KUALA LUMPUR: Royal author Tina Brown has sharply criticised Meghan Markle, claiming she has "the worst judgment" of anyone in the world.
Brown, a former Vanity Fair editor and author of Princess Diana's 2007 biography, made the remarks during an appearance on The Ankler Podcast to promote her new Substack newsletter, Fresh Hell, according to the Hindustan Times.
"The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world," Brown reportedly said.
"She's flawless at getting everything wrong. All her ideas are total nonsense, unfortunately."
Brown has previously described Meghan and Prince Harry as "addicted to drama" and called their decision to step back from royal duties a "disaster."
She also likened Prince Harry to a "lamb to the slaughter," claiming he blindly followed Meghan "like a child."
In her 2022 book, The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, Brown has been openly critical of the royal family, including the Sussexes.
She has also shared that advisors long suspected Harry would leave the royal family due to his unhappiness with its constraints.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have faced scrutiny over their recent purchase of a home in Portugal.
The move, which comes after their eviction from Frogmore Cottage in England last year, has raised eyebrows, with royal expert Angela Levin questioning their motives.
The couple's new home is reportedly near Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's property at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, with whom they are said to be close.
Levin speculated on GB News: "Is this their way of going around Europe, pretending they're still royals?"
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, married former American actress Meghan Markle in 2018.
In 2020, the couple stepped down as senior royals and relocated to the US, sparking global controversy.
Their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they discussed their struggles with the monarchy, further divided public opinion.
While initially gaining sympathy, particularly in the US, their popularity has since declined.
In the UK, many criticise their actions, and even in the US, support has waned, though some still see them as underdogs challenging royal traditions.
