Meghan Markle claims she was FORCED to attend royal engagements after son Archie escaped fire
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle claimed in the first episode of her new podcast that she was forced to continue with engagements on a South Africa tour even though she was distraught and left in tears when her son Archie narrowly escaped a fire in his bedroom. Meghan opened up about the fire during the tour of South Africa in autumn 2019 during a conversation with Serena Williams in a podcast titled 'The Misconception of Ambition with Serena Williams'.
"There was this moment where I'm standing on a tree stump and I'm giving this speech to women and girls, and we finish the engagement, we get in the car and they say there's been a fire at the residence. What? There's been a fire in the baby's room," Meghan said while speaking in the podcast about the fire in South Africa in Archie's room. She added, "We came back. And, of course, as a mother, you go, 'Oh, my God, what?' Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken. And what do we have to do? Go out and do another official engagement. I said, 'This doesn't make any sense.'"
