Meghan McCain has launched a scathing critique against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, referring to them as “D-list royals” following their announcement to return to the UK.
The former “View” co-host didn’t hold back, tweeting on Wednesday, “Americans have a knack for seeing through pretenses, and we’re not fond of entitled grifters.”
She continued, “They couldn’t cut it here, and honestly, no one cares about D-list royals. I wish our UK friends luck, as they are your issue now.”
Page Six contacted representatives for Markle and Harry for a statement, but no response has been received yet.
McCain has consistently been outspoken in her criticism of Harry and Markle, including her derision of the actress’s “boring” lifestyle rebranding efforts last year.
“This is, like, her ninth rebrand. I actually had to review her show and her podcast, and it was horrible. It was so boring,” the columnist, 41, added.
On Wednesday, Page Six confirmed that Harry, also 41, and Markle, 44, along with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will return to the UK at the end of the month for “an extended period.”
“The palace was made aware of the move,” a source confirmed to us, noting that Harry’s father, King Charles III, was informed on Sunday.
“I know that Charles is the reason they are moving back,” an insider told Page Six.
Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, are already enrolled in school in Britain.
Our source added that while Charles, who is currently battling cancer, “looks forward” to spending more time with the Sussexes in a personal capacity, their role and status as private individuals and “non-working members” of the royal family will not change.
The monarch is also strict about upholding his late mother Queen Elizabeth II’s rule of “no half-in, half-out option” for working royals.
The Netflix stars will live in “a non-royal residence,” where they will “continue with their business enterprises.”
The move back across the pond comes six years after Harry and Markle left the royal family and moved to Canada and then California.
Though the Invictus Games founder has been estranged from his family since the move, he and Charles have been making amends.
Last month, Harry and Markle and their kids reunited with Charles during their visit to the UK, marking the first time the king had seen his grandchildren in four years.
However, the Sussexes had no contact with Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton.
