Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Face Criticism in Wake of Obama Snub

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have come under fire from GB News presenter Patrick Christies, who suggested that the couple's popularity has taken a hit in celebrity circles.

In a heated monologue on GB News' To The Point segment, Christies criticized Meghan and Harry for lecturing the public on anti-racism and climate change.

He also pointed out that the couple had not been invited to former US President Barack Obama's 60th birthday celebrations, suggesting that the snub may be a sign of waning support for the couple.

Christies asked, “Are Meghan and Harry now a busted flush?”

He went on to say that used to be just below the Queen in terms of royal popularity and was once considered the “nation's sweetheart.”

However, he suggested that the tide has turned and that it will be shedding tears soon.

Christies noted that the Obamas, who were once great allies of Harry's, have apparently shunned him and Meghan, choosing instead to side with William and Kate.

The reason for the Obamas' snub is unclear, but Christies suggested that they may have realized that the public does not appreciate being lectured on climate change by a couple who have been on more private jets than most people have had hot dinners.

He also referenced the infamous photo of Prince Harry wearing a Nazi costume and suggested that the public does not like being lectured on tolerance and anti-racism by someone who has made such a mistake in the past.

The criticism of Meghan and Harry is not limited to GB News, however.

Australian Today host Karl Stefanovic recently made a dig at the Duke of Sussex on The Breakfast Show.

When his co-host mentioned that Global Citizen founder Hugh Evans had worked with Prince Harry, Stefanovic interrupted her with a pained look on his face and said, “Prince Harry?”

He then started laughing.

His co-host replied, “Well, once upon a time, you would have liked Prince Harry on speed dial.”

Stefanovic has made other harsh comments about Harry in the past, particularly regarding his upcoming memoir.

Last month, he suggested that the book may be more Meghan's story than Harry's and that the Prince was using his wife's words to write it.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been in the headlines around the world this year as they shared shocking details about their reasons for quitting the royal family last year.

During their Oprah interview in March, Harry spoke about feeling trapped within the firm and unable to develop s**ual intercourse with another woman.

He also revealed that he had recently beaten his wife.

Despite the criticism, Meghan and Harry continue to be popular with many people around the world.

They have used their platform to advocate for causes such as mental health and women's rights, and they have been praised for their charitable work.

However, it remains to be seen how the recent criticism will affect their popularity in the long term.

In conclusion, and Prince Harry are facing criticism from various sources in the wake of their absence from Barack Obama's 60th birthday celebrations.

While some continue to support the couple, others have criticized them for lecturing the public on issues such as anti-racism and climate change.

It remains to be seen how this criticism will affect their popularity in the long term.
