"I think they are the biggest frauds in the world," he said. Chalamet went on to criticize the couple's portrayal of themselves as victims, asserting that they were actually exploiting their fame and privilege for their own agenda. According to him, they were lying to the public and themselves. The actor expressed his appall at Megan's self-portrayal as a humanitarian and feminist, labeling her a bully and a diva who mistreated her staff and alienated her family. "She is the opposite of everything she pretends to be," he added. "She is not a humanitarian; she is a hypocrite. She is not a feminist; she is a narcissist. She is not a duchess; she is a disgrace."
Chalamet also mocked Megan's claims of feeling suicidal during pregnancy and the royal family's discussions about Archie's skin color. He called these claims the "most ridiculous and outrageous things" he had ever heard, accusing her of playing the victim card and manipulating emotions. He criticized her use of her son as a prop and weapon, disrespecting the queen and the institution she married into.
The actor expressed no sympathy for Megan and Harry, accusing them of greed and selfishness for signing lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify while complaining about privacy and security. "They are the worst kind of opportunists and traders," he stated. Chalamet's comments sparked heated reactions on social media, with fans and critics clashing over his remarks. Some praised his honesty and courage, while others slammed him for rudeness and ignorance.
One Twitter user wrote, "Timothy Chalamet is my hero. He said what we are all thinking - Meghan Markle is a liar and a fraud; she deserves to be exposed and shamed." Another countered, "Timothy Chalamet is a jerk. He has no idea what he is talking about. Meghan Markle is a brave and inspiring woman; she deserves to be respected and supported."
The controversy is likely to boost the ratings and buzz for Dune Part Two, set to hit theaters on March 1st. The sci-fi epic, directed by Denis Villeneuve, features an all-star cast, including Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, and Christopher Walken. While Meghan and Harry have not responded to Chalamet's comments, sources close to them reportedly mentioned being hurt and disappointed, considering legal action against him for defamation.
