Today Show host fuming after featuring in Meghan Markle’s podcast without permission
Allison Langdon has been left fuming after her voice during a Today Show segment was used on Meghan Markle’s podcast.
The Duchess of Sussex has released a few episodes of Archetypes in which she discusses various topics and her experiences since marrying Prince Harry.
In the latest episode The Stigma of the Singleton, Meghan played part of an old interview she had with fellow actor Mindy Kaling where she spoke about the sexism reporting she endured when she and Prince Harry started dating.
“When I started dating my husband, and we became engaged, everyone was just like, ‘Oh my god, you’re so lucky, he chose you,” the Duchess of Sussex is heard saying before it cuts to Ally’s comment.
“The happy couple has enchanted the world with their real-life fairytale,” Ally said.
“And at a certain point, after you hear it a million times over, you’re like, ‘Well I chose him too!’” a fed up Meghan says.
She then goes on to say that she is grateful to have Prince Harry by her side who was counteracting the comments.
“They’ve got it all wrong. I’m the lucky one because you chose me,” she claims Prince Harry said.
“But it is gendered and it’s archetyped and stereotyped that you’re so lucky, and it just feeds into this idea that you’re waiting for someone to tell you that you’re good enough, as opposed to knowing that you’re good enough on your own.”
When Ally found out that she was featured in the new episode she said she was listening to it with “steam out of my ears”.
“What part of that was saying, Harry (chose you)... oh, my gosh,” a furious Ally told co-host Karl Stefanovic.
“Whatever side of the fence Ally is on in this story, she gets smashed by Meghan,” Karl responds.
“All I know is that I had a lot of mates who liked Meghan for a long time and none of them do anymore,” Ally finished, explaining that the episode made her head “explode”.
The Duchess of Sussex has caused quite a stir with her podcast Archetypes and is being called out by several big names around the world.
