### Tina Brown Lashes Out at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in New Critique

Renowned royal author Tina Brown has launched a fierce critique against Meghan Markle and what she sees as the "naïve" nature of Prince Harry following their departure from royal duties. During her appearance on “The Ankler” podcast, the former Vanity Fair editor expressed strong opinions about the couple and the path they've taken since stepping back from the British monarchy.

"In England, they'll always have a career in criticizing Harry," said Brown, 70. "But the sad truth is, Harry is extremely talented at being a prince, which is essentially his primary skill... He's almost perfect in that role."

Brown was particularly harsh on the Duchess of Sussex, stating, "I think he's pretty much under Meghan's influence. The problem with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment possible... She’s flawless in getting everything wrong." The royal author accused Meghan of not listening to advice and following her own misguided ideas.

Reflecting on how the couple left the monarchy in 2020, Brown described Harry as "naïve and unschooled in the ways of the world." She noted that Harry’s time in the army had positively shaped him, but his marriage to Markle has led him astray. "He’s terribly impressed by Meghan, trusting her as a savvy Hollywood insider who would turn them into stars, but he followed her like a child."

Since their exit, Harry and Meghan have relocated to Montecito, California, where they are raising their two children. Despite the move, Prince Harry remains estranged from his royal family, including his brother Prince William and father King Charles III. Brown speculated about their future, stating, "She’s made every mistake in the book and has kind of run out of options. Harry could possibly make a comeback as he’ll always be Prince Harry, the grandson of the queen and son of Diana."

The couple has been notably vocal about their royal experiences since stepping down. In a high-profile 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, they shared their struggles with royal life. This was followed by a 2022 Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir, "Spare," which divulged personal details about his relationships with various family members.

Tina Brown has a history of critiquing the royal family, having penned "The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor - the Truth and the Turmoil," a book that delves into the scandals and power dynamics within the monarchy over the past two decades.

Representatives for Brown did not respond to requests for further comments.
