In the wake of Harry\u2019s 40th birthday in September, he and former Suits star Meghan, 43, have been dogged by claims that their marriage has landed on shaky ground. While once seemingly inseparable, the pair have been notably carrying out more solo engagements.<\/p>\n But speculation surrounding the state of their six-year marriage is not all the Sussexes have had to contend with. With the imminent US election, questions have been raised about their future in the States if Donald Trump gets elected. After Harry confessed to trying drugs in his memoir Spare, questions have been raised over whether he disclosed this controversial information on his paperwork when entering America.<\/p>\n \u2018If he lied, they\u2019ll have to take appropriate action,\u2019 former president Trump previously said over the issue.<\/p>\n Whether that appropriate action is leaving America for good, the couple still continue to face intense public scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n \u2018Meghan\u2019s deeply affected by the negative public perception and every time she turns around it\u00a0seems\u00a0like there\u2019s another hit piece,\u2019 an insider shares.<\/p>\n And, with their A-list pals falling increasingly by the wayside \u2013 thought to include the Beckhams, Oprah Winfrey and George and Amal Clooney \u2013 some famous, non-acquaintances have had no qualms publicly bashing the former royals over the years.

She\u2019s flawless about getting it all wrong. All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.’<\/p>\n She went so far as to call Harry \u2018the lamb to the slaughter in this situation\u2019, adding, \u2018And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.\u2019<\/p>\n A source divulged to Closer how Tina\u2019s scathing narrative affected the Duchess of Sussex, saying, \u2018It was a shock and so hurtful, it felt like a punch in the gut. No matter what Meghan does, or doesn\u2019t do, it seems there\u2019s always a line-up of people ready to rip her to shreds.

She later clarified her opinions, explaining, \u2018Maybe it\u2019s because I feel a certain level of disappointment in the sense where I feel like they had an opportunity to become the most liked, loved people in the entire world that could actually bring some positive change.

According to the news host, he had a short-lived friendship with a pre-marriage Meghan \u2013 enjoying \u2018a couple of dirty martinis\u2019 with her at a London pub. However, after meeting Harry, she apparently ghosted the TV host, prompting him to label her \u2018a social climber\u2019. Still, it was in 2021 that things really soured when \u2013 in the wake of Harry and Meghan\u2019s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey \u2013 Piers said he \u2018didn\u2019t believe a word\u2019. After clashing with fellow\u00a0GMB\u00a0presenter Alex Beresford live on air, Piers stormed off camera and never returned to the show, later claiming, \u2018If I have to fall on my sword\u2026so be it.\u2019 In the years since his dramatic GMB walk-out, Piers has lambasted the couple on countless occasions, recently referring to them as \u2018two spoiled brat renegades who ditched royal duty and service for a life of self-enriching\u00a0Hollywood\u00a0glitz and glamour.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/GettyImages-2177587064.jpg” title_text=”2024 Glamour Women Of The Year” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Bethenny: Outspoken Housewife<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As one of The Real Housewives of New York City\u2019s<\/em> most vociferous alumnae, Bethenny Frankel\u2019s not afraid to start a rift \u2013 and she proved just as much in July 2023, when she lashed out at Harry and Meghan and their indelicate transition from working royals to Hollywood stars. \u2018How do you do every single thing wrong?\u2019 she railed, calling their highly publicised outbursts against the monarchy \u2018a botched job\u2019.
