The Duchess of Sussex speaks to Variety, the bible of entertainment. She sings the praises of the recently deceased sovereign. But she carefully avoids the thorniest subjects. For someone it is an olive branch given to the Windsors. For others, just yet another drama

Meghan Markle, the emotion of saying goodbye to the Queen Meghan Markle, the emotion of saying goodbye to the QueenPRAISE TO THE QUEEN – For once, no criticism of the royal family, the Palace breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, this time Meghan was not only careful to avoid sensitive topics, but she spoke words of great affection for the recently deceased queen: 'she was a shining example of female leadership and she left a great legacy on more fronts. I am deeply grateful that I was able to get to know her and spend time with her. It is a complicated period but my husband, the usual optimist, said that at least now she is reunited with her husband Filippo ”. In short, Meghan paints her relationship with the queen as strong and stable and goes on: 'Our first (and only, ed) official engagement together was special, I feel lucky and I am proud to have had a warm relationship with the matriarch of the family'. Perhaps exaggerated words, but which follow the path of peace between Sussex and Windsor. If it is true that Harry wants to mend relations with his father and brother, this is a good start.
FABULOUS DRESSES – During the shoot Meghan lets herself go, lays on her stomach, pouts in front of the photographer and then bursts out laughing. The team of Variety he shot it in his villa in Montecito, but neither in the video nor in the images do you see Harry and his children Archie and Lilibet. The duchess played at being a diva (but she swears that she will not go back to being an actress), changing her clothes several times. A pink and white Jason Wu for 5,000 euros, a Carolina Herrera garment for over 3,000, a jumpsuit by MaxMara combined with jewels costing thousands of euros, and a green satin dress by Galvan (1,500 euros).
THE DOCUMENTARY WILL BE MADE – The interview of Variety it should have been released on September 14 but after the death of Elizabeth II, Meghan had asked that it be kept on standby for a while and perhaps even modified so as not to seem too critical of the royals. The operation was successful and the Duchess also confirms that the Netflix documentary on the life of the Sussexes will be broadcast, but she did not specify when. The couple turned to director Liz Garbus 'completely trusting her, even if she won't tell our story the way we would have liked'. Who knows what that means…
I FELT OBJECTIFIED – In the latest episode of his podcast, Archetypes , Meghan also opened up about her past career as a showgirl when she was working on the show Deal or not deal , dressed in a provocative way with very exposed legs and breasts. 'I felt objectified - she said - They treated me like a' child '', a term that indicates a sexy but stupid woman. Immediately after her words, a former colleague of hers, Claudia Jordan, replied on Instagram: 'They have never treated us like this and that show has offered us many opportunities'.
