Commentator Megyn Kelly has made explosive claims regarding the Duchess of Sussex’s conduct in the final years of Queen Elizabeth II’s life. During a recent podcast appearance, Kelly asserted that the actions of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry placed immense strain on the late monarch, a period she described as one of “bullying” that hastened the Queen’s passing.
Kelly specifically pointed to the couple’s 2021 televised interview, suggesting that its timing—while Prince Philip was gravely ill—demonstrated a profound lack of consideration for the royal family. She characterized the decision to level public accusations during such a private and difficult time as particularly cruel.
The commentator also revisited Meghan Markle’s fractured relationship with her father, Thomas Markle. Kelly cited the estrangement as a pattern of behavior, noting that he was “disowned” despite health issues, and framed it as an example of how the Duchess has handled personal conflicts.
This pattern, Kelly argued, extends to nearly everyone in Meghan’s orbit, claiming she has a history of “ostracizing” those around her. The commentator further expressed deep skepticism about the longevity of the Sussexes’ marriage, labeling it a union of convenience that was necessary to secure business deals in the immediate aftermath of their departure from royal duties. She stated her belief that the marriage’s dissolution is inevitable.
In her most pointed critique, Kelly referenced a photograph of Meghan taken at the location of Princess Diana’s fatal car accident. She described the image, which showed the Duchess in a relaxed pose, as “callous” and indicative of a disregard for Prince Harry’s feelings concerning the traumatic loss of his mother.
