A revealing moment from Meghan Markle’s latest interview has sparked intense online debate, after the writer included a detail many readers believe was deliberately “shady” – and even exposed what some are calling the Duchess of Sussex’s “delusions of grandeur”.
The comment came from Harper’s Bazaar writer Kaitlyn Greenidge, who met Meghan for a face-to-face interview in New York City.
Shady Detail About Meghan’s Entrance Raises Eyebrows
The writer described arriving with Meghan at a “grand brownstone” on the Upper East Side owned by one of the Duchess’s friends. What happened next immediately set off fan speculation.
“We’re in a grand brownstone on the Upper East Side that belongs to one of Meghan’s friends,” Greenidge wrote. “When I enter, the house manager announces, ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,’ even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house.”
It was this moment (a formal-style announcement despite only two people being present) that readers quickly flagged as suspicious, unnecessary, and deeply telling.

Fans Accuse the Writer of Subtle Shade
The inclusion of the detail ignited a flurry of reactions online, with many convinced the writer inserted it specifically to expose Meghan’s behavior.
One person commented: “Such a shady quote, I love it.”
Another added: “The whole article was an exercise in extreme sarcasm. They very politely ripped her a new one.”
Others suggested the description painted Meghan as someone clinging to royal formality in situations where it felt wildly out of place.
Piers Morgan Weighs In
Piers Morgan, never one to avoid a Meghan Markle controversy, quickly amplified the moment by sharing the article link to his 8.8 million followers – adding nine laughing emojis for emphasis.
His reaction opened the floodgates for yet another wave of commentary.
Some questioned whether royals are routinely “announced” even at ordinary engagements, while others accused Morgan of being “obsessed” with the Duchess.
Her Busy Public Schedule Continues Despite Criticism
While the debate surrounding the “shady” detail continues to swirl, Meghan has maintained a packed public schedule. She made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, joined Prince Harry at the World Series, and attended Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday celebration.
She also teased her holiday traditions with Harry, Archie, and Lilibet in the trailer for her upcoming Netflix special.
