Megyn Kelly Has an ‘Unsympathetic’ View of Prince Harry and Meghan’s Pleads for Protection | GMB

let's talk to megyn kelly she hosts the megyn kelly show podcast and megan you came over to cover uh harry and megan's royal wedding for nbc's morning show today and that was a time when there was a universal i'd say love and admiration for the couple but they say it all went downhill from there and you know she has made some pretty explosive accusations and allegations not just about the royal family but about the impact that it had on them will she will they get sympathy or criticism over in the states which loves the royal family what do they feel about the couple i think over here it's breaking down by uh party the more conservative leaning people are against them and the more liberal people are for them and uh and against the monarchy so it's sort of the same today as it was yesterday but i'll tell you just watching it myself and i was one of the people on the streets rooting for them delighted that this was happening ready was exciting um she was an american she's a person of color it looked like the modernization of the british monarchy the british people adored her i saw them i interviewed them um but what i saw tonight was somebody who was totally unself-aware i mean completely unaware of how she sounded right like i i wasn't planning on saying anything shocking except for my husband's racist family almost drove me to suicidal thoughts while i was pregnant with my baby um and by the way i had no idea what the internet said about harry nobody believes that and i i thought meeting the queen was going to be just like meeting a celebrity in los angeles like like meeting a kris jenner right like nobody believes that then she goes on to say like i'm not i don't i don't believe in any of the grandeur you know there's an article already up in the new york post here in the states saying this is the person who had clooney and oprah at her wedding even though she didn't even know them and then covered herself in blood diamonds from the saudi prince so like sparrows that you're not into any of the grandeur and then while she's spinning this tail about how tough she had it in the castle how lonely she was in the castle um she's she's painting herself in sort of these adorations like i i was incredibly courageous of me to come forward about my depression and i just love saving things and it was like it was just peppered with these compliments of herself while she was making these complaints that will be totally unrelatable to 99 of the people out there yeah i you know what meg i couldn't have put that better myself so uh but mainly because it's the level of disingenuousness and harry also you know to a point i expected all this from meghan markle i could almost have scripted what she was going to do mental health race all the hot button things were going to be played against the royal family there'd be no names they wouldn't name people on that they just leave it hanging so we could look at all the royal family and the whole palace staff as a bunch of callous racists and that's exactly what she did and i expected all that and i expected all the layers of hypocrisy prince harry is the one that i'm staggered by as his grandfather lies in hospital aged 99 entering his third or fourth week now clearly been very seriously ill had a heart procedure a few days ago the queen must be worried sick about her husband and the queen and prince philip have worked so hard for seven decades now to preserve the monarchy and in two hours prince harry has allowed his wife to trash everything that they stand for i just don't get what he's thinking well and meanwhile her implication that somebody in the royal family objected to her having a baby of color could i mean right here on the speculation on twitter is that it was that it was prince philip right so i don't know who it was but while the guy's in the hospital you might you might want to put like a corral around him and say i can tell you it's not the suffering 99 year old i don't something right to like throw the guy a bone but the other thing about harry pierce is that his biggest complaint and her biggest complaint was we were worried about the security we were worried about the security of our son why would they take it away why wouldn't they make him a prince by the way i care nothing about titles at all but why why wasn't my son a damn prince um okay so we're worried about security and then harry's saying all i had was my mother's inheritance so i looked that up it's about 15 16 million dollars so you're telling the american public the british public right now we're supposed to feel sorry for you because you couldn't find a way to pay for your own security when you haven't had to pay for a dime of your own life so far the british taxpayers have paid for everything exactly okay you might have to pay for something even the refurbishment okay even the two and a half million pound refurbishment frogmore cottage was paid for by us they eventually paid it back from their netflix gazillion they mentioned in their interview that they were subject to death threats and we know that even if they if prince harry took a step away from the royal family by didn't of his birth he is always going to be by your own security i'm going to do royal juice be at risk you don't change your birth when you're getting away with commercial people is it not reasonable for them to expect to continue to be protected because i think a lot of people will think it is really and then they're running 100 million from netflix you know i wouldn't presume to speak for the for the palace right and how the rules are but i think as a grown adult you know what the rules are and when you are a multi-millionaire with all that dough in your pocket you've never had to pay for anything your entire life you can shell out a few dollars to protect your child if you're that worried about it a lot of people have had death threats i'm sorry to say it's a faction of modern life if you are a famous person and they're gonna have to deal with this and so far they seem to be very well ensconced in a very safe place here in california but if you want your liberty then you're going to have to pay for it that's the way life works it's really it's not a difficult thing to work out to a couple who were clearly at risk all they were asking for was to be protected oh please you're buying into their ludicrously self-serving narratives is that i'm sorry well you can just they were told when they finally made them when they finally made we're leaving britain we're leaving the royal family we won't do any more duty and they said okay well in that case i'm afraid the paid security that comes with the job of doing royal duty that i'm afraid goes with the job and at that point they throw the toys out of the pram so can i just say this here's the other thing that really irritated me about the whole thing i understand they had problems if if there is a racist in the royal family saying stuff like that about their child it's deeply upsetting i get it but nowhere in there did i hear any acknowledgement of the enormous privilege they have right some perspective saying look it wasn't a great experience we chose to leave that was the way that wasn't the way we wanted to live our lives but we understand there's so much suffering in the world we've seen it firsthand this past year in our in both of our countries and we're good we're grateful for the blessings we have we're not here to complain love ourselves meghan markle actually compared being trapped inside the palace uh as to what people are going through in pandemic lockdown she literally wanted people who were living on tower blocks in estates with four kids homeschooling she wanted them to know i know what that feeling's like i've been in a palace with a bunch of servants yeah she was very lonely in her palace and then she compared herself to the little mermaid the little mermaid who married a prince and lost her voice it's like so it wasn't predictable at all to you that when you moved into the palace someone else was going to control the press my six-year-old daughter knew that before i went off to cover the royal wedding everyone knew that and you felt that somebody that you were working for was lying about you or mistreating you isn't it reasonable to say that you felt unprotected and that you felt abandoned and that you you know when she says all she wanted to do was go out and have lunch with friends she hadn't been out for four months she literally flew to new york for a 500 000 baby shower and flew back on the clooney jets i don't you can't even be prepared give me your face what it is like to be having lunch with her in new york no okay so listen but you guys know as well as i do look the press was vicious toward her i get it after they were lovely toward her right and press cancel before you finish that sentence let me again just remind people of all the front pages of the terrible british press around the world around their engagement and then their wedding yes later unified absolute ecstasy about the fact that harry was marrying a biracial woman unified not a word not a word of descent this is what the british press actually published not what's in their minds or what they read on social media because if it was about race they would have been brutal to her from the start they were over the top in love with her and then her behavior changed and their coverage changed but look this isn't all the fan the fault of the royal family she became a royal she married a prince the press is going to cover you i mean even in my much lower station in life as a news anchor the press is brutal you get punched in the face rhetorically all the time and it's awful and it's a fact of life you have to learn to deal with it doesn't it shouldn't drive you to that kind of depression those kinds of self lamentations and and the fact that she became suicidal over the fact that the press was nasty she was stuck in a castle and there might have been a racist in the royal family is truly shocking it's truly shocking we don't know she says she went to the palace about her mental health and got rejected who was that person at the palace that rejected her and what was her husband doing about all this she says harry says there was a racist in the family spewing racist stuff about his baby who was that racist you can't just spray gun people anonymously and then smear them all you
