Everyone has something to say about the interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave Oprah about their decision to break away from the Royal Family, but it basically always seems to boil down to praise or criticism of Markle herself.

Megyn Kelly was among those who had some harsh words for the Duchess of Sussex.

“She’s painting herself in adorations while she was making complaints that will be totally unrelatable to 99% of people,” Kelly told Good Morning Britain, calling Markle “un-self-aware.”

“‘I wasn’t planning on saying anything shocking, except my husband’s racist family almost drove me to suicidal thoughts while I was pregnant while I was pregnant with my baby,’” she mocked.

‘She’s painting herself in adorations while she was making complaints that will be totally unreliable to 99% of people.’

Kelly also took aim at Markle’s comment that she’s not attached to the “grandeur” that comes with her title, noting that she had a fancy wedding — as if anything less would have been acceptable or within her control.

And all of this was after Kelly spent time on Twitter “dissecting” the interview with critical take after critical take.

Naturally, the people who already find problems with every single Markle does lauded Kelly for her comments, praising her for “seeing through” the interview.

But in reality they were married in secret 3 days before hand. Could have saved us £32m. Deceitful people.

But honestly, it’s tiresome. Constantly picking apart a woman who is in a position that is, in Kelly’s own words, completely “unrelatable to 99% of people” just seems utterly pointless, and the fixation high-profile people like Kelly have with doing so because it will get them attention is pretty transparent itself.

Megyn Kelly has the audacity to accuse Meghan Markle of not being self-aware and then proceeds to critique Oprah’s interviewing skills.

Yes, actually.

Mind you this lady was so out of touch with reality, problematic, and bad at interviews they paid her $30 million to fire her.

Seriously. She is like giddy to trash Meghan Markle. And is also changing hmmmmm what Meghan said. Having a big princess wedding is the protocol. That isn’t evidence that she cared about all this stuff. Megan Kelly hurling logical fallacies left and right.

As Kelly also opted to criticize the interview skills of Oprah — freakin’ OPRAH — along with her criticisms of Markle, it was difficult not to be reminded of her history with racism.

Good Morning Britian chose Megyn Kelly to comment on the #OprahMeghanHarry interview. Not a BLACK WOMAN REPORTER, but a white right-wing extremist who was fired by NBC for racism and defending blackface.

This just reaffirms how horribly the British press treated Meghan.

one wonders if Fox News has given her a quota of racist statements she needs to make before she can be rehired by Fox.

Quelle surprise that Megyn Kelly walks away from the interview with criticisms directed only at *checks notes* the two black people involved.

Happy Monday to everyone except Megyn Kelly and the people who think her racist ass is a journalist.

Megyn Kelly giving interview advice to Oprah Winfrey is equivalent to Milli Vanilli giving voice lessons to Aretha Franklin.

Why anyone brought Kelly on to speak about the Harry and Meghan interview is just baffling, unless it was simply that they wanted to ensure they’d end up broadcasting out-of-touch opinions from someone with no idea what they’re talking about. If that’s what they were going for, Good Morning Britain certainly succeeded.
