“I ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,” Meghan Markle said.

“I was grateful for the job, but not about how it made me feel, which was not smart. By the way, I was surrounded by smart women … but that wasn’t the focus,” the Duchess of Sussex added.

American columnist Kat Timpf slammed Meghan Markle for her comments and told the royal to "get a grip" after "constantly complaining" about her life.

“All of her millions and millions of dollars and all the prestige that she has and yet all this person can do is constantly complain. I don't think I've ever heard her say something positive. It's always a sob story, it's very intense. She's never just a little sad,” Kat Timph said.
