Meghan Markle accused of putting on a British accent

Meghan Markle is seeing the wrong man if she wants to avoid the public eye, but a new story emerging from the UK has shown just how ridiculous this scrutiny can be.

The Mirror reports that Markle has been accused of putting on a British accent in public with her pronunciation of the word ‘scone’ on a recent trip to Scotland. 

Prince Harry and Meghan greeted the masses during their trip up north, where one of the crowd members, Carolyn Chisholm, had prepared some potato scones for the couple.

But Chisholm’s mother was not impressed by the Suits actor’s pronunciation.

"[Meghan] gave them to her aide, saying they were 'scones,'" said Lynda Clark, 70, noting that Meghan pronounced the word with a short "o," to rhyme with "gone."

Lynda added, "The correct pronunciation is ' scone'" said with a long "o," to rhyme with bone."
