Eagle-eyed fans believe Meghan Markle may have accidentally slipped up during a recent interview with Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore. In a resurfaced clip, Meghan appeared to fumble her words while describing her kids’ bedtime routine while travelling, seemingly admitting that she has hired help putting the kids to bed, rather than using Prince Harry, before quickly correcting herself. But viewers spotted the slip and are now accusing her of trying to quickly cover her tracks.
Meghan said: “I always make it a point when I’m travelling when I can’t do bedtime stories with my kids, because Archie and Lilibet are just three and five, so I’ll always pack a really thin book and I’ll tape myself reading it so whoever’s with them… papa’s with them, can say ‘there’s mama reading a bedtime story.’” The original interview aired during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, but it’s Meghan’s wording that’s now getting attention — especially her momentary hesitation before correcting “whoever’s with them” to “papa”.

One fan commented: “She tripped up. “So whoever’s with them….or, um, Poppa can say to them.” Busted!”
Another wrote: “The recovery is slow… oh, papa reads to them… oh dear.”
“She made a gross SLIP UP MISTAKE,” said a third, adding: “’Whoever is with them.’”
Others weren’t convinced by the correction, adding: “She also said ‘send them to whoever is with them’ — that’s like a lot of people.”
Another added: “It looks like she’s about to say ‘so the nanny’ but stops herself to say ‘whoever is with them, papa.’”
Critics also took issue with how rehearsed the moment seemed. “It doesn’t make any sense,” one viewer said. “It is like everything Markle does is scripted.”
The full quote came during a segment in which Meghan tried to express the importance of “showing up” for one another, saying, “You find ways to show up for each other.

And if that’s the one thing I can convey through the show or through As Ever as a brand, it’s I want you to know you can show up for each other because you know how good it feels when someone shows up for you.”
