THE eagerly-awaited royal documentary, Queen of the World, aired this week and fans across the country took to social media to voice their opinions on the programme.
During the ITV show, viewers were quick to comment on how “different” the Duchess of Sussex sounded, and now, a royal correspondent has weighed in on whether Meg really has had elocution lessons.
Twitter was filled with comments from viewers who believed Meghan’s voice had changed, with some thinking she’s “losing” her accent.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement almost a year ago, reports have suggested Meghan has been taking elocution lessons.
And now, former royal editor, Duncan Larcombe, has revealed to Elle UK that it’s possible Meghan has been given advice on public speaking and helped with breathing exercises, just like Kate Middleton before her wedding in 2011.
“This is not a surprise because the Duchess of Cambridge has had advice on similar aspects of public speaking however, it is a little different in Meghan’s case,” Larcombe explained, adding 37-year-old Meg is “keen to preserve her American accent, and has no desire to start talking and sounding like she was born and bred in upper crust English circles.”
Meghan's accent is gradually changing. She'll soon be full on rah hehehe. Love this woman so much!

Of course, with Meghan living in the UK and being surrounded by British accents, her voice could shift a little – something dialect coach Pamela Vanderway has suggested.
“It’s absolutely normal for a human being to take on the accent of the people around them when they want to belong to that group,” Vanderway told The Guardian.
“Accents are one of the ways human beings identify as being part of a group.
“[In] Meghan’s situation, she is representing the royal family, so she’s part of England.
“So there’s a particular pull for her to take on that way of speaking [and] she may or may not be taking it on consciously.”
Elocution lessons or not, we think Meghan is doing a pretty great job so far!

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
