David Letterman Delivers Hilarious Roast of Meghan Markle on His Return to Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert

The former host of "The Late Show," who retired in 2015, made a return to his old stage for an interview with his successor, Stephen Colbert. The two comedians engaged in a lively and humorous conversation covering various topics such as Letterman's Netflix series "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," his beard, and his retirement. However, the highlight of the night came when Letterman launched a scathing attack on Meghan Markle, the former actress turned royal, who has been embroiled in controversy and legal battles due to alleged lies and hypocrisy.

Letterman had been closely following the news about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who resigned from their royal duties last year and relocated to the US with their two children. The comedian, known for his sharp and sarcastic humor, expressed his dismay over the couple's behavior, especially their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they made serious allegations against the royal family, including racism and lack of support.

Letterman criticized Prince Harry for abandoning his family and country to join forces with Meghan Markle, whom he described as manipulative and selfish. He expressed his disappointment and disgust, stating that he had lost all respect for the prince, whom he once considered brave and honorable.

Turning his attention to Meghan Markle, Letterman accused her of using her royal status and marriage to Prince Harry for personal gain. He alleged that she had lied about various aspects of her life and had bullied and betrayed her staff, friends, and family. He mocked her lack of talent and charisma, stating that she had failed in her acting career, charity work, and royal role.

Letterman's tirade left Meghan Markle visibly shaken and angry as she watched from her mansion in Montecito, California. She declined an invitation to appear on Colbert's show, citing her busy schedule with her production company, Archewell, and her pregnancy with their third child. Meghan's snub was seen as a display of arrogance and cowardice, further fueling controversy surrounding the couple's departure from the royal family.

Colbert, who had attended Meghan and Harry's wedding in 2018 and interviewed them on his show in 2020, had previously praised them for their courage and honesty. However, Meghan Markle's late-night nightmare has intensified the controversy surrounding the couple's actions and statements since leaving the royal family and pursuing lucrative deals with media outlets like Netflix and Spotify. Their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, where they made serious allegations against the royal family, has also been criticized for disrespecting and damaging the monarchy.
