Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s interview with Oprah Winfrey is set to shock the world on Sunday night when it airs on CBS. After months of controversy and now more recent bullying accusations made against Markle, here are five reasons why Brits hate Meghan Markle.

5. Meghan’s Previous Husband

There are several factors as to why Meghan has been an easy target for scrutiny. One reason is the unknown history behind Meghan’s sudden divorce from her former husband, Trevor Engelson.

RELATED: MEGHAN & HARRY’S NEW FIGHT AGAINST “CLICK BAIT” MEDIA HAS PIERS MORGAN FIGHTING BACK!

The split came ‘totally out of the blue’ according to Andrew Morton’s biography of Meghan, ‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’. In turn, this led many at the start of Meghan’s introduction to the Royal Family to be suspicious of her true affection for Harry or instead, her supposed desire for fame.


4. Thomas Markle And The Bad Blood In The Family

Interestingly, the topic of Thomas Markle is complicated and has brought about a lot of controversies. Ever since Meghan introduced herself as a royal, her father has been a close aid for the media in perpetuating stories on Markle and her relationship with Harry, even after Meghan asked him not to. Meghan’s father claims she won’t speak to him and he can’t get in touch.

Worse still, it seems Meghan wasn’t on good terms with her father on the weeks leading up to the wedding, creating a media storm of headlines that successfully managed to turn the couple’s royal wedding into a knockoff MTV-style reality show. The only problem is, there still isn’t much of a happy ending.

3. Prince Harry & Markle’s Mixed Messaging

Whilst Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were fulltime active members of the Royal Family, it seems they used the luxury of the monarchy’s extensive budget to their advantage. The two were often snapped boarding private jets, especially during the summer seasons, whilst also outspokenly campaigning for climate change reform.


Unfortunately for the couple, their use of private planes for unnecessary vacations lead to mass scrutiny over the couple’s hypocrisy.

According to the Evening Standard, a UK private jet “contributes 1 million tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere per year – the same amount that 450,000 cars create in the same timeframe.”

2. Harry And Meghan Sueing British Newspaper

Harry and Meghan have taken legal action against the press in the last few years. In 2019, legal action taken was in relation to a private letter published in The Mail on Sunday. The main claim was that the newspaper had misled readers, with Harry calling certain stories surrounding the couple as ‘relentless propaganda’.

The backlash from the public has largely centered around the couple’s craving for privacy, despite often making grand online appearances and even hiring photographers on special occasions. It seems many believe that Meghan and Harry are after good press and nothing else. But we’ll let you be the judge of that.

1. Exit From The UK

If there was ever a clearer reason as to why Meghan Markle is often disliked by Brits, it’s this. She stepped down from her royal duties alongside Prince Harry for what seems to be a more relaxed life in sunny Los Angeles.

Many believe that Meghan was unaware of the role she had taken in the Royal Family, oblivious of the expectation to perform such a role for life. Whilst it’s possible that Markle’s celebrity intentions may have gotten the best of her, and convinced Harry to also step down, they now have the opportunity to tell their story for the world. Tonight, on CBS, the two will tell all, or will they? We’ll find out!

All of the ‘Royals’ in Europe…as well as elsewhere in the world…are nothing more than leeches of the people. They serve no viable function other than to drain the common citizens of wealth that rightfully belongs to the people, not to some outdated system that reeks of racism, sexism, hypocrisy, and privilege, just to name a few things off the top of my head. They’ve enslaved entire peoples with their grand conquests and expansion through the cunning use of flags throughout history…and nothing good has ever come from these endeavors. ‘Royals’ have gotten our society into more wars than anything… Read more »

Royal society is a non-modern, patriarchal, extremely racist and bigot society. They expect women that marry into the Royal Family to be virgins, non-talkers, non-opinion-givers, have no real occupations nor a voice in general. So there it is, summed up all the reasons brits hate her. Meghan Markle is exactly the opposite of that.

1. She doesn’t owe anyone, especially the public an explanation for her divorce! 2. Just because he’s her Dad does not mean she is obligated to have a relationship with him, We as the public don’t know the whole story nor do we need to. 3. They are not the only Royals who allegedly use the “Monarchs Extensive budget” to their advantage. 4. The PRIVATE letter the newspaper published was exactly that, PRIVATE, because they want privacy does not mean they have to now live the rest of their lives as hermits, GOOD PRESS? Is that a joke, they have… Read more »

I’m british and one thing that wasn’t mentioned is that the British monarchy normally only marries within the nobility. Old fashioned I know but there it is. I have nothing against meghan as a person but she has to understand that marrying into an ancient royal family there are things you must do, you can’t just do what you want. There are even laws to stop such things that could lead to huge scandals and even imprisonment. I’m all for people marrying for love, that’s the way it should be but for European royalty it isn’t the same. You can… Read more »

Megan Markle is after diamonds & fame & had clearly shown that she had no interests in working for the Queen & the British Royal family. Megan just wanted recognition & to bask in the limelight. Prince Harry was the ladder for Megan to get what she wanted.

The royal family should have been great full for the diversity Megan brought. By shunning Megan, the Royals shunned the world except for those Moron Brits. Megan was a breath of fresh air for the royal family just like princess Diane was. To bad the royal family can’t see past their ignorance. Now the queen is dead the ignorance will continue. Thank God I’m not a brit.

Megan brought freshness to the royal family just like princess Diane was a breath of fresh air. To bad the royal family was too ignorant to see that. I don’t blame Megan for leaving the royal family. I applaud harry for following his wife. The royal family is a bunch of creeps.
