Meghan Markle didn’t mess around when she sat down with Drew Barrymore—turns out, she had a laundry list of rules locked in tight. Sources are spilling that Drew had to jump through hoops just to get the chat rolling, and it’s got everyone talking.
According to an insider dishing to RadarOnline, Drew wasn’t even allowed to freestyle her questions. Nope—every single one was pre-vetted and handed over to Meghan’s team way before the cameras rolled. “Every question was run by Meghan’s people first,” the source spilled. “That’s why she looked so slick and polished the whole time.” No curveballs, no grit—just a smooth, shiny script. Fans caught on quick, too, wondering if they were watching an interview or a rehearsed play. Spoiler: It was the latter.
The insider didn’t hold back: “This wasn’t a real talk—it was a performance, all staged to make Meghan shine.” Drew, apparently, was just following orders, even down to calling her “Meghan Sussex” on air. “Drew knew it’d rub some viewers the wrong way, but she went with it anyway—landing Meghan was a big win for her show,” they added. Smart PR move? Maybe. But it’s got people asking: Can Meghan handle the heat of real, unfiltered scrutiny?
Fans are split down the middle. Some are still swooning over her, while others are fed up, calling her out for dodging the tough stuff. “Everything was pre-approved, and that’s gonna stir up gossip,” the source said. “It chips away at the honesty people expect from someone in her spotlight.” The vibe? Less heart-to-heart, more Broadway act—carefully choreographed to keep Meghan’s image spotless.
But here’s the kicker: This peek behind the curtain might backfire. “It’s feeding the idea that Meghan cares more about her brand than real talk,” the insider warned. “With every detail planned out, it’s less like a chat and more like a showpiece.” Drew played along, sure, but the strict rules—down to the Sussex name-drop—left a weird taste for viewers at home. Was it worth it? That’s the million-dollar question buzzing now.
