There are lies that come from panic. There are lies that come from confusion. Then there are lies that come from entitlement. The kind that slip out smoothly, confidently, without a flicker of worry, because the person saying them believes consequences are for other people.
That is exactly what Meghan Markle displayed in the Oprah interview when she claimed she and Harry were married “three days before” their wedding, with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
She didn’t frame it as a private vow or a romantic moment. She framed it as an actual marriage. And she did it on global television with a smile, like she was sharing a charming secret.
But it wasn’t charming. It wasn’t harmless. And it certainly wasn’t true.
It was a lie told with ease because she expected everyone else to absorb it without questioning it.
The Lie Was Designed to Sound Like a Fairytale, Not a Fact
This is how Meghan operates. She doesn’t just lie, she packages the lie. She wraps it in sentiment and sweetness so the audience reacts emotionally instead of logically.
She didn’t say “We exchanged vows privately.” That would be plausible, normal, and not legally loaded.
She said “We got married.”
That choice of words matters.
It changes everything. It turns a private moment into a legal and religious claim. It drags an institution into her story. And it creates pressure on other people to defend themselves.
That is the real point. Meghan’s lies are never just personal. They are strategic.
This Was Not a “Little Mistake” Because It Had Real Consequences
Anyone trying to defend her will call it a misunderstanding. But a misunderstanding does not involve naming the Archbishop of Canterbury and implying a secret marriage happened before a globally televised wedding.
Her statement instantly created two outcomes.
1) It cornered the Archbishop into cleaning up her mess
By claiming he “married” them days earlier, Meghan effectively placed him in a position where silence would look like confirmation and denial would look like embarrassment.
So he had to respond.
That is the cruelty in it. It’s not just that she lied. It’s that she lied in a way that forced a senior religious figure to publicly correct her. She put a man of office into the role of damage control, because she wanted a romantic headline.
That is not a “slip.” That is reckless and selfish.
2) It undermined the legitimacy of the official wedding
Their actual wedding was not private. It was not hidden. It was a historical public event.
So why tell the world the “real” marriage happened earlier?
Because it reframes the real wedding into something performative, staged, and secondary. It whispers to the audience: That wasn’t for us, that was for them.
It’s the same pattern every time.
If the institution celebrates her, she uses it.
If the institution limits her, she devalues it.
Why She Lies With Ease: Because Her Lies Are Tools, Not Errors
Meghan does not lie like someone afraid of being caught.
She lies like someone who believes truth is flexible.
Her lies serve specific purposes.
1) She lies to control the hierarchy
In that one statement, she subtly placed herself above tradition, above protocol, and above the public.
She made it sound like she and Harry had something more intimate & authentic than the formal ceremony the world saw. Meaning the public wedding becomes “the show,” while her private version becomes “the truth.”
It’s not romance. It’s superiority.
2) She lies because she weaponises credibility
Notice how she used the Archbishop’s name.
That is not accidental. Meghan consistently attaches authority figures, institutions, or unnamed “professionals” to her stories so the claim sounds unquestionable.
It creates an emotional trap:
If you challenge her, you’re not questioning Meghan. You’re questioning a Bishop, a mental health system, the media, a palace, the world.
She borrows legitimacy as a shield.
3) She lies because her audience is trained not to push back
Oprah’s interview format is emotional, not investigative. It was built to validate, not verify.
No serious interruption.
No factual scrutiny.
No pressing follow up.
When people are rewarded for dramatic claims and never forced to clarify, they learn something quickly: the bigger the claim, the bigger the sympathy.
And that is Meghan’s favourite currency.
The Real Issue: She Throws Other People Under the Bus Without Hesitation
This is what makes the “three days before” lie especially revealing.
Because she didn’t just lie about herself.
She implicated another person.
A public figure.
A religious leader.
A man with a role, rules, and a reputation.
And she did it lightly, like it was nothing.
That is Meghan in a nutshell. She will step on someone else’s credibility if it helps her narrative sparkle for ten seconds. Then she walks away and leaves them to explain the truth
The Most Damning Part: She Didn’t Need to Say It At All
People make mistakes when they’re cornered. Meghan was not cornered.
She did not need to invent a secret wedding.
The real wedding already gave her global attention, status, wealth, and prestige. She had the world’s spotlight. She already “won.”
So why add this lie?
Because Meghan Markle is not satisfied with being celebrated.
She wants to be mythologised.
Not just a bride, but the bride with the “real” secret love story.
Not just a duchess, but the misunderstood heroine.
Not just a public wedding, but a private truth that makes everyone else look like outsiders.
She lies because she wants the story to always centre her as exceptional
This Lie Exposed the Pattern That Keeps Repeating
The Oprah claim wasn’t an isolated moment. It was a warning label.
It showed a personality that treats truth as optional when it gets in the way of image.
It showed a willingness to involve other people’s reputations in her personal brand building.
It showed that she will say what sounds best on camera and leave the rest to be tidied up by people with actual responsibilities.
That is why she lies with ease.
Because she doesn’t see lying as wrong.
She sees it as storytelling.
And she believes the world is supposed to play along.
