Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become favorite subjects of criticism since they confirmed their relationship in 2016. Things exacerbated after they officially tied the knot on May 19, 2018, and earned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
Aside from the allegations that they have been transforming the monarchy using their modern ways, critics also branded Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as “pathetic” and “irrelevant.” As if that is not enough, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also lambasted after they decided to leave the royal life for good.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Slammed Anew
Fox News talk show host Tucker Carlson criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after the royal couple hit out at COVID-19 misinformation being spread by fellow podcaster Joe Rogan using the said platform.
In a scathing attack, Tucker stated:
“That annoying fake duchess from LA and her brain-dead husband threatened to walk unless Spotify muzzled Joe Rogan. But they’re not going anywhere. These two grifters have a $25million deal with Spotify for essentially no work. So far, we believe they have produced just over 30 minutes of content. That means these two have been paid about a million dollars for each minute of talking they’ve done. That’s a good gig. It’s too good to leave.”
On The Five show, host Greg Gutfield said that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are a “bunch of deadbeats.” As if that is not enough, retired New York judge Jeanine Pirro even described the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as “pathetic” and “irrelevant.”

On Saturday, Feb. 5, Joe Rogan was in hot water again after a video of him repeatedly using the N-word on his show surfaced online. The 54-year-old comedian said it is the “most regretful and shameful thing” he has ever had to speak about, adding that the clips were “taken out of context.”
Aside from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Barack and Michelle Obama were also reported to be joining the Spotify exodus. Other personalities who criticized the music streaming platform include India Arie, Nils Lofgren, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young among many others.

A spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell, after the outcry over Joe Rogan’s show, stated:
“Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of rampant disinformation every day. Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all-too-real consequences of Covid-19 misinformation on its platform.”
Both Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have yet to comment on the latest criticisms thrown at them.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Warned Over Timing For Queen Elizabeth’s Meeting With Lilibet
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were told to be wary over the timing of Lilibet’s upcoming first meeting with Queen Elizabeth. PR expert Kinsey Schofield claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex must officially introduce their great-grandchild outside of an “established celebration” like Her Majesty’s imminent Platinum Jubilee.
Kinsey added that it would “be in everyone’s interest” that the meeting would be a “Specific and private trip” between the two justifying it would not distract from the celebrations.
The PR expert told Express UK:
“I think a specific and private trip to meet the Queen vs. infringing on an established celebration like the Jubilee would be in everyone’s best interest. The trip would not distract from the Queen’s efforts and there would likely be less of a safety concern.”
Reports about Prince Harry going back to the U.K. to attend the imminent funeral service for the late Prince Philip in April and Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth in June have been making rounds online for quite some time now. However, it remains to be seen if the Duke of Sussex would make a return with Meghan Markle, Archie, and Lilibet after he raised concerns over their security.
In January, Prince Harry issued a statement about his application for judicial review after a Home Office decision previously ruled he would not be allowed to personally fund police protection for his family while in England. The statement read:
“Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life. He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats. While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.”
