Meghan is ‘flawless about getting it all wrong,’ says Princess Diana biographer

They say all publicity is good publicity — unless you’re Meghan and Harry, that is. Despite their valiant efforts (including a search for a PR guru) the dynamic duo never quite manage to stay out of the spotlight for long. Now the Duchess of Sussex has found herself in the firing line after Tina Brown — the former Vanity Fair editor who penned The Diana Chronicles on Princess Diana’s life — took to the Ankler podcast to blast the Montecito monarchs.

Slamming Harry and Meghan’s decision to step away from royal duties as a “disaster,” Brown went on to lament the “bad choices” made by the couple — adding that had they not been “hot-headed” they could have had a more positive relationship with Harry’s family. Turning to the Duchess, the ex-Vanity Fair editor remarked:

The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong. All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.

Ouch. Certainly Cockburn has questions about how Meghan’s “American Riviera Orchard’ lifestyle venture” is going — given over six months after she set up the Instagram page, nothing much appears to have come of it…

And on Harry, Brown was pulling no punches either. Dubbing the renegade royal as “the lamb to the slaughter in this occasion,” the Diana biographer noted: “He just sort of blindly followed her, like a child, really.” Don’t hold back!

Not that the pair aren’t used to criticism: Spotify exec Bill Simmons called the couple “fucking grifters” after Meghan’s failed podcast show was canned —and the two were voted Hollywood’s biggest losers by their own local paper last year. Crikey.

Brown’s comments follow the news that the couple have bought a new holiday home in Portugal, not far from one belonging to Harry’s royal cousin Princess Eugenie. “There’s a certain protection that many public figures feel [in the area],” the head of the local tourism board remarked to GB News, “as their personal lives won’t be scrutinized as much as in other places.” Not that this would be a selling point for media-loving Meghan, eh?
