Royal author Tina Brown, best known for her 2007 biography of Princess Diana, has unleashed a scathing attack on Meghan Markle, accusing her of having ‘the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world.’ Brown’s comments, made during a recent appearance on The Ankler Podcast, paint a starkly critical picture of the Duchess of Sussex.
Brown doesn’t hold back, labeling Markle’s decisions as consistently poor and her ideas as ‘total crap.’ She goes on to suggest that Markle’s primary issue is her inability to listen, leading to a series of missteps.
In a particularly pointed remark, Brown alleges that Markle convinced Prince Harry that her Hollywood background would propel them to stardom, effectively putting him under her spell. ‘He’s pretty much in the thrall of Meghan,’ Brown claims, emphasizing how Harry blindly follows her lead. She portrays him as a ‘lamb to the slaughter,’ highlighting his vulnerability in this dynamic.
Brown’s comments come at a tumultuous time for the Sussexes. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and moving to California, the couple has faced intense public scrutiny and criticism. Their recent purchase of a property in Portugal, marking a partial return to Europe after their eviction from Frogmore Cottage last year, further fuels the media firestorm.
The Sussexes’ transition from royal life to independence has been a rollercoaster ride of significant milestones, challenges, and public scrutiny. Their decision to step back from royal responsibilities in early 2020, seeking more privacy and autonomy for their family, marked a turning point. Following their departure, they moved to California and focused on building their brand and family. They secured lucrative deals with media companies like Netflix and Spotify to create content aligned with their values.
Prince Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare, provided candid reflections on his life, including his experiences as a royal and the challenges he encountered in the public eye. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to remain prominent figures in the media, navigating their new roles and evolving narrative with each passing day.
Brown’s harsh critique of Meghan Markle adds another layer to the already complex narrative surrounding the Sussexes. As they continue to build their life outside the royal fold, the public’s fascination with their choices and actions remains unwavering. The spotlight on the couple shows no signs of dimming, making their every move a source of intense scrutiny and debate.
