Dave Portnoy Joins Megyn Kelly to Weigh In on Meghan Markle and the Royal Family

Dave Portnoy Appears on The Megyn Kelly Show to Discuss Royals
In a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy joined host Megyn Kelly for a lively conversation about Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their ongoing rift with the British royal family.
Megyn Kelly Slams Meghan Markle, Again
Known for her harsh opinions on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back. She repeated controversial claims about Meghan Markle, including a bizarre allegation that Markle had a vision board featuring Prince Harry long before meeting him — a story Kelly attributes to someone close to Meghan’s ex-husband Trevor Engelson.
Even more outrageously, she joked that Meghan “killed the Queen,” prompting laughter from Portnoy, though he made it clear he didn’t share all of Kelly’s views.
Dave Portnoy Criticizes the Couple’s “Hypocrisy”
Though not as aggressive in tone as Kelly, Dave Portnoy didn’t hold back his criticism of Harry and Meghan, particularly regarding what he sees as contradictory behavior.
“I don't care for her… I wouldn’t say I hate her, but I don't like her,” Portnoy remarked.
The Barstool Sports founder also pointed out what he believes is hypocrisy in the couple’s repeated public criticism of the royal family — despite benefiting from their titles and legacy.
“I Like the Royals,” Portnoy Says
While distancing himself from Kelly's more extreme claims, Portnoy made it clear where his loyalty lies.
“Yeah, I’m a royals guy. I like the royals. I think it’s kind of cool. The history, the pageantry.”
His remarks reflect a growing divide in American media coverage of the Sussexes — with some seeing them as victims, while others view them as opportunistic.
Final Thoughts: Public Opinions on Meghan Remain Deeply Split
The conversation between Megyn Kelly and Dave Portnoy is just the latest example of how Meghan Markle continues to polarize public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic.
Whether it's criticism over her media appearances, royal fallout, or personal branding, Meghan and Harry remain hot topics in public discourse — and show no signs of fading from the spotlight anytime soon.
