Brooke Shields finally spoke on a much-talked-about moment involving Meghan Markle during a South by Southwest (SXSW) panel earlier this year. Speaking on a podcast hosted by India Hicks, the American actress explained why she interrupted the Duchess of Sussex mid-speech, an action that stirred considerable attention online.
The panel, held in Austin, Texas, in March 2024 to mark International Women's Day, featured journalist Katie Couric as moderator, with Markle and Shields among the speakers. What was meant to be a discussion on women's advocacy turned unexpectedly awkward when Shields felt the atmosphere was growing too heavy.
