On her podcast, ‘Archetypes’, Meghan Markle was in conversation with actress Jameela Jamil, who hails Markle “from across the pond”, according to New York Post.

Twitter Reacts To The Duchess Of Sussex’s Alleged British Accent
We can say that Twitter is a hatred hot hub now. Most of the trending hashtags are either denouncing a celebrity or just fun pranks (like the #RIPJimmyFallon one). Meghan Markle falls under the former. Most of the tweets and hashtags are spewing hatred against the Duchess for anything she does. Even if she calls her husband “my husband”, she is getting solid hate from everywhere.
“Is Meghan trying to do a British accent again?” a user asked. One person tweeted, “Now making fun of the British accent? Please Meghan, just shut up.” “Pathetic really,” another quipped, according to Express, while another hater declared about the podcast pair, “They are both as ‘artificial’ as they come!!!”

What Did Jameela Jamil Say About The Hatred Against Markle?
In a conversation with Meghan on the podcast, Jamil shared that it was unfair that Markle got ridiculed for everything she did. “It’s an unfathomable amount of s— that you take, Meghan. I can’t believe it,” she said. “And I fought back on your behalf for years before I’d ever met you because I was so outraged by the twisting of this very normal, very kind, very civilized woman. That demonization just shows how afraid they are of you.”
“I’m so sorry you’ve had to withstand it,” Jamil continued. “It has highlighted for us the intense unkindness and bigotry and misogyny of our media. And I think and I hope and I feel faith that the tides are changing because so many of us are fighting back.” Although many oppose Markle, a good number of people support the Duchess on her walk-out from the Royal family and her new podcast venture.
