Mariah Carey appeared to snub Meghan Markle during a new interview despite previously featuring on the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast.
The pop star was asked about her interactions with members of the Royal Family ahead of her performance at Sandringham later this month.
Carey was asked who she had met from the Royal Family but failed to mention Meghan, instead naming the Duchess of York.
She said: “Fergie (Sarah Ferguson) I thought she was cool.”
During her appearance on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast in 2022, Carey and Meghan discussed the term 'diva'.
Meghan said: “I think that's really important for people to remember that there might be this persona, and yes, the diva thing, we can play into. It's not something I connect to.”
However, Carey disagreed with the Duchess of Sussex insisting: “You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan...”
Carey continued: “It's also the visual, it's the visual. A lot of it is the look, let's say you, let's pretend that you weren't so beautiful and didn't have the whole thing, and didn't often have gorgeous ensembles, you wouldn't maybe get as much diva.

“I don't care, I'm like when I can, I'm going to give you diva.”
Meghan said regarding her interaction with Carey on the podcast: “My fangirling was tempered today. I kind of think she could tell.
"But that aside, it was all going swimmingly, really well, until that moment happened, which I don't know about you, but it stopped me in my tracks. When she called me a diva.
“You couldn't see me, obviously, but I started to sweat a little bit and started squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt, like ‘wait, no, what, how could you? That's not true, why would you say that?’

“My mind was genuinely just spinning with what nonsense she must have read or clicked on to make her say that, and I just kept thinking in that moment was my girl crush coming to a quick demise? Does she actually not see me?
“So, she must have felt my nervous laughter, and you would've all heard it too, and she jumped straight in to make sure I was crystal clear when she said diva, she was talking about the way that I dress, the posture, the clothing, the quote, unquote fabulousness, as she sees it.
“She meant diva as a compliment, but I heard it as a dig, I heard it as the word diva as I think of it, but in that moment as she explained to me, she meant it as chic, as aspirational, and how one very charged word can mean something different for each of us, it's mind-blowing to me.”
