You Won’t Believe What Meghan Markle’s Dad Is Saying About Her Now

Meghan Markle’s father is at it again; i.e., trashing his daughter in the press in order to get her to talk to him. (We don’t know how he thought that was a good idea, either!) Thomas Markle has slammed his 40-year-old daughter’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired Thursday, November 18th, saying it involved “stupid stunts” and insisted that her actions “embarrassed everyone in the UK.”

Talking to The Sunday Mirror about the Duchess of Sussex’s appearance on the show – in particular the pranks she played on some vendors on the Warner Bros. lot when she received commands from the 63-year-old comedian via a hidden earpiece – the 77-year-old former lighting director said: “It’s no way to behave. The whole thing was kind of embarrassing. It was certainly embarrassing for the Royal Family.”

“It’s embarrassing for her as well. I suspect it embarrassed everyone in the UK, too,” he continued. “She’s putting herself out there as a duchess but I’ve never seen a duchess behave this way, doing stupid stunts.”

Some of the pranks Meghan pulled on the unsuspecting vendors, under Ellen’s instructions, included shoving a whole chip into her mouth and devouring it “like a chipmunk,” holding a crystal to her head and chanting while telling the vendor, “I have healing powers. Can you feel my powers?” and even pulling out a baby bottle from her purse and sucking on it. At one point, while tasting some hot sauce, Meghan was also told to say, “Let mommy taste some. My boo (Harry) loves hot sauce,” before being told to jump up and down excitedly in anticipation for the hot sauce.
