David Letterman, the iconic former host of The Late Show, graced the stage on Monday, November 20th, 2023, for an interview with his successor, Stephen Colbert. 

Amid the banter about Letterman’s Netflix series, his distinctive beard, and tales of retirement, the evening took an unexpected turn when the veteran host dropped a bombshell aimed squarely at Meghan Markle, the former actress and Duchess of Sussex entangled in a web of controversy and alleged deceit and hypocrisy.

Letterman peeled back the layers, recounting an interview he conducted with Markle for his Netflix show, an episode buried due to legal complications and public outcry. 

Despite initial impressions of Markle as smart and articulate, Letterman confronted her about the glaring inconsistencies and contradictions in her narrative. The revelation unfolded through glimpses of the unaired interview, showcasing moments where Markle’s narrative crumbled.

One instance saw Markle disavowing any pursuit of fame or additional publicity, vowing to channel her platform toward noble causes. Yet, Letterman seamlessly juxtaposed this with past interviews where Markle candidly admitted to employing a PR team and orchestrating paparazzi stunts for attention. 

Markle’s claims of persecution by the British media and the royal family, coupled with allegations of suicidal thoughts, faced scrutiny as Letterman showcased a different side. Contradictory statements emerged from a documentary where Markle admitted to struggling, and from a podcast featuring Prince Harry attesting to his daily check-ins and attempts at professional help.

A royal insider account detailed Markle’s refusal to cooperate with palace staff, portraying her as rude and demanding. The expos didn’t stop at contradictions; Letterman dug into Markle’s activism, feminism, and racial identity. Clips rolled of Markle flying on private jets, adorned in opulent attire, and residing in a grandiose mansion, all while advocating for climate change and equality. 

Markle’s critiques of patriarchy, monarchy, and media were juxtaposed with her own privileged existence, exposing a stark incongruity. The claim of being a woman of color clashed with a denial of her white heritage, creating a complex portrait of identity politics.

The audience’s reaction ranged from shock to hearty laughter, punctuated by applause, as Letterman masterfully dissected Markle’s narrative with his signature wit and sarcasm. 

Colbert chimed in, adding humor to the mix while expressing gratitude for Letterman’s courage and honesty. The hope lingered that this riveting episode would soon find its way onto Netflix, with a cheeky acknowledgment of potential legal repercussions from Markle.

The aftermath rippled across social media, where the episode swiftly went viral. Praise for Letterman’s bold exposure of Markle’s alleged lies and hypocrisy flooded in, elevating him to the status of a hero and legend. 

Criticism of Markle’s perceived dishonesty and manipulation echoed through the internet, branding her as a fraud and a narcissist. Amidst the fervor, sympathy extended to Prince Harry, seemingly ensnared by Markle’s narrative, with calls urging him to break free and return to his familial roots.
