Wendy Williams is calling out Meghan Markle, banging her for remarks the Duchess of Sussex made about the challenges of royal life. The TV presenter claimed, “You knew what you were doing.”
In a recently released video from the ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Meghan, 38, said the past year of marriage has been “difficult” and living under public examination has been “critical.”
“In all fairness, I had no idea,” she said. “But when I first met my now-husband, my friends were really happy because I’m so happy, but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great but you shouldn’t do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life.’”
Wendy Williams Slams Meghan Markle
“Yes, you did. You knew exactly what you were doing,” Williams said on Tuesday, October 22, after showing the video. “And I applaud her plot-action on the royal situation. But please, don’t try to garner sympathy from us. You knew what you were doing.”
Williams went on to call Meghan’s unnamed British companion, who advised her not to marry Prince Harry.
“Like, you meet a Prince, and your friend’s going to tell you not to marry? Or Meghan‘s lying to try and get sympathy, for us to give her sympathy.”
There’s always a possibility Williams’ dispute with the Duchess begins from the moment the former actress decided to get a job as a model on the talk show.
She didn’t get the opportunity, but she did land a task as a “briefcase girl” on Deal or No Deal, before her big break on Suits and, of course, her 2018 marriage to Harry.
“I like them, but there’s something about her, you know what I’m saying?” Williams added on her show. “And you know what girl, Meghan, Meghan don’t be surprised that the paparazzi are everywhere. Of course, because you’re now a royal. They weren’t following you when you were on Suits, we didn’t even know who you were except when you came for employment here at Wendy and wanted to be one of our runway models.”
“Meghan, nobody feels sorry for you. You knew what you were signing up for, girl!” Wendy concluded.
Williams isn’t the only one upset with Meghan’s comments, her brother-in-law Prince William is also furious with the interview, an insider revealed.
“He sees this as all very harmful to the royal family, a family that one day he will be the king of,” the insider explained.
