Megyn Kelly did not hold back Monday in speaking her mind about Prince Harry and Meghan Duchess of Sussex. She didnât think much of their Netflix special either.
As noted by the New York Post, the couple was paid an estimated $100 million by Netflix for projects with the streaming service.
Dismissing the show as âthree hours I will never get back,â Kelly summed up the so-called documentary as âa boring, uninspiring, interminable waste of time.â
On her podcast, Kelly dipped into her trademark sarcasm as she summed up Harry and Meghan.
âBelieve it or not this couple is still complaining,â Kelly said.
âFrom the Montecito mansion, with two beautiful, perfectly healthy children, a little chicken coop and flower garden out back, matching Uggs for Meghan and her toddler, all royal titles still intact complete with matching stationery, and nearly 200 million in the bank thanks to their insatiable desire to âfinally tell their story,ââ she said.
âLike to Oprah. And on Spotify. And to NY Magazine. And in a memoir. And ⌠well you get the point,â she said.
Kelly bristled at the couple complaining the media was unkind to Meghan, calling the coverage they have received âfawningâ and noted that the parade of stories about Meghan âmade her a household name.â
âSome then said nasty things. Like calling her the C-word and the B-word and the other B-word and you know what, Meg? Been there, quick reminder!â she said.
Kelley said the prince and duchess live in a different world from the people they think should adore them.
âThe people this pair is asking to feel sorry for them, have their own problems. Real ones. They live paycheck to paycheck for the most part,â she said.
âThey have kids in public schools where they worry about depression or drugs and crazy teachers. They work all day. Theyâre tired. They need a vacation that theyâre probably not going to get, and they donât have a closet full of designer dresses, never-mind stylists surrounding them for major black-tie events as we see in this piece. They live in small houses or maybe an apartment,â Kelly said.
âThey keep a watchful eye on the rising gas and electric bills, the cost of groceries as they try to save for college and still give their kids a nice Christmas. Too often theyâre dealing with health issues or dependency or unexpected layoffs, and they certainly donât give a damn about the mean tweets being sent out about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,â Kelly said.
Kelly said she came away from the show with one revelation.
âOne thing I did find interesting was the amount of emotional baggage Harry still carries. Itâs big. Good gracious is this man insecure? Partly because heâs a ginger. Yes, wait for it. And partly because he clearly has not worked out the trauma of his motherâs premature death,â Kelly said.
âTime and time again, I said to myself, while watching this, âThis guy needed therapy.â Not the weird tapping thing he did â a real psychotherapist. That is what he needed. Not a whiny, woke, annoying wife,â she said.
After playing a clip of Harry saying his family was initially impressed that a guy like him could get a woman like Meghan, Kelly said, âHeâs not wrong.â
âDoes anyone really think if he were Harry Jones instead of Harry Windsor, this beautiful semi-known social climber wouldâve given him the time of day? It is a bit shocking that sheâs with him until you consider his title, fame, family, money, sort of, castles, staff, and access to fabulous things and people. Thatâs what lured her in, clearly, not Harryâs red hair and not his Mensa IQ either,â she said.
Kelly became fired up over a comment Harry made in the show that his wife no longer has a father.
âShe doesnât have a dad? What a farce. She does have a dad. He raised her and loved her and paid for her college and never asked for any of this attention,â Kelly said.
âYou know who doesnât have a dad? Me, and millions of others out there who would kill to have just one more Christmas with them,â Kelly said.
âHer dad has had two heart attacks and a stroke. He lives just a few hours away from her, but now heâs dead to them? Because he didnât deal well with the paparazzi heâs ghosted? I guess Harryâs her daddy now,â she said.
But if Kelly did not like what she saw, millions of people did, according to Reuters, 81.55 million viewing hours have been spent watching the show, and more than 28 million people have tuned in to at least some of the series.
