The Sussexes faced further humiliation as they were heavily criticised.
GB News presenter Alex Armstrong has slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, branding the couple “insufferable” in a scathing rant. The TV host appeared on News 24, formerly Sky News Australia, where they discussed how much money Prince Harry, 41, will be forced to pay after losing his lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Mail. Speaking to Danica De Giorgio, Alex accused the Duke of Sussex of having a “vendetta” against the press, claiming he continues to pursue it in an effort to remain “relevant”.
He said: “I understand why you may have some bad blood towards the press, but this has dragged on. The press in Britain has changed a lot. I believe part of this is to keep himself relevant. Most people settled their cases a long time ago. He said he was going to fight it to the end. Well, he fought it to the end and lost. He could have settled and made some money. Maybe that just goes to show how terrible the business acumen between the two of these guys are.”
He joked that Meghan, 44, would have to sell “a lot of jam” to help cover Harry’s legal fees.
The presenter continued: “What kind of money is he bringing in? Nothing. The guy’s best cameo recently was on MasterChef Australia because Megan facetimed him. How insufferable. What a life to live.
“They could have lived in palaces. They could have been the most popular royal part of the royal family in Britain. Before he met Meghan, Harry was always the most popular royal here because he was seen as so down to earth and one of us.
“He ruined all that. He has bent over backwards for a woman that just wants to see him crumble so that she can take the spotlight. Look how badly it’s gone. They’re going to be in debt to 50 million quid. Who’s paying that?”
Danica also mentioned Harry’s upcoming visit to the UK in September, questioning whether he will once again seek taxpayer-funded security.
Alex slammed the prospect, believing there was no threat against Harry’s family until after he “bragged” about how many people he killed in Afghanistan.
He fumed: I speak to veterans all the time, and they say that is a no no. You don’t do that. Don’t stir up the enemy. We don’t glorify our kills. We do what we do for our country. But Harry decided to put that all in a book and then put it in an audio book and then talk about it on national TV.
“The reality is British people don’t want to pay for Harry. We’re sick of these grifters. We don’t want them here in Britain. They’ve made their life in Monteito. They wanted to have privacy, but they’ve done anything but that.
“I think British people have well and truly turned on Harry. He’s lucky that the king is offering him a room in Buckingham Palace. When William takes over, we know that he’s done with Harry. This might be Harry’s last bit of redemption, but I don’t think it’s going to last very long.”
Danica agreed with his assessment, declaring: “I don’t think so either. Everyone is done with Mr and Mrs Grifter. They have become tiresome, boring and annoying.”
