Shauna x It was reported that Sophie Trudeau's marriage to Justin Trudeau has broken down. I thought it would be interesting to revisit Meghan Markle's podcast interview with Sophie as part of the Archetypes Spotify Series.

'She thought she could transform a thousand year old institution and make it more .... pepperoni pizza pool floaty?' BOOM! You have the power of spinning word salad into narrative gold. I don't recall any pictures of Meghan in an updo, but her producers were probably wearing them to cover the bald patches induced by trying to cobble together a coherent podcast from her nonsense.

[@thevintageread]

😂👏 Thanks for picking up my pepperoni pool floaty bit…quite proud of that one!

[@helenadavies5674]

It really hit home to me that m was a word salad junkie when she gave that speech in Germany at the young people world summit (or the like) and she was wearing that yellow dress. I listened to it and had to go back over it to try and make sense of it.That mish mash made NO sense.

Would _messy buns_ count as updos? 😉 She was sporting those, when the other royal ladies had their hair done up neat and tidy. 🤷

DEAD WRONG! Have you ever known a psychiatric nurse, or a school teacher of young handicapped children? THAT'S WHERE MEGHAN MARKLE FITS. Can you do that work for a lifetime? I get it, my wife is a school teacher of young handicapped children. she's joyful one day, melancholy the next. and very protective. Meghan picked the charity that helped people get clothes for job interviews, The Joy of "I GOT THE JOB". I bet she still works with them. She picked the people at Grenfell for a cookbook that still sells and is still popular. She was smart, seeing people from different cultures , a cookbook, I'm saying the Charities she selected she gave careful thought. ITS THE SAME WITH ARCHETYPES. Why did she pick who she picked? She attended AGAPE SPIRITIAL CENTER. you need to understand AGAPE TO GET MEGS.

[@Savoera]

​@@jjboyd01are you trying to convince yourself that she really is a good person? Or do you see something that most of us can't, because all we see is her evil, calculating, cunning, scheming, jealous character. I'm sure she does have some good qualities, but her bad qualities are overwhelmingly stronger. But nice that she still has some people in her corner. I don't get it, but good for you. At least you think she's good, and you're not purposefully supporting someone who you think is bad.

[@graphiquejack]

I mean, to give her the benefit of doubt (why I don’t know) it’s possible she mean that society imposes so many expectations onto women who are told a main goal should be to marry and have children, that anyone who wants to also have a career is stuck trying the near impossible act of balancing the two ‘roles’. It sounds like both women are kind of saying they regret having children (and maybe their marriages). Which is fine, but sort of sad, in particular about the kids. I get the feeling that they are saying they feel guilt for actually wishing they never got married and had kids… which is a pretty bold and honest statement. Feel sorry for everyone’s lives they are harming by coming to that realization. Sure, women should be free to be childless and focus on their career if that’s what they want, but it would be nice if you figured that out before you got married and had kids. Lol

[@barbaramelone1043]

@graphiquejack Women haven't been told their main goal should be to get married and have kids for a very long time. I shocked people in the 80s by saying that was what I wanted to do. Harry's wife married to increase her "brand," and kids in the line of succession are a bonus. It's very possible that Sophie married Trudeau because of his status too. I don't feel sorry for either of them.

I grew up in a very poor (moneywise) family. My wonderful mother always made sure I was not discriminated against. I never ever (and I’m really old now) have felt anything other than being privileged to be a woman. I had a great education, a great job, a good marriage and beautiful delightful children. Seems to me it’s Ms Markle's victim mentality making her feel guilty to be a woman.

I’m an American and in my mid 60’s and at no time in my life did I ever feel guilty about being a girl/woman. My American family was one with extremely strong women and that was the expectation for all of us. My American grandmother was active in the women’s suffrage movement and my mother ran several businesses on her own and with my father. My sister and I were raised to be proud independent women, just like all the women in our family. That’s my American experience and can’t speak about anyone else but really at no time did I feel like we were unique, we were a normal family.

[@judiththirlwell417]

Sounds like a lovely upbringing. Thankyou for sharing and painting such a vivid picture. 🌻💕

[@bevvaor2320]

M knows by her own experience that women can do anything they want to at work and home. Whatever means she used to get to what she had shown that women are free to live their lives as they choose. Ex. M didn't want to be part of the firm and she left with her husband who gave up his royal family. So tell me, who had the upper hand M or Haz? Do women need to be liberated? DON'T THINK THOUGHT.

[@tatjanakecman7236]

I think that the way how Meghan dealt with her sense of inferiority in comparison to Harry and royal family, was to try to put them down by mocking, complaining, blaming them and criticizing. It was visible at the very beginning, starting with the engagement interview.

[@bevvaor2320]

Right on point.

[@jessicaalbright7429]

Markle doesn’t do word salad… she does word water. Throws random terms together that sound like they should be philosophical.. but are completely without substance and beyond that is never anything ‘fresh’. Diana did move the institution forward, Markle just doesn’t have any depth of character to do the same.

[@thevintageread]

Really interesting comment about Diana 👏

[@ladytamaya4737]

Meghan just wants to feel important by copy pasting isolated words she googled !

[@sandraray3731]

Very interesting observation about Diana. Because of her CHARACTER and natural warmth she gradually changed the public perception of a very old institution. She hugged people, she embraced people with AIDS, she laughed naturally with them and at herself. Her down to earth style endeared her to “the common man”. She set a tone which we now see in the public interactions of both KC and Prince William. She left her mark just by being herself. I’m not British but this comment made me reflect. It wasn’t an agenda, which is the reason it worked.

Since I heard that Sophie had done this podcast with Meghan she was relegated to persona non grata in my estimation, before that I had never ever given her any thought. As a Canadian I was disgusted that she would be connected to Meghan in any shape or form after what Meghan and Harry had done to the royal family, especially our Queen.

[@knn6215]

When Sophie made a fool of herself on that podcast, we wrote to the office of the PM to ask how his wife would participate in any official royal visit to Canada? Obviously she can have her own personal friends but as the wife of the PM, she should have kept it private that she was drinking and lounging with someone that's only been made famous by insulting our own Head of State. Sophie's behaviour at the Queen's funeral was as juvenile as Markle. Sophie had her claw into Justin and was grabbing and pulling at him. It was embarrassing to watch as a Canadian because Trudeau and Chretien were the only leaders invited to both receptions and services due to the long personal connection to the Queen besides their official capacities.

I am a 57 year old American woman who spent all my upper education in the 1980's, including high school, university and 2 Master's Degrees. I never felt guilty for being a woman. I felt all doors were open to me with any career or partnering decisions. I was a pre-med major at a well known and highly respected private university. She broke no barriers going to Northwestern, my best friend went there, and has had a great career, ultimately forming her own marketing agency. MM was born in 1981. Why does she feel she has to act like she has this chip on her shoulder? She is spouting junk she heard from her questionable mother. Her mother had to tell her what it was like to be black and and a woman, but in a different era, but her mother is not even 10 years older than me. Yes, Doria's life was much different to mine, but nobody was stopping women.

[@PS_testing321...]

I was fortunate to have parents that had 3 daughters and one son, and we daughters got as much encouragement as our brother. My mother also went to college in the 50's which was not a given for women of that time. My father's parents sent all of their 7 children, including 3 daughters to college in the 50's. That grandfather couldn't afford to go to high school himself when he immigrated, he went straight to work. Education was a very important thing to my parents, as children of Irish immigrants to America. They gave us the best they could when it came to education. They understood its value and worked hard to send us to the best schools. So they accomplished it! I just want to add that I was an English Lit major ultimately after 3 years of pre-med and taught English Lit as my career, which drew me to your channel. I just loved it so much as my university had a large required liberal arts curriculum, no matter your major, and I decided to change course. I enjoy your videos so much.

Now I've watched the video it is all clear 😂. Yes, wouldn't it have been marvelous if you somehow could have listened in on that conversation. But we've got the next best thing: you!, having read all the books available about Meghan's time in the RF and going back and dive into the relevant podcast episode. Thank you so much for doing that and sharing your analytic mind with us. Chances are real that the two women discussed something of the sort.

[@thevintageread]

They certainly complained of feeling trapped!

[@jillkelly3965]

IMO Ms Markel has not said one sensible thing in her life. Very little of it makes sense I am now at the stage I can't stand to listen to her. As we Aussie say she doesn't half have tickets on herself.

Good evening from Kiama Australia

Hi 😊

[@sandrahollinshead8713]

I’ve never felt guilty for being female or being me. What a warped way to look at life.

[@thevintageread]

It is weird!

[@debbrand8106]

Melodrama over Pizza float! 😂

[@judithricca6915]

Shauna, I do enjoy your videos. This American, who is 30 years older than M, was never made guilty for being a girl. Also, M was spoiled rotten by her father, so how was she made to feel guilty for being a girl? I think she is acting out a part in a movie script. Sending greetings from NYC 🗽

[@sandraray3731]

Absolutely. I grew up in the 50s also, as one of 6 kids. Dad always encouraged us 3 girls to get some job training even if we wanted to raise kids because “you never know when it’s needed”. After 50 years of marriage I often think of that. My husband has worked for 2 companies that went bankrupt and I suddenly had to go back to work. Good marriages and good families work together to do what’s needs to be done. The only reason Meghan feels guilty is because she doesn’t want to do the work and is very happy to live off of a man’s wealth. Men can also feel “trapped” in the daily grind of a mundane job and with the tremendous responsibility they have to carry raising a family. They do it out of love. It’s all about unselfishness.

P.S. You always bring forth the.current topics that intrigue us, but you look at them from a unique angle and certainly do the footwork for us, supported by your skill as a good, close reader--you are among the best that youtube has to offer.

[@thevintageread]

Wow, thank you! 💗

[@jackiegould1569]

Meghan hears things other people have said that sound good and so she uses them. Unfortunately it doesnt sound so good when she puts it with all the other good sounding things she heard 😂😂😂 Its the same with her clothes. She sees something that looks good on someone else and buys it - without realising she is a totally different shape. Its almost like there isnt a real person in there just an AI that copies badly and is in dire need of a few tweaks.

[@thevintageread]

Very insightful! 😂

[@qhluvr77]

Excellent 😂😂😂

[@jennifer5130]

Loved this video. Although it may put me off pepperoni pizza, it confirms my belief that M isn't all there.

[@thevintageread]

😂💕

[@RockingReader]

Guurrlll. . . on the same wavelength about Sterotypes being the better name for MM's podcast. Every time I heard the podcast called Archetypes, it was like fingernails on an a chalkboard!! Such a "pepperoni pizza floaty" review!!

[@thevintageread]

😂💕

[@kathyevans2968]

As always, you’re to the point, down to earth and so perceptive! Thank you Shauna for painting the picture without word salad or a mish mosh of words!!! The guilt of expectations phrase is alarming as it made me think she felt like she had the arrogance that she was creating new phrases that would become part of the urban dictionary!! Clever & funny analysis!

[@zeldazoom4415]

The queen was from the era of beehive hairstyles and pearls. When Meghan married Harry she stepped into a life of roles, rules and order. Is she upset about the rules of the monarchy and how she had to follow those rules? She is bashing the queen? I am not so sure why she feels that we need to break free. Women in American can be anything they want. I worked in a mans job for 16 years, driving a semi truck. (There aren't many women that do that job.) My point is we can do anything we want. I am not sure why she feels that way. Maybe she has to have a platform and a cause. She tried the race card, maybe she is trying out the "I am woman" card? Maybe she should go for the Barbie card?

[@qhluvr77]

You are capable and awesome!! I also can drive a semi, and an excavator and…. Just wish there was a photo of me driving the the big Case IH tractor and 8 metre rake…..in a short skirt and heels 😂😂😂😂 True story. Girls and women can do anything, MM is trying to stir up support for the battles that were being fought, and won 50 years ago. Ridiculous.

[@cornelia9778]

[@14caz68]

The guuurl loves a cliché🤪

[@StandAsYouAre]

Why would M re-record something she thinks sounds brilliant? Sounds so wise? Never mind that it’s wrong, in M’s mind everything she says is fantastic and should become quotable and accredited to her.

[@thevintageread]

True 😂

[@sandraray3731]

Most of her comments just make me go “Huh?????”

[@kate2create738]

Her “guilt” trope is to find an excuse to not listen to when our conscience is screaming out “THIS IS WRONG!!” She’s trying in vain to be left unscathed by the criticism she DESERVES to be seen as self righteous, the issue is that some self righteous people can be the most condescending and even evil in how they believe the rules don’t exists for them as a member of society, yet to excuse they are above society.

She collects words & throws them out her mouth. No one ever said to her “think before you speak”

[@janeknight3597]

Miss Markle has never managed to do anything that indicates that she could be anything else than a girly girl.

[@HenriHowardEarlofSurrey]

Air head comes to mind

[@Maureen-cc3pl]

To me she comes across as playing at being a girly girl. She turns being a girly girl into a stereotype. Everything she does is always slightly off and unnatural. She is always playing a part probably because she is an empty bottomless pit. I could feel sorry for her if she wasn’t such a horrible person.

[@KarenSutherland-tg7su]

I'm laughing at "being born a girl" brings guilt!!! MM's words are usually hilarious. In MM's mind, she is the epitome of a superwoman.

Just as Sarah and Diana were meant to divorce together till Diana stepped back and let Sarah go it alone!

[@charlieromeolima]

Did you know Meghan's brother had written a letter to Harry practically begging Harry not to marry Meghan, saying it would be the biggest mistake in Royal history. This was 2 weeks before the wedding. It was aired on Inside Edition.

Some adults never grow up & that's the vibe I get from H&M. Basically Meghan be-friended the completely wrong Sophie which says a lot about her.

Thanks! 😃

[@lva9821]

Thanks for another great video! Concerning Meghan entering the royal family, I am more and more inclined to think she had the end in mind , right from the start. Making lots of money using the titles and the fame which come from the position. Call me suspicious or even cynical...

American girl, Now in my 50's, my parents were married in 1950. Not only were we expected to have husbands chosen for us but our education was downvalued. College and careers were not encouraged.

[@maureenormston8356]

She lives her life like a bloody novel. Not all novels have a happy ending.

[@glorialowe6237]

Nobody expected Sophie to do anything since she didn’t run for office. Also Sophie was married to a PM so I can’t imagine why Megan thinks that they have anything in common.
