Meghan’s podcast, has snubbed the Duchess of Sussex in a strange interview. It comes after an awkward exchange between the pair
Meghan Markle has been snubbed by an A-list celebrity who previously appeared on the her podcast, in a bizarre interview.
Legendary singer Mariah Carey was asked about her royal connections in an interview with Hits Radio, in which she discussed her upcoming performance at King Charles’ Sandringham House.
Instead of name dropping Meghan Markle, in a brutal snub, Mariah instead cited meeting Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who she fondly described as “cool”. Mariah chose not to mention the Duchess of Sussex, who she met in 2022 when she appeared on her early Archetypes podcast. It comes after it emerged Meghan Markle’s ‘inappropriate’ living request was ‘firmly denied’ by late Queen.

Some have suggested that Mariah’s snub could be reference to an awkward moment between the two on the podcast when the songstress branded Meghan a ‘Diva’ – something she was quick to clarify wasn’t a bad thing.
The pair discussed the “complexities surrounding the word diva” and lifted the lid on the negative connotations associated with it before Carey accused the Duchess of being a “diva”, herself.
Remarking that the description was tied to Meghan’s posture, clothing and her “gorgeous ensembles”, she insisted that it wasn’t a dig at her personality, however the exchange remained awkwardly strained despite Mariah’s clarification.
Meghan said on the podcast: “I think that’s really important for people to remember that there might be this persona, and yes, the diva thing, we can play into,” before adding: “It’s not something I connect to.”
However, Mariah was quick to disagree, insisting that Meghan was on occasion, a little diva-like herself: “You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan…”
“What kind of diva moments do I give you?” a shocked Meghan replied, to which the singer said: “Don’t act like…”, before the Duchess questioned: “Can you see me right now?”
“It’s also the visual, it’s the visual,” Mariah explained. “A lot of it is the look, let’s say you, let’s pretend that you weren’t so beautiful and didn’t have the whole thing, and didn’t often have gorgeous ensembles, you wouldn’t maybe get as much diva.”
“I don’t care, I’m like when I can, I’m going to give you diva,'” she added. Clearly disagreeing on the subject, Meghan then calmly retorted: “That’s the thing, I associate it differently.”
