The ongoing media storm surrounding Meghan Markle shows no signs of slowing down — especially after conservative commentator Megyn Kelly delivered yet another scathing takedown of the Duchess of Sussex, this time sparking widespread backlash and a reportedly furious response from Meghan herself.
According to multiple sources, Meghan Markle is “livid” following Megyn Kelly’s latest podcast episode, in which the former Fox News anchor mocked Meghan’s recent appearance at a charity gala in Los Angeles. While Meghan was attending the event to promote women’s empowerment, Kelly criticized what she described as Meghan’s “relentless need to make every public appearance about herself.”
“What exactly is Meghan empowering?” Kelly questioned. “She shows up in designer gowns, dripping in privilege, lecturing working-class people about struggle. The hypocrisy is exhausting.”
The comments didn’t stop there. Kelly also took aim at Meghan’s much-hyped return to the public eye following a relatively quiet summer, accusing the Duchess of staging her appearances for maximum media coverage while claiming to want privacy.
“You can’t have it both ways,” Kelly said. “You don’t get to demand privacy and then call the paparazzi before every event. The American public is catching on.”
Sources close to the Sussex camp say Meghan was “blindsided” by the remarks and considers them “a deliberate and personal attack.” One insider claims Meghan feels Kelly crossed a line by “belittling her charitable work” and framing it as self-serving.
“She’s worked hard to rebuild her image and focus on her passions,” the source shared. “This kind of targeted criticism is not only hurtful — it’s meant to undermine everything she stands for.”
But Kelly’s remarks appear to have struck a chord with some members of the public, with social media lighting up in debate. Some praised Kelly for saying what many are allegedly thinking, while others slammed her for targeting Meghan in what they see as a “jealous and mean-spirited” rant.
The feud is the latest chapter in Meghan’s fraught relationship with the media — and especially with prominent conservative voices who have taken issue with her and Prince Harry’s post-royal lifestyle. Kelly has long been one of Meghan’s most vocal critics, accusing her of playing the victim while capitalizing on her royal status.
