She sat down to speak with the founding partner of Kardashian brand Skims, on her show Aspire.
The mum-of-two was asked by her host: "If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?"
Meghan replied: "Yes. I would ask people to tell the truth."
Grede came back: "You're very measured about it, I would just get so angry if I felt like everyone was lying about me all the time."

"Peaks and valleys," said the Duchess.
"Of course, I've gone through those chapters and you do a lot of work, you do a lot of self work and go, 'What's the why?' It's happening for a reason."
The mum-of-two also said her "dear friend" Serena Williams told her "a lie can't live for ever".
"Eight years is a long time, but not for ever," she added.

Meghan is 'social mountaineering' herself to the top. The lack of authenticity is palpable
She added: "It was only once we were married and everything started to really worsen that I came to understand that, not only was I not being protected, but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family.
"They were not willing to tell the truth to protect myself and my husband."
Prince Harry and Meghan met on a blind date in July 2016, before going official later in the year.
The in 2017, Meghan was on the cover of Vanity Fair for their October 2017 issue and talked publicly about their relationship for the first time.
It was later announced that the pair were

They welcomed Prince Archie in June 2019 and stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, quitting the UK.
The couple have since been embroiled in a bitter feud with the Firm.
Harry, alongside his wife, has continued to drag his family name through the mud, from their 2021 Orpah interview to his 2023 memoir Spare.
And, the latest blow to their fractured relationship came when the Duke of Sussex
He filmed a rare sit-down chat after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.
Royal author and broadcaster Hugo Vickers and news commentator Samara Gill also spoke to The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson this week about Meghan's podcast comments.
On Royal Exclusive, Matt noted how he was stunned at Meghan's latest podcast interview where she asked people to "tell the truth about her".
Samara said: "The fact is she is a constant liar and her whole brand is built on a spin of lies."
"I don't trust a word that woman says. I think it is very, very low for her to insinuate that we should listen to her truth or that the royal family should tell the truth.
"The lack of authenticity in that interview is palpable."
Samara added that perhaps the "revolving door of staff" the Sussexes have employed may shed more light on "truth".
Samara also referenced bullying allegations levelled at her from staff during her time at Kensington Palace.
The royal expert added: "I don't want to listen to this woman about truth.
"The fact of the matter is that she is a constant liar."
Hugo agreed with Samara on the issue and questioned how accurate Meghan's accusatory comments actually were.
He said: "I think Samara and I, as well as others, do tell the truth about her and I don't think she likes it very much."
The royal expert added: "No one would actually listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't for the fact she married Prince Harry.
"It's because she's married to Harry it gives the soap opera quality that seems to appeal to everyone.
"Otherwise would not really care about her, a lot of other people are doing stuff similar to her on social media anyway."
This comes as Meghan has now has
The 2023 pink booze from Napa Valley, California, will be sold via her As ever website from July 1.
It has been announced alongside two new spreads now available including a Limited-Edition Orange Blossom Honey for $28 (£20).
And she has also restocked six of the original products including $15 flower sprinkles.
But there is no new raspberry spread available after Meg admitted she may never restock the infamous jam spread.
Hypocrite Meghan CAUGHT OUT playing major power game – she knows exactly what she's doing

ROYAL experts have said Meghan Markle has been caught out playing a power game after she was caught
calling herself 'Her Royal Highness'.
Meghan was caught using the
The present was filled with ice cream and jam and came with a note on monogrammed paper, signed: "With the compliments of HRH the
Both Meghan and Harry agreed not to use their HRH title at the Sandringham Agreement five years ago amid fears they would use their royal titles to make money after leaving the working royal family.
Sources have said that while
The source said the note was a "personal gift" but the couple don't publicly use HRH.
However, The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson has said she was 'caught out' by the inclusion of the picture.
He said: "She's kind of almost been caught out because I have a theory on this that maybe she hadn't seen the edit or she wasn't aware this picture was going to be shown or maybe her staff didn't realise the gravity or we'd end up talking about it lots.
"Is there a danger that it could be, and we don't know, but I'm just guessing, that if she's sending cards to friends, private gifts with HRH, Duchess of Sussex, there are also emails or contacts that we don't see publicly, she could be speaking to Netflix bosses, Spotify bosses using this title."
Public Relations Consultant Mark Borkowski also agreed the image caught Meghan out for using the title for leverage.
He said: "It's clearly social capital. I mean, I think that I'm sure her PA uses it to ensure that she gets that top table at a restaurant."
He went on to add: "Of course it adds weight and she knows it adds weight. And it gives that sort of subliminal aura that she still has links with the British Royal Family, which is a very, very, very powerful brand globally, particularly in America.
"And the fact is, if you are disconnected from that, of course, you lose your social capital, you lose your weight in terms of sort of some of these deals that she's trying to do.
"I'm sure she is using that, when it's important, when she has to land something to remind the people the power that she possibly has.
"This is a power game. And no more than in America where that status is so important because without that status, she's just another sort of B-lister in a continent absolutely populated with celebrities."
