“We get it!”: Journalist slams Meghan Markle's flaunting of "her husband"
<p dir="ltr">American journalist Megyn Kelly has called out Meghan Markle for constantly referring to Prince Harry as “her husband”, claiming the former royal is doing it for attention.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the latest episode of her podcast, Kelly criticised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for “ripping on the royals”, to whom she said the couple owed literally “all of their fame and most of their fortune”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">She also took great annoyance with Meghan referring to Harry, who she married in 2018, as her husband.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“We get it, you bagged the gorilla,” Kelly said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Congratulations, you got the big bear, [and] you want us all to know.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Her criticism comes after Meghan spoke at length about Harry’s parenting skills in the latest episode of her podcast, <em>Archetypes</em>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Oh, my husband? Oh, he's great!” the 41-year-old said when asked whether Harry contributed much to parenting duties.</p>
<p dir="ltr">She said that Harry would help Archie while she cooks breakfast during their “chaotic” mornings.<br />“I make breakfast for all three of them. It’s very important to me. I love doing it,” Meghan added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kelly also took aim at Meghan for claiming she had never looked up the royal family prior to her relationship with Harry, calling the duchess a “liar”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The claim in question dates back to Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she said she “never looked up my husband online”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I just didn't feel the need to because everything that I needed to know, he was sharing with me — or everything we thought I needed to know, he was telling me,” she said at the time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Christopher Anderson, who appeared on the episode of Kelly’s podcast to talk about his new book, The King: The Life of Charles III, said that Meghan was like “every other young woman” and in love with the royals.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“She, like every other young woman that age, they were all in love with [the royals]. There are pictures of her at the gates of Buckingham Palace when she was a teenager,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Let's get real, there's always that eligible bachelor,' Kelly replied.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“For my age, it was JFK Jr., for her age it was Prince Harry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“She was a liar...that's really what we're both saying. She lied about it, she lied.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anderson also claimed the comments made about what colour skin Meghan and Harry’s child would have - said by an unknown family member - happened before their engagement was announced, rather than while Meghan was pregnant.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It was an instant conversation about two people who are going...if they are going to be grandparents, Charles and Camilla [were] speculating on what the kids might look like,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Obviously, you have two very attractive people here and ‘Gee I wonder what colour their eyes will be, what their hair would be like.’ You know this kind of thing it was something I would say [was] relatively benign and witnessed by several people and then spun into something toxic.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kelly added that the conversation between Charles and Camilla shouldn’t be considered racist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“You're just curious about how your baby's gonna look,” she said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“A negative judgement attached to a darker skin would be racist, but just wondering, that's not racist.”</p>
