Meghan Markle has found herself in hot water once again and was recently accused of ‘lying’ about her own past. The American royal is getting slammed by people on the internet who believe she may have been telling ‘fabricated’ stories about the jobs she had as a teenager and college student before her acting career took off.

In clips from her Netflix series, other interviews posted to social media, and footage from past interviews, the former actress can be seen sharing several tales about the jobs she had before entering the royal family. After piecing together a few of her stories, some are speculating that she is making a few of them up to seem more humble and down-to-earth to her viewers.

Clips Resurface Of Meghan's Storytelling

Ever since her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, was released earlier this month, the Duchess of Sussex has been under a microscope as internet users continue to absorb her new lifestyle content and the stories she's shared about her upbringing and life pre-royal family.

In a recent viral video compilation posted to X, the mom of two can be seen talking about several jobs she allegedly had before becoming a working actress. For instance, in one episode of With Love, Meghan, she said she used to work at a donut shop, baking "little tiny, mini donuts." Then, other clips show her telling different stories for the same eras of her life, leaving some viewers wondering if she's making up a few of them.

The compilation includes a moment from Meghan's latest interview with daytime talk show host Drew Barrymore. The Suits alum told Drew she was a nanny for "two Irish Catholic families" while she was in college. In another clip, she is seen telling one of the guests on her Netflix show that she worked as a "coat check girl" at a bar while taking on two majors as a college student.

Other jobs Meghan has mentioned in the past include working at a frozen yogurt shop and, of course, being the Duchess of Sussex and an active member of the royal family.

Internet Users Are Convinced Meghan Is Not Telling The Truth

Since reminiscing on her past, the Confessions Of A Female Founder host has caught the attention of some skeptical people who aren't so convinced she managed to work that many jobs before entering the public eye.

When the same video compilation was shared on Instagram, users took to the comments to call out the new lifestyle mogul and share their feelings about her stories.

"I don't believe a word she says," wrote one Instagram user, while another commented that they felt Meghan was spewing "fabricated histories and lies."

However, some others in the comments decided to defend the Duchess, writing that it may have been "possible" for her to work all those jobs throughout her life, considering she could've only had them for a short while.

"You can have more than one job, you know," contributed one commenter.

However, most of the conversations surrounding Meghan's former job history are quite doubtful, with many people standing on their beliefs that she is "inauthentic." Despite the backlash, she seems to be sticking to her latest roles as a television personality and lifestyle brand owner for as long as possible.
