Megyn Kelly Tears Into Harry and Meghan's Disaster Tour
Megyn Kelly is back at it, and this time, her sharp critique is aimed squarely at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The self-styled champions of compassion and frequent purveyors of publicity stunts have landed in Kelly's crosshairs after their recent visit to wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles.
On *The Megyn Kelly Show*, the fiery host didn’t hold back, calling out the Sussexes for turning a devastating crisis into what she dubbed a “photo op.”
With Los Angeles battling raging wildfires, Harry and Meghan made their way to the disaster zone. But rather than arriving with meaningful donations or hands-on aid, they came armed with a camera crew and staged photo ops.
“Absolute cretins,” Kelly snapped during her segment, accusing the pair of using the tragedy as a publicity ploy. “They interjected themselves into the devastation in Los Angeles to get their faces back on camera,” she said, adding that their efforts seemed more focused on optics than genuine charity.
And Kelly wasn’t finished. “What they [the wildfire victims] need is support—not a publicity stunt,” she declared.
Kelly also brought up Meghan’s controversial visit to Uvalde, Texas, following the tragic school shooting in 2022. At the time, Meghan was criticized for what many called a self-serving display.
“This is a pattern,” Kelly argued. “It’s not about charity—it’s about her image.”
Her solution? Stay home and donate. “If they really wanted to help, they could make a donation or support a GoFundMe,” Kelly suggested. “They don’t need to inject themselves into the story.”
But staying out of the spotlight has never been the Sussexes’ strong suit. Instead of quiet generosity, Kelly described their actions as “one of the most shameless PR stunts ever.”
The backlash has been fierce. Local celebrities, many of whom have been quietly volunteering and donating, reportedly found the Sussexes’ approach cringeworthy.
“Imagine losing your home and being handed a bottle of water by Meghan Markle while cameras flash,” one observer remarked. “If that doesn’t make you cringe, nothing will.”
Kelly took the criticism further, delivering a verbal gut punch to Harry:
“You are in America now. We don’t give a damn about you. You’re not our prince. You’ll never be king. And we hate your wife. Stay at home.”
Ouch.
Social media didn’t hold back either, with users blasting the couple’s actions as tone-deaf and opportunistic.
“If I had lost my home and was confronted by Meghan trying to give me a bottle of water, I think I’d slap her in the face,” one angry commenter wrote. Another simply labeled the couple “persistently disgusting.”
As the Sussexes remain silent amidst the uproar, one thing is clear: their wildfire relief efforts have ignited more controversy than goodwill.
Hollywood’s elite don’t take kindly to PR stunts at their expense—especially during a crisis so close to home. And with Kelly’s blistering critique amplifying the backlash, the Sussexes may have set their own goodwill ablaze.
The takeaway? It might be time for Harry and Meghan to rethink their approach, because if this wildfire relief stunt is any indication, their pursuit of relevance may be burning bridges faster than the wildfires themselves.
