Brooke Shields revealed that she had tried to amuse Meghan Markle during a panel at the SXSW conference in March 2024, but his attempt turned.
The bride’s mother shared that she had interrupted the Duchess of Sussex during the speech because the conversation was too serious.
Recalling the incident, the actor said that Meghan told his well -known story about the writing to Procter & Gamble at the age of 11 to protest a sexist dish soap.
Speaking on India Hicks’ Podcast, she added that the moment became too heavy and decided to clarify the joking atmosphere: “When I was 11 years old, I played a prostitute”, referring to her role in the film Pretty Baby.
The public laughed, but Shields said that Meghan did not seem too satisfied with the interruption.
“It was simply too precious,” she said about Meghan’s story, adding that she was afraid that the public want to “sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anyone who is precious or serious”.
“Katie poses the first question to Meghan and explains how, at a young age, she was already pleading for women, etc., etc.”, recalls Shields, referring to the host of the host Katie Couric.
While Meghan Markle shared his familiar story on writing in a soap company at 11 years old to protest against a sexist announcement, Shields said that Meghan had mentioned his age several times.
On this subject, the actor estimated that he became too serious and decided to interrupt his speech community, saying: “Excuse me, I am really sorry. I must interrupt you for a minute.”
“I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious,” she added.
“I just want to give everyone here a context of the way we are different. I said:” Well, when I was 11, I played a prostitute. “”
“The place went crazy. And fortunately it was more relaxed after that.”
But Meghan apparently didn’t take it well. “And then after, she was a bit like, Oh, okay. And I said to myself, we have fun with it,” said Shields.
