Meghan Markle — and her “Archetype” podcast listeners — “started to sweat” after Mariah Carey accused the Duchess of Sussex of “diva moments” in Tuesday’s episode.

When Markle, 41, told her guest that she does not personally “connect to” the “diva … persona,” Carey, 53, interrupted.

“You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan,” the singer said. “Don’t act like [you don’t].”

The “Suits” alum appeared flustered, asking, “What kind of diva moments did I give you?”

Carey then clarified that she meant Markle’s “visual[s]” and not her personality, saying she “didn’t mean” anything by the comment and was “playing” with the former actress.

Markle expressed her relief after the interview ended.

“She must have felt my nervous laughter, and … she jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing,” she explained.

“She meant diva as a compliment, but I heard it as a dig,” the duchess continued. “That moment, as she explained to me, she meant it as chic, as inspirational.”

Markle came to realize Carey was complimenting her.
