Meghan Markle accent: Has Meghan’s American accent changed? Analysis revealed

“We chose these vowels as, listening to dozens of recordings on YouTube, we felt there may be some change in how she produced them.”

And the study reached some surprising conclusions.

The researchers, Dr Adrian Leemann, Professor Jane Setter and Dr Sam Kirkham wrote: “Our preliminary analysis shows that Meghan Markle’s articulation of the word ‘thought’ remained virtually identical between 2015 and 2019, while her production of ‘lot’ actually became more similar to ‘thought’ over this period – which is closer to the pattern we might expect in California English.

“This is arguably the opposite of what we’d expect if Markle was sounding more British.”
