India Hicks, the well-known goddaughter of King Charles, has quietly taken action to erase controversial Meghan Markle remarks from public view. Hicks, who hosts the popular podcast An Unexpected Journey, had recently published an episode featuring actress Brooke Shields — but now, that episode has mysteriously vanished.
Podcast Link Disappears from Public View
The episode, which drew viral attention, has been quietly erased from Hicks’
Substack site. Instead of the previous podcast content, fans now see a “page not
found” message — leaving many to wonder why King Charles’ goddaughter removed it
from public view.
Brooke Shields’ Remarks About Meghan Markle Spark Outrage
In the now-deleted podcast episode, Shields made unexpected remarks about Meghan
Markle during a discussion of their joint appearance at a South by Southwest
(SXSW) event in March 2024. The panel, titled “Breaking Barriers, Shaping
Narratives,” was meant to celebrate female empowerment. However, when Meghan
Markle began to share a personal childhood story about confronting sexism,
Brooke Shields interrupted her, saying, “When I was 11, I was playing a
prostitute,” referring to her role in the 1978 film *Pretty Baby*.
“Too Precious” Tone Criticized
King Charles’ goddaughter listened as Shields described the moment as “too
precious,” implying Meghan Markle’s tone clashed with the rest of the panel's
vibe. “I was trying not to be rude,” Shields said, “but I wanted to be funny —
it was so serious.” The remarks caused immediate backlash online, with many
criticizing the podcast’s tone and content. Shortly after, India Hicks —
goddaughter of King Charles — quietly erased the remarks from public view,
leaving listeners stunned.
Public Speculation Grows Around Hicks’ Decision
By quietly removing the podcast, King Charles’ goddaughter may have hoped to
defuse the growing controversy. Still, her decision to erase Meghan Markle’s
remarks and those of her guest from public view only sparked more questions. Did
the royal connection influence Hicks’ move? Was the removal due to pressure from
within royal circles? Whatever the case, the decision to quietly erase the
Meghan Markle-related remarks continues to stir debate.
A Royal Connection, A Public Silence
India Hicks, being King Charles’ goddaughter, has long held a respected position
within royal-adjacent society. Her choice to quietly remove controversial Meghan
Markle remarks from public view, however, signals a deeper tension between
public storytelling and royal image preservation. The goddaughter of King
Charles now finds herself at the center of media speculation — not for what was
said, but for what was erased. And with Meghan Markle continuing to make
headlines, this won’t be the last time royal-linked commentary is quietly erased
from the public view.
