I think I can guess this one.
The younger son of King Charles and Princess Diana, Prince Harry made worldwide headlines back in 2020 when he stepped down as a working royal to move to United States with his wife, actress Meghan Markle, and their children Archie and Lillibet.
Harry and the Suits actress settled back in her home state of California, but quickly drew the ire of both the royal family and when they sat down for an interview with Oprah in which the couple criticized Harry’s father, then-Prince Charles, while also making allegations of racism against unnamed royals.
Meghan already seemed to have a strained relationship with the royal family, including her sister-in-law Kate Middleton. In one highly-publicized incident, it was reported that Markle had made Princess Kate cry during a disagreement about flower girl dresses at Harry and Meghan’s wedding. But during their interview with Oprah, Markle claimed that it was actually the opposite that had happened, and that it was Prince William’s wife who had made HER cry before her wedding.
Regardless, it seems that the public in general has supported William and Kate throughout Harry and Meghan’s media blitz, which also included a Netflix documentary and a biography from Harry, with people blaming Markle for alienating her husband from his family and generally considering her insufferable and self-important.
And she’s really not doing anything to help her case.
Meghan recently received criticism after her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, began selling $15 boxes of “dried flower sprinkles,” whatever the hell those are, because she said she likes to put them on her food to “create a little bit of magic.”
“Let’s talk about flower sprinkles… because I think it speaks to the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we’re all craving in our every day. They’re tiny little flower petals that are dry, I started putting them on salads. I started putting them on scrambled eggs. It didn’t actually matter… on a yogurt parfait.”
Yeah, totally relatable there M.
Wait, why did I call her “M,” you may ask? I’m kidding, of course you’re not asking that because it’s obvious. Her name is Meghan, after all. Meghan, M, see what I did there?
But in another totally relatable moment from the (former?) princess, Meghan made an appearance IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast, The Jamie Kern Lima Show recently, where she “revealed” why her and Harry call each other ‘M’ and ‘H.’
Let me guess, because your names start with M and H? Just going out on a limb here…
And spoiler alert: I’m right. I mean, she told some story about how they had to keep their relationship a secret so they had to talk in “code,” but that’s not exactly Zodiac Killer-type code here. It’s just the first letters of their names.
Several brands quickly mocked the ridiculous “revelation,” offering to spill the beans on their own nicknames for the right price:
Yeah Meghan, I think we figured it out.
