Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown’s frank verdict on Meghan Markle: ‘She’s flawless about getting it all wrong’

Former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Tina Brown has shared her honest opinion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with the journalist claiming Meghan Markle has the ‘worst’ judgement.

Brown appeared 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’, took the opportunity to give her honest opinion about the former working royals.

“The problem with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the world,” the author said on Min’s podcast.

“She’s flawless when it comes to doing it all wrong,” Brown ranted. “All her ideas are unfortunately nonsense.”

Princess Diana’s biographer and 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 basically followed her blindly like a child,” she said.

Brown is no stranger to dishing dirt on the royal family. Her most recent book, The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil, was published in 2022.

In 2007 she published the biographical work The Diana Chronicles.

In 2022, the author said the couple made “poor choices” and could have left the royal family on much better terms if they weren’t so “hot-headed” when they made the decision to step away from their roles as working royals.

The author also branded Prince Harry a ‘very tempestuous man’ and revealed how Palace advisers ‘always thought he was going to leave’.

She said she was told this was because “he was so vulnerable and so combustible and, frankly, so unhappy in the confines of the royal family.”

However, she also noted that the couple’s departure from royal life was a “disaster all around.”

Brown posted her first Substack last week, describing the content as a platform to “unload my observations, rants, news obsessions, and human exchanges with the wildly eclectic cast of characters that populate my seething inbox.”

Brown said the couple’s departure from royal life was “an absolute disaster.”

“The problem with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the world,” the author said on Min’s podcast

Harry and Meghan have bought a house in the Alentejo region of Portugal, not far from the home of his cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank

California-based Meghan and Harry were recently in the news after being evicted from their Windsor cottage by King Charles and left without a home in Britain.

Last week, the Mail’s Richard Eden revealed that the couple have bought a house in the Alentejo region of Portugal, not far from a home owned by Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Their purchase might also have been facilitated by Jack – once a bartender at the Admiral Codrington pub in Chelsea, west London, and later an employee at Harry’s favorite Mahiki nightclub – who now works in marketing and sales for CostaTerra Golf and Ocean. Club, a luxury development of 300 properties by the sea, with a golf course, spa and riding school.

He, Eugenie, 34, and their sons, August, three, and Ernest, 16 months, live locally and split their time between Britain and Portugal.
