Meghan Markle Admits the One Thing She Wishes She Could Change originally appeared on Parade.
Meghan Markle is no stranger to the spotlight, but now she's opening up about the one thing she wishes she could change about her public image.
In a preview clip, which aired Monday, June 15, for her upcoming appearance on the Aspire With Emma Grede podcast, the Duchess of Sussex candidly reflects on the massive shift in her life since she became romantically involved with Prince Harry. 'It is very different,' she smiled in response to host Emma Grede's observation that the public narrative surrounding her has drastically changed.
When Grede asks Meghan if she could "rewrite" her public narrative, the 43-year-old said, "Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth." This admission is part of an upcoming episode that promises to explore Markle's journey throughout the years.

The podcast appearance followed recent criticism from some about a video shared on Instagram June 4 where Markle and her husband danced—and twerked—while awaiting the arrival of their daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do! 😂,' she wrote in the caption. The couple also share a son, Prince Archie, 6.
Fans were quick to criticize Markle's moves, many noting how the video was distasteful. Megyn Kelly even slammed the Duchess, calling the video 'bizarre' and 'uncomfortable,' among other things, and just an attempt to look good to the public. 'She wants us to love her, whatever it takes,' Kelly, 54, stated on her show, The Megyn Kelly Show.

Corrie's Cait Fitton opens up on harsh sides of fame - 'it's taken time'
Since joining Coronation Street last year, Cait Fitton has braced herself for the challenges of soap stardom. Cait Fitton recently hinted at brewing turmoil for her character, Lauren Bolton, in Coronation Street, saying, "She's at a really stable point of her life. She has a job at the Rovers behind the bar and she's learning the craft. She's trying to build relationships. That's where the party comes in." What starts as fun quickly leads to disaster when Aadi (Adam Hussain), egged on by Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), decides to throw a bash. READ MORE: Coronation Street Brody's real dad revealed in huge DNA bombshell READ MORE: Amazon reduces 'long lasting' Hugo Boss perfume that 'always gets compliments' In scenes airing on ITV, Lauren attends with Summer, Nina, and Brody, but drama unfolds when newcomer Brody, portrayed by Ryan Mulvey, begins peddling LSD. Confiding in her fans, Cait revealed, "Lauren doesn't even know what is going on," and "She has anxiety over whether or not she should even be there because she doesn't know anybody apart from Betsy. She seems out of place, though she tries her best to fit in." The turn of events sees Lauren accidentally consuming LSD, leading to a harrowing ordeal. "She has a traumatic experience with it," Cait shared, insisting that "We see a side of her that we haven't seen for months." Her experience at the party sets off a chain reaction affecting her trajectory on the show. With anticipation, Cait suggested, "It's going to be a rollercoaster. Everybody at that party - their lives are going to be changed. I don't know how she'll go through it. " Cait has opened up about the challenges of her intense soap scenes, admitting that while she's flourishing as Lauren, the emotional demands of the role have been a journey. "It's taken me a long time to have thick skin, it's not an overnight process," she reveals." We are normal people outside of filming, but everyone sees the characters as actual people. That can be really hard, especially with Lauren, who is a complex character. "The actress shared how tough it's been on set since her co-star Paddy Bever, who played Max Turner, left the show following his character's arrest and imprisonment for arson. "It's been really hard without Paddy," Cait confesses. "My journey started with him and his time ended with me. It was strange to wrap my head around doing scenes without him. I miss working with Paddy." Despite the distance, Cait maintains a strong bond with Paddy. "I am in touch with him," she says, "We're both very busy, but we do catch up. We are in need of an in-person catch-up soon. "In the wake of Paddy's departure, Lauren has found camaraderie with Betsy Swain, portrayed by Sydney Martin, and Cait is thankful for her new co-star. "Sydney has a beautiful aura to be around," Cait praises. "She's so positive and the best person to go to for advice. I had that with Paddy but being with a girl who is the same age as you is different. We clicked straight away. We're always looking for each other at work. She's like my home. " The duo enjoy spending creative time together, even planning a pottery date. However, Cait has also received support from several other co-stars, including David Neilson, who plays Roy Cropper, and Alison King, known for her role as Carla Connor.

Gerard Butler Accidentally 'Insulted' This Award-Winning Director During Very Awkward Audition
Gerard Butler is opening up about one of his more ill-fated Hollywood auditions. During a recent interview with HuffPost UK to promote the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, the Scottish actor admitted he once inadvertently insulted an esteemed director while trying out for one of his films. While he didn't disclose the name of the movie, he did reveal that the film in question was a remake, directed by Joe Wright. Gerard recalled that, during the audition, 'I said, 'so why are you remaking it?' – and I didn't mean it to be cheeky, I was just curious!'. 'He gave me such an intelligent answer, and at the end, I said something like, 'is that it?',' he continued. 'And I mean it as in, 'is that the end of my audition?'. And he was like, 'yeah'. And I just got up and left and went, 'well that was the weirdest thing'.' Gerard added: 'I think he was just insulted that I said, 'why are you even doing this?', when I had no right to be asking that question! I was just trying to make conversation!' 'I got up and left, so I still to this day don't know if I was expected to read or not,' he quipped. 'I'm wondering if there's still a chance of me getting this role. Who knows? I mean, it was about 12 years ago…' Over the course of his career, Joe has helmed several remakes and adaptations of classic works, including 2005's Pride & Prejudice (earning him a Bafta for Most Promising Newcomer), 2012's Anna Karenina and 2015's Pan, a Peter Pan prequel starring Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard the pirate. The British filmmaker went on to direct the war movie Darkest Hour, for which Gary Oldman earned an Academy Award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill, the Netflix thriller The Woman In The Window and the romantic musical drama Cyrano.
