Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have recently faced harsh criticism from actress Justine Bateman. Bateman's new comments about the couple have drawn attention, especially following an interview on Piers Morgan's YouTube channel, "Piers Morgan Uncensored." In the conversation, Bateman didn't hold back, offering a scathing response to the couple's actions.
The controversy began when Meghan and Harry responded to accusations about their involvement in the California wildfires. A representative for the couple briefed Page Six about their involvement, emphasizing Meghan's deep emotional connection to Los Angeles and her commitment to volunteering before the media caught wind of it. In response to this, Bateman sharply dismissed their actions, saying, “I don’t know who these people are,” echoing the famous Mariah Carey moment. She was not impressed by the couple’s PR strategy surrounding the fire disaster, describing their actions as tone-deaf and inappropriate, particularly as they were seen walking over potentially human remains during their public appearances.
Bateman’s criticism continued as she compared Meghan and Harry’s handling of the wildfire disaster to their behavior during the Invictus Games. She suggested that, much like at the Games, Meghan and Harry were more focused on drawing attention to themselves than actually helping the people affected. She went on to label them as "narcissistic" for seemingly diverting attention from those who were truly in need.
The situation intensified as Harry was recently photographed with first responders and therapy dogs involved in the wildfire relief efforts. While some may have seen it as an effort to highlight the relief work, Bateman and others believe it only served to center the spotlight on Harry himself. They argue that his actions didn’t contribute to the cause in any meaningful way and instead detracted from the efforts of those actually working on the ground.
The controversy surrounding Meghan and Harry’s actions has continued to escalate, with Bateman's savage comments adding fuel to the fire. Bateman's pointed remarks questioning whether the couple had been walking over human remains during their PR stunt underscore the deep disdain some people have for the Sussexes’ approach to such sensitive matters.
As the couple faces ongoing criticism, many are questioning the true impact of their involvement in charitable efforts. Bateman’s latest comments, while brutal, resonate with many who feel that Meghan and Harry are prioritizing their own image rather than helping the people who need it most.
