Megyn Kelly calls Meghan Markle ‘totally un-self aware’ after watching her interview with Oprah
Megyn Kelly saw the much-anticipated interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Oprah Winfrey and she doesn’t have a lot of good things to say about Markle.
She blasted at her, describing Markle as “un-self-aware” on Monday morning, hours after Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Winfrey aired for claiming she wasn’t attached to the “grandeur” of being the Duchess of Sussex.
“[Meghan] goes onto say, I don’t believe in any of the grandeur. There’s an article already up on the New York Post here in the States that’s saying this is the person who had Clooney and Oprah at her wedding even though she didn’t even know them, and then covered herself in blood diamonds from a Saudi Prince, so like, spare us that you’re not into any of the grandeur,” Kelly said on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” via The Daily Mail.
The ‘blood diamonds’ remark comes after Markle wore a pair of lavish drop earrings gifted to her by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, shortly after the controversy regarding the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi erupted. At the time, Kensington Palace said the earrings had been “borrowed” but did not reveal from whom.
She said, “What I saw tonight was somebody who is totally un-self-aware, completely unaware of how she sounded,” the veteran journalist continued. “Like, ‘I wasn’t planning on saying anything shocking, except for my husband’s racist family almost drove me to suicidal thoughts while I was pregnant with my baby.’”
Kelly also criticized Markle for not specifically ruling out Prince Philip as the royal family member who allegedly had concerns over her son’s skin color before his birth, though Winfrey confirmed Monday morning it was neither the Duke of Edinburgh nor Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince Harry and Markle refused to reveal who was behind the concerns, saying it would be ‘damaging’ to them.
It remains to be seen what further comments this interview elicits as more and more people gain access to it.
