Resurfaced Clip Brings Meghan Markle’s ‘Waity Katie’ Comment Back Into Debate
And though it’s been a minute since Meghan Markle brought up that nickname during an interview, her words are coming back to haunt her, and the debate around the situation has been reignited once again.
Tabloids gave Kate the nickname while she and William were still dating.
At the time, multiple outlets including the Daily Mail, were calling her “Waity Katie” for how long Kate seemed to be willing to wait for William to ask her to marry him — and the fact that she didn’t appear to be working on a career of her own in the meantime.
Meghan brought it up years later, and now, her words are going viral all over again.
Of course, once Will and Kate were engaged, the nickname faded away… but Meghan brought it back up again during her infamous sit down interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, and the audio from that interview is being used in the TikTok above that’s now going viral.
While speaking about the negative ways she’d been treated by the press since marrying Prince Harry, Meghan said, “Kate was called Waity Katie, waiting to marry William. While I imagine that was really hard, and I do, I can’t picture what that felt like, this is not the same.”
