Lizzie Cundy, an English socialite, expressed her astonishment when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior members of the royal family in 2020. According to her, Meghan, known for her role in the TV show Suits, was not interested in the "hard work" that accompanies being a member of the royal family, finding it lacking in excitement.
Cundy shared her reaction with Fox News, saying, "To be honest, I was quite shocked at that. It's a privilege to be part of this royal family. She knew what she was getting into before she married Harry."
Cundy continued, expressing her belief that Meghan found the royal lifestyle too demanding and less glamorous than Hollywood. She lamented Meghan's decision to leave, remarking that she had the potential to become the next Princess Diana, and considered it a wasted opportunity.
The former friend of the Duchess also criticized Meghan for incessantly discussing their family since leaving the royal fold. Cundy predicted that more books and interviews would follow, describing it as disloyal and suggesting that Meghan and Harry were attempting to undermine the monarchy, while emphasizing the love and support for the royal family in the UK.
Nevertheless, Cundy maintained that the couple, now residing in California, could rehabilitate their image. However, she acknowledged that it would be challenging given their numerous criticisms and attacks on the royal family.
