are powerful, assert themselves, or even if they refuse the attention of some men. Markle then added, “I think what Robin is getting at … is that this woman, ‘Oh, she’s difficult.'” She adds, “Which is really just a euphemism or probably not even a euphemism, but really a code word for the b-word.” Markle’s eye-opening conversation also sheds light on her own journey with the word “difficult.” The Daily Express was the first outlet to brand her as “Duchess Difficult and she has struggled with the label since 2018.
