Tina Brown, a renowned journalist and former biographer of Princess Diana, has delivered a harsh critique of Meghan Markle, stating that she is "flawless about getting it all wrong." Brown, who served as the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair from 1986 to 1992, shared her candid opinions on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during an appearance on the latest episode of "The Ankler" podcast. While promoting her new Substack, "Fresh Hell," Brown, also a former editor of The New Yorker, described the 43-year-old "Suits" alum as having "the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world."
Brown also expressed her views on Prince Harry, suggesting that in England, he will continue to be the subject of career-driven criticism. "But actually, the thing about Harry is he's very good at being Prince Harry," she said. "And that's the tragedy of all of this, is that he is the most talented member of the royal family, without doubt, in terms of being a prince, which is all he does know how to do … he's really sort of flawless at it."
Regarding Markle, Brown added, "I think he's pretty much in the thrall of Meghan. The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She's flawless about getting it all wrong. She really is." Brown further criticized Markle's decision-making, stating, "She's a perfectionist about getting it all wrong. Her issue is that she doesn't listen. She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn't follow it. She does what she wants to do," concluding that "all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately."
Describing the duke as "naïve," Brown suggested that Harry is "really unschooled in the ways of the world." She noted, "Being Prince Harry means that I doubt if he ever booked a table in a restaurant. The army was great for him, and he was extremely good and competent in there, that really helped turn him into a real person." Brown also characterized Harry as "the lamb to the slaughter in this situation," stating that he was "terribly impressed by Meghan" and "blindly followed her like a child, really."
The Sussexes married in 2018 and left the royal family just two years later, leading to their trans-Atlantic move. Brown continued, "Unfortunately, [Markle] made every mistake in the book, and she's kind of run out of road. I don't know where Meghan goes. Harry could still, as I say, make a comeback. He'll always be Prince Harry. He'll always be the grandson of the Queen and the son of Diana." The Post has reached out to representatives for the Sussexes for comment.
Brown is well-known for her commentary on the royal family. In 2022, she released "The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil." Additionally, her 2007 biography of Princess Diana, titled "The Diana Chronicles," became a New York Times bestseller.
