Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer senior royals as their roles ended on March 31st after they announced back in January that they wish to start a new life outside the Royal Family. After their announcement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex briefly stayed in Canada before heading to Los Angeles.
Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being slammed for their decision by the Duchess’ half-sister. Samantha Markle said that the couple is "cruel" for "abandoning" the Royal family during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Harry and Meghan don't seem to care about families or people around them. Their self-preservation is quite disgusting,” she said. “They can throw stones all they want but they are the biggest hypocrites out there now. It's a devastating pandemic, the idea of abandoning their families without so much of a phone call is just shocking. And now to abandon the British people and the royal family at such a critical time it is almost, it takes me back to the colosseum in Roman times… It just seems so horribly cruel."
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last Monday that Britons are only allowed to leave their homes to buy necessities, for medical needs, travel to or from work if they are unable to work from home, and once a day exercise. This is an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19. The rule should be strictly followed, including the Royal Family, for several weeks.
Meanwhile, this is certainly not the first time that Samantha blasted Meghan Markle. She even accused the Duchess of Sussex of being jealous of Prince William’s wife.
“I believe she was jealous of beautiful Kate,” Samantha Markle said. “She could never compare – Kate is iconic! Perfect Queen material and lovely as a family member especially as a mother.” She then praised the Duchess of Cambridge’s style. “I was impressed with how Kate could make a $200 dress look like $2 million,” she shared.
Samantha Markle also slammed Meghan Markle for “throwing herself” at Disney in an attempt to go back to the Hollywood ladder. It was previously reported that the former actress may be returning to the entertainment industry after she and Prince Harry announced that they will be stepping down as senior royals.
“The Disney movie would have been fine if initiated after leaving royal roles but seems inappropriate prematurely. And disrespectful of royal protocol,” Meghan Markle’s half-sister said. “It’s like cheating on a spouse and giving a phone number for a dinner date before being divorced. She kept her agent and manager and might have landed a Disney deal. It seems that the British royal family was a launchpad for high places than Suits couldn’t get her.”
