From Exalted Royalty to … Cooking Shows: Meghan Markle Made Prince Harry a 'Laughing Stock' in America
Meghan Markle was accused of making Prince Harry a 'laughing stock' in the U.S., thanks to tell-all documentaries and cooking shows.
Prince Harry once had it all before Meghan Markle started "calling the shots" in their marriage as "Megxit" started in early 2020. However, some analysts feel that the Duchess of Sussex has been the shot caller long before that.
"Meghan has pulled the strings of Harry ever since they met," royal author and one-time biographer of the fiery-haired prince Angela Levin dished.
"The thing is she has said several times that she can't stand the royal family, she can't stand the U.K., she's been unbelievably unkind and rude," she added. "No gratitude whatsoever, [she] sneered that £32 million [that] was paid on her wedding because she really wanted one that [grand] was more straightforward and not so messy."
The popular royal commentator then shared how the Duke of Sussex, who was at one time popular in the United States, has now become a "laughing stock" there.
"And that's one reason why he's not progressing with her, doing all the sort of cookery and all that stuff," she said as she referenced the Suits star's upcoming culinary and lifestyle show for Netflix.
Levin laid into the former actress even more and stated: "She said she doesn't want to interfere while Catherine and the King are not well, but she interfered when the Duke of Edinburgh wasn't well when the Queen wasn't well, so I don't believe that." Meghan had long been elusive in many of her criticisms of the monarchy directly, including during her and Harry's bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview in March 2021, which aired one month before Prince Philip's death.
However, her August 2022 interview with The Cut, published just 10 days before Queen Elizabeth II's death on September 8, saw her taking a more direct approach to her "attacks."
"I think forgiveness is really important," the royal rebel told the publication. "It takes a lot more energy to not forgive."
Meghan then spilled what became the most reported excerpt from the interview when she said: "But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I've really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything." Numerous analysts, both on the British royal family and within Hollywood, interpreted this as a direct threat to the Crown, which an ailing Elizabeth II still wore.
"When she gave that print interview days before Her Majesty died, it was meant to be a precursor to the Netflix show [Harry & Meghan], which deeply criticized the monarchy," a palace insider spilled. "She was still seething mad over being booed on the steps of St Paul's with Harry months before, but the late Queen's death took the wind out of Meghan's sails by swallowing up that threat and even that terrible podcast too."
The ex-actress' long-awaited audio show, "Archetypes," premiered two weeks before the late Queen died, which many feel helped diminish its ratings due to the enormity of the monarch's passing.
