The former Vanity Fair editor appeared on The Ankler podcast with Janice Min
She said that Meghan Markle’s ideas are ‘total crap’ and she ‘gets it all wrong’
Former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Tina Brown has shared her honest opinions about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with the journalist alleging that Meghan Markle has the ‘worst’ judgment.
Brown appeared on The Ankler podcast with Janice Min to promote Brown’s new Substack newsletter, Fresh Hell.
The journalist, who famously described Megxit as a ‘disaster’ and accused the couple of being ‘addicted to drama,’ used the opportunity to share her honest opinion on the former working royals.
‘The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world,’ the author said on Min’s podcast,
‘She’s flawless about getting it all wrong,’ Brown ranted. ‘All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.’
Princess Diana‘s biographer and the author of The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor – The Truth And The Turmoil, described Harry as ‘the lamb to the slaughter in this situation.’
‘And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really,’ she said.
Brown posted her first Substack last week, describing the platform as a way to ‘unload my observations, rants, news obsessions, and human exchanges with the wildly eclectic cast of characters who populate my seething inbox.’ Her first post featured a scathing rant about Donald Trump and his run for president, describing her ‘mounting panic’ as the election date draws closer.
In 2007, she released biographical work The Diana Chronicles.
In 2022, the author said the couple made ‘bad choices’ and could have left the royal family on far better terms if they weren’t as ‘hotheaded’ when they made the decision to step back from their roles as working royals.
The author also labeled Prince Harry a ‘very impetuous man’ and revealed how Palace advisors ‘always thought he would leave’.
She said she was told it was because ‘he was so fragile, so combustible, he was so unhappy, frankly, in the constraints of the royal family’.
However, she also noted that the couple’s exit from royal life was a ‘disaster all round’.

California-based Meghan and Harry were in headlines recently after they were evicted from their cottage at Windsor by King Charles and left without a home in the UK.
Last week it revealed by the Mail’s Richard Eden that the couple have bought a home in the region of Alentejo, Portugal, not far from one owned by Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
Their purchase could also, perhaps, have been facilitated by Jack – once a barman at the Admiral Codrington pub in Chelsea, West London, and later an employee at Harry’s favorite nightclub Mahiki – who now works in marketing and sales for the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a luxury development of 300 properties by the sea, with a golf course, spa and equestrian center.
He, Eugenie, 34, and their sons, August, three, and Ernest, 16 months, live on site and divide their time between the UK and Portugal.
