Meghan says she didn’t realize ambition was considered bad until she started dating Harry


Meghan started her new podcast, “Archaetypes,” which “dives into the labels that try to hold women back,” with an episode on “The Misunderstanding of Ambition with Serena Williams.”
After recalling her experience successfully lobbying Procter & Gamble to turn a sexist ad for dish soap at the age of 11, she spoke with Williams as “that dirty, dirty word about women – ambition”. talked about.

“I never personally realized the negative connotation behind the word ‘ambitious’ until I started dating my now-husband. And, um, apparently ambition is a terrible, terrible thing — a woman.” For – according to some –,” said the Duchess, who is an executive producer of the podcast, a co-production between Archwell Audio, Gimlet and Spotify of Sussex.

“So, since I’ve felt the negativity behind it, it’s really hard to feel it. I can’t even see it in the millions of girls and women who make themselves small — so small — on a regular basis,” He added.

Meghan began dating Prince Harry in 2016. They met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend in July of that year, and by November, Harry issued a statement calling for abuse and harassment, which was often sexist and racist. To stop his girlfriend.

In her podcast, Meghan talked about the “pain” of being the wrong character, saying that if a person is ambitious, it is “so celebrated”, but, in a school classroom, “if a little girl Ambitious or raises his hand more, what is he called? Bossy.”

Williams, whom Meghan said “embodies a sense of ambition,” agreed, adding that “hopefully we can teach our girls to raise our hands and be fearless.”

Earlier this month, the tennis star announced that she would “step away from tennis” after this year’s US Open to focus on “other things that are important to me”.

“My whole life has been the same and so now I can focus on Serena Ventures, which I’m excited about,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion said in the podcast.

She also said that she wants to “expand” her family: “I’ve been lucky enough to play tennis really well, but I think my best is to be a mom. I think I’m really into it.” I can be good.”

The tennis legend talked about how “difficult” it was to make the decision and announce, “I was in Switzerland and I was just sitting in the hotel at the desk, just typing and deleting and I was typing and thinking. Then crying and sitting at my computer and tears rolling down my face as I am typing these words and going back to these memories.”

Meghan said, “Sometimes the ambition in women also shows that you are not afraid of anything.” “But as you heard Serena say, of course, the fear is still there. I’ve lived with her with her. The fear of making that decision recently.”

“So, while Serena may soon be closing her chapter of playing professional tennis, she is not closing the door on her ambition. She will continue to do great things. To be the greatest of all time off the court. To be ambitious , and I think it’s a beautiful thing,” the Duchess said.
