“Harry and Meghan were hit with a humiliating five-word nickname as they were torn to shreds in a blistering on-air rant.” The Sussexes became the target of a savage takedown as the presenter dragged up everything from their reported Netflix fallout to a trip mocked as a “pretend royal tour.”

TalkTV presenter Kevin O’Sullivan launched a scathing attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, completely tearing the couple apart after what appears to have been a dramatic few weeks for them. On 17 March, Variety Magazine published a detailed exposé on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, chronicling their fallout with streaming giant Netflix.

Despite Netflix collaborating with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, just last year, the two have now suddenly parted ways. Kevin also took aim at the pair for their upcoming “pretend royal tour”, which will see them visit Australia next month to take part in a number of private, business, and philanthropic engagements.

He also slammed the former Suits actress, 44, for using her four-year-old daughter Lilibet to boost her brand sales, and claimed “the dim Duke and difficult Duchess” have reduced themselves to “pound store stars for sale”.

Kicking off the blistering rant, Kevin said: “For Meghan Markle and hapless Harry, the day of reckoning has surely arrived.

“After the shock new addition of Hollywood’s bible, Variety Magazine, devastatingly chronicled the decline and fall of the gruesome twosome’s relationship with Netflix, serious questions are being asked.

“How much longer can the Sussexes maintain their carefully choreographed image of success when the specter of failure seems to haunt their every move.

“Reduced to hawking themselves as pound store stars for sale on their upcoming pretend royal tour of Australia, the dim Duke and difficult Duchess appear to have careered into the dead end of desperation ally.”

He went on to slam Meghan for selling basic As Ever products for “astronomical” prices

The TalkTV host continued: “Meghan regurgitating her all too familiar rebuttal of pretty much every word of Variety’s clearly meticulously researched article, shortly before announcing that she’s got more tat to flog us on As Ever – her weird website offering mundane domestic products at astronomical prices.

“Posting on Instagram of an exciting partnership with some flower arranging outfit accompanied, of course, by the standard issue footage of the back of Lilibet’s head. If you’ve got a four-year-old daughter, you might as well use her to plug your extraordinarily expensive wears.”

“She’s holding a flower and you can hear Harry off-camera mumbling ‘pretty in pink’. How sweet. Isn’t that special? Or is this just the latest frantic bid by Miss Markle to paper over the cracks of a fading dream that is beginning to look suspiciously like a full on nightmare.

“After the Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair unleashed extensive exposees of the Duchesses’ alleged bullying of staff, Variety has become the third highly respected publication to tell a torrid tale of dysfunctional disaster.”

He added: “A story with an unhappy ending as unable to offload 10 million dollars worth of unsold As Ever stock, exasperated Netflix bosses declared, ‘We’re done’ and ditched the Sussexes once and for all.”
