Mariah Carey Clarifies Calling Meghan Markle ‘A Diva’

When Meghan Markle became the talk of the world when first being involved with Prince Harry, a lot of negative opinions about her were being formed about her personally. However, Mariah Carey had her opinions about her, and she had to set the record straight.

On the “Archetypes” podcast, the singer addressed the awkward moment of calling her a diva. Carey explained that was meant to be a positive empowerment comment. during their interview, which admittedly made Markle start “to sweat” and “squirm” in her chair.

“Yes! I called her a diva, in the most fabulous, gorgeous, and empowering meaning of the word!!!” 

Markle pointed out her “nervous laughter” when she wrapped up the episode saying Carey “jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva, she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing.”

Carey did clarify that she was describing Markle’s “visuals,” noting she did not “mean anything” by the diva comment and was just “playing” with the podcast host.
