Jameela Jamil gives fresh insight into Meghan Markle’s bond with Prince Harry

Jameela Jamil upbraided critics of Meghan Markle, praising her relationship with husband Prince Harry and describing the Duchess of Sussex as “very normal, kind and civilised” while appearing on the ninth episode of Markel’s podcast, titled The Audacity of the Activist with Jameela Jamil and Shohreh Aghdashloo.

The She-Hulk star, 36, compared her relationship with husband James Blake to the one Meghan share with Prince Harry. “He just likes that I am completely myself and I think that he really enjoys the fact that I am not repressed in any way and therefore I don’t really have anywhere that I need to let off that steam, I don’t hold in any toxicity, I get everything off my chest, to you know, mixed results. He is incredibly supportive of me, and you know he has been a big encourager of me to learn how to fight back and speak my mind and understand my worth, and he is just a great ally. He is just an incredible human, an incredible friend and I don’t think I could have withstood all this without him. I know you have a very similar dynamic with Harry. It is a really sweet dynamic of you two,” she said.


Jamil further said, “Actually when the four of us met that one time it was a really sweet dynamic of two very similar relationships, and it was very nice for me to see that you have that in your home because you need it,” Jamil said. “Because it’s an unfathomable amount of s*** that you take Meghan, I can’t believe it.”

The actress continued, saying that she “fought back for years” on Meghan’s behalf and that she was “so outraged by the twisting of this very normal, very kind, very civilised woman”.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
