Prince Harry And Meghan Hit With Another Scathing Criticism Over Their 'Appetite For Money'

A biographer known for chronicling the life of Princess Diana has unleashed a new blistering critique of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Tina Brown branded the royal couple as "disaster tourists," taking a shot at their public outings and recent appearance at a relief center for the California wildfires.

She had previously criticized Meghan Markle for her Netflix cooking show and other new business ventures.

In a chat with The Telegraph, Brown issued another criticism of Meghan and Harry over what the couple have been up to since stepping down from being senior royals in 2020.

She claimed that the Duke of Sussex now longs for his royal life, where he once added a "sizzle" to the Firm.

"He really knows how to play the role of the prince," Brown told the news outlet about Harry. "I think he really likes it. That's what's so ironic. I think he really misses being a prince because he was good at it."

According to the former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief, the duke and duchess had a greater positive impact while operating under the royal umbrella than through anything they've done since stepping away from the monarchy.

She said, "He and Meghan talk about 'doing good,' but what good are they doing? The good you can do as a royal is so much more potent."

Following Harry and Meghan's departure from being senior royals, the duo got involved in a number of philanthropic ventures that kept them consistently in the spotlight.

This includes recent visits to countries like Nigeria and Colombia alongside their involvement in the Duke's Invictus Games. They also once had a bombshell interview with Oprah where they revealed several shocking pieces of information about the royal family.

Now, Brown believes that Harry and Meghan can no longer attract the same spotlight they did with their past appearances, referencing their visit to survivors of the California wildfires that occurred earlier in the year.

"You become a disaster tourist," Brown said of the duo. "I think Harry feels it keenly. But he's obviously loyal to his wife."

She further slammed the duo as having A large "appetite for money," which she claims led them to make "disastrous decisions," such as Prince Harry's "Spare" memoir and the infamous Oprah interview.

Previously, Brown slammed Meghan over her cooking show, "With Love, Meghan," and the former actress's approach to promoting her lifestyle brand, As Ever, per the New York Post.

Speaking about the show, Brown claimed it is proof that Meghan has an "unerring instinct for getting it wrong" and that she has "never figured out a convincing persona."

She also used sharply worded remarks when referencing Meghan's lifestyle brand.

"Who announces a new lifestyle brand, [As Ever], and hounds celebrity friends to talk up her strawberry jam on social media without doing due diligence on the availability of the trademark?" Brown questioned mockingly.

More recently, she blasted Meghan over releasing new business ventures almost at the same time.

"Her problem is just that she is so ADD. She just never stops making announcements and never really follows through," the former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief said on the Mixed Signals for Semafor Media podcast last Friday, per Daily Mail.

Harry and Meghan were recently spotted at The TIME100 Summit in New York City, but their arrival sparked more chatter than expected.

As they stepped out of their vehicle and prepared to head into the event, Harry reached out his hand toward Meghan, apparently hoping to walk in together.

However, Meghan seemed to miss the gesture entirely, leaving the duke standing awkwardly by her side.

She instead opted to hug a woman who had her arms outstretched and appeared to be waiting for the "Suits" star's arrival.

After the interaction, Meghan led the way into the event without waiting for Harry, leaving him to walk behind her.

During the event, she went on to heap praises on Harry for being a supportive partner, adding that she is the happiest she has ever been.

Meghan kicked off 2025 by returning to Instagram and shortly after announcing the release of her Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan."

The show was then followed by the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and recently, the debut of her new podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder."

With all these projects running simultaneously, Meghan has had a busy year, which she alluded to during her speech at the TIME100 summit.

"There were three projects that we were launching really at the same time. The past year-and-a-half has been incredibly busy and ambitious," the duchess said, per the Daily Mail.

She added, "Then you see it all come to life and try to give yourself the space and the grace to make mistakes, to know you're not doing it right every day."
