Meghan Markle seemingly hinted at her very unflattering nickname after making a "veiled swipe" at her life in the Royal Family before stepping down as a working member.
The Duchess of Sussex previously revealed what her former nickname was, when she was part of the Royal Family before she and Prince Harry announced their departure in 2020.
The Sussexes, who stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020, joined forces with Netflix soon after their shocking departure. They also teamed up with Spotify with them signing a lucrative $25million (£19million) deal with streaming service.
However, the partnership with Spotify came to an abrupt and sudden end last year after the couple produced just a few episodes of one standalone podcast, Archetypes, which was hosted by Meghan.
The 12-episode series, which came to an end almost one year ago and saw the Sussexes branded as "grifters", saw Meghan chat with different celebrity pals, including tennis icon Serena Williams, legendary singer Mariah Carey, and socialite Paris Hilton.
In one episode, Meghan was in conversation with Mellody Hobson, a businesswoman, and Victoria Jackson. While chatting away, Meghan said: "I was just chatting with my girlfriends recently and I was asking them for the show, what sort of archetypes, you think we should discuss and almost immediately unequivocally they all jump to difficult.
"That's the word you have to talk about, 'difficult'." Meghan then explained to listeners that it had made her "feel seen".
Meghan then ended her Spotify podcast in her final episode of the series by hinting at her former nickname, "Duchess Difficult", with her touching on "labels that try to hold women back", according to reports.
The "nickname" came to light after it was alleged that while she was a senior working member of the Royal Family, Meghan would send "demanding" emails early in the morning to her staff. In 2018 it was claimed that she would "email her staff instructions as early as 5am".
Phil Dampier, a royal expert, and biographer, branded Meghan as "clever" for the "veiled reference to the restrictions in the Royal Family". Speaking to The Sun, he said: "It's a clever way of doing it because she’s not directly saying something but people can still read into it what they like. Then if anyone takes offence she can say 'oh I didn't mean it like that’."
