Before her marriage to Prince Harry, Markle, known for her controversial views and actions, criticized Griffin for ending her marriage on what would have been her fourth wedding anniversary. Reportedly, Markle called Griffin a quitter, a loser, and a disgrace to women for opting to terminate her relationship. She also apparently referenced Griffin's notorious photo scandal involving a fake severed head of former President Donald Trump, suggesting that Griffin was seeking attention and lacked talent. Markle further advised Griffin to disappear and cease embarrassing herself.
Griffin, who is familiar with controversy herself, responded with no restraint. She took to Twitter to address Markle, labeling her a hypocrite and a liar. Griffin pointed out that it was Markle who abandoned her royal duties and relocated to the United States with Prince Harry, leaving her family and responsibilities behind. Griffin accused Markle of fabricating stories and portraying herself as a victim to garner sympathy and fame.
Challenging Markle to provide evidence or witnesses supporting her claims of racism, bullying, and mental health issues within the royal family, Griffin defended her choice to divorce Bick, describing it as a mutual and amicable decision. Griffin emphasized her ongoing love and respect for Bick, asserting that they remained on good terms.
Regarding her controversial photo scandal, Griffin characterized it as political satire and an exercise of free speech. She expressed no remorse, highlighting her determination to stand up to Trump and his supporters, despite encountering death threats, harassment, and censorship for her artistic expression.
In a final jab at Markle, Griffin suggested that it was Markle who should withdraw and refrain from embarrassing herself, branding her as inauthentic and lacking credibility or integrity. Griffin deemed Markle a disgrace to women for allegedly betraying her royal family and her country while disseminating what Griffin perceived as falsehoods and negativity.
Griffin and Bick, who surprised many with their New Year's Eve 2019 wedding, have maintained relative privacy concerning their divorce. They have not disclosed the specific reasons behind their separation or discussed the details of their settlement or their current relationship status.
Meanwhile, Markle and Harry, who recently released a Netflix documentary series about their lives, have faced criticism and backlash from various celebrities and media outlets. They have been accused of being self-centered, complaining excessively, and displaying hypocrisy for departing from the royal family and pursuing their own interests. Additionally, they have been challenged to provide evidence supporting their allegations of racism, bullying, and mental health issues within the royal family.
