Royal slams Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for ultimate public betrayal

He’s not mad, just disappointed. - by Faye Couros
  • 29 Mar 2021

Prince Albert II has come up swinging against Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after their interview with Oprah because he thinks those issues should be dealt with within “the intimate quarters of the family.”

In a rare interview, Monaco’s head of state spoke to BBC World News to discuss his work protecting global marine ecosystems during Monaco Ocean Week.

However, he couldn’t help but air out his true feelings about the Oprah interview when BBC presenter Yalds Hakin brought up the infamous tell-all.

It is not often such a high-profile royal will speak so candidly about members of another royal family, but it seems Prince Albert was ready to lay out his grievances.

“It’s very difficult to be in someone’s place. I can understand the pressure that they were under, but I think this type of public display of dissatisfaction, to say the least, these types of conversations should be held within the intimate quarters of the family,” said Prince Albert.

The prince claims that while he feels empathetic towards Meghan and Harry for what they are going through, he still finds their actions tasteless.

 “It doesn’t really have to be laid out in the public sphere like that. It did bother me a little bit. I can understand where they’re coming from in a certain way, but I think it wasn’t the appropriate forum to be able to have these kinds of discussions,” said Prince Albert.

Albert’s late mother, Grace Kelly, draws parallels with Meghan Markle as she too was an American actress who married into royalty.

Similarly to Meghan, it has been reported in the years since Grace had passed that she had a hard time living within the constraints of royal life.

However, her problems were vastly different from Meghan’s as she faced infidelity and neglect within her relationship with Prince Rainier III.

"It did bother me a little bit," Albert said of Meghan (left) and Harry's (right) tell-all.

Celebrity biographer Wendy Leigh wrote in her book True Grace, “Grace was humiliated and she was extremely unhappy.”

“She was surrounded by decadence and Rainier’s disreputable friends.”
