Meghan Markle is being chastised for criticizing the British royal family, with a former US political adviser arguing that she has no right to criticize the family who helped her become famous.

Lee Cohen criticized Meghan Markle for turning on her husband Prince Harry’s family after they made her famous in an interview with Express UK. He even claimed that if the Duchess of Sussex hadn’t married the prince, she would have never been a household name.

“They’ve earned my scorn because they’ve treated Harry’s family very poorly… I don’t feel that it’s at all productive for them to be criticizing the Royal Family,” he said.

Cohen, an expert on Anglo-American matters, also stated: “They got what they wanted so it is not right for them to be criticizing the royal family… They stepped back; they have the notoriety already.”

Earlier, Cohen labeled Markel ‘laughable’ for sharing her views on the Afghanistan crisis, saying that her only credentials are as an actor, which means “she has zero subject matter expertise and can only offer her feelings on issues.”
