Billionaire Leon Cooperman Criticizes Prince Harry & Meghan Markle: Calls for Consequences in New Interview

Billionaire investor and former hedge fund manager, Leon Cooperman, didn't mince words in a recent interview as he launched a scathing critique of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Cooperman's outspoken and controversial opinions were on full display during his conversation on CNBC's "Squawk Box." The discussion initially revolved around the state of the US economy and the stock market, but when asked about his views on Harry and Meghan, who have been making headlines for their lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, as well as their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Cooperman had no reservations in expressing his disdain.

Cooperman accused the royal couple of being "disgusting humans" and went so far as to suggest they should be imprisoned for their involvement in a charity scandal involving the Archewell Foundation. This nonprofit organization, founded by Harry and Meghan in 2020, raised over $13 million from donors in 2021. However, it has faced scrutiny for allegedly spending only a fraction of that amount on charitable causes, with the rest purportedly used for personal expenses and projects.

The billionaire investor expressed his shock and disgust at what he perceived as fraud and deception by the Sussexes, asserting that they had betrayed the trust of the public, the media, and even the royal family. Cooperman found particular outrage in the revelation that Archewell Foundation had received a $10 million donation from an anonymous source, which he speculated was either an unwitting donor or a friend of the couple.

Cooperman made a strong case for accountability, suggesting that the Sussexes should face legal consequences for their alleged charity fraud. He hoped that both authorities and donors would thoroughly investigate Archewell Foundation and demand greater transparency and accountability from Harry and Meghan.

Furthermore, Cooperman expressed his desire to see the royal family strip the Sussexes of their titles and privileges and sever all ties with them. He had little sympathy or respect for the couple, finding them lacking in integrity and credibility. He characterized them as self-serving, manipulative, and ungrateful, with no sense of responsibility or loyalty.

Regarding the Sussexes' public statements and allegations against the royal family and the British media, particularly in their interview with Oprah Winfrey, Cooperman found them unimpressive and unsubstantiated. He dismissed their entertainment and media projects as flops and failures, driven primarily by their royal status rather than any true talent or expertise.

Cooperman expressed his desire for the Sussexes to step away from the spotlight and cease their constant attention-seeking behaviors. He viewed them as a detriment to both the British monarchy and American society, branding them as a disgrace, a disaster, and an overall nuisance.
