"And I think ambition is a horrible, tragic thing," she said. According to one, it is not a woman that is pregnant. Well, since I felt the negativity behind it, it's really difficult to get rid of it.' However, her swipe was described as "a smack in the face for Harry and a blow to the Royal Family." Meghan 'would still be a D-list celebrity if she did not marry a prince,' royal commentator Angela Levin said of the hypocrisy in the remarks, implying that she would have not married a prince.' Meghan came across as a "ungrateful and a victim" when she had "too many chances not to," she added, adding that many royals are ambitious and have had success in both their personal lives and fundraising funds for charities.

People should expect the authentic me in this and maybe the me that they have never heard about,' she said.

Meghan spoke to Serena Williams, author of 'The Misconception of Ambition,' about the double standards women face when they are described as 'ambitious'. She also revealed that she had suffered "behind closed doors" and that she did not 'ever remember personally experiencing the word optimistic until I started dating my now husband. And, of course, aspiration is a terrible, sad thing.' 'According to some, it is a woman that is not.'
