Meghan Markle's 'Wildly Inappropriate' Interview Sparks Outrage as Couple Plans Next 'Pseudo-Royal' Colombia Tour, Declares U.K. 'Too Dangerous'
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were "ripped to shreds" by royal and showbiz commentator Kinsey Schofield for their "wildly inappropriate" CBS Sunday Morning interview on Sunday, August 4.
They have "no credibility of self-awareness," the creator and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast shared.
As King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales, both battle cancer, Schofield highlighted the contrast by imagining one of them discussing their struggle with a smirk.
"I think it is wildly inappropriate to make an interview like that about yourself. You will not see the Princess of Wales do a sit-down interview and laugh and smile her way through a cancer conversation," she told an outlet.
"She might take up pediatric cancer causes," she continued. "She might spotlight stories of children that touch her deeply. She is not going to mic up and try and garner sympathy for herself. Harry and Meghan not only lack credibility, but they lack self-awareness, and I cannot imagine what kind of h— it must be to work for these two."
Along with the Duke of Sussex, who sat to her left, the chat was the first joint interview the royal rebels have given since their explosive "tell-all marathon" with Oprah Winfrey on March 7, 2021. Although not as revealing as that sit-down, it seems the former working royal may want to continue the royal drama saga well into the future. This followed news of the duo's upcoming tour of Colombia in November.
The South American nation's Vice President, Francia Márquez, revealed in a Thursday, August 1, statement: "I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country. During their trip, The Duke and Duchess will join me in visiting Bogotá, as well as the Caribbean and Pacific regions of Cartagena and Cali."
But it was Meghan's "revealing" and "candid" insights into her 22 months as a working royal that ignited "the latest firestorm in the Sussex/royal rift."
"When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it," the Duchess of Sussex told Jane Pauley. "And you know, I haven’t really scraped the surface of my experience. But I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way. And I would never want someone else to be making those sorts of plans. And I would never want someone else to not be believed."
The ex-actress then poignantly stated: "If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good, so everything’s okay, then that’s worth it."
