Despite Meghan Markle’s enthusiasm, Mr McCain accused the duchess of being out of step. “I was originally a supporter of Meghan Markle. I thought she was cool, stylish and refreshing. Like the rest of the world, when she disrespected the royal family, my opinion changed. Now she wants to be an American again instead of a British aristocrat, but what she forgets is that Americans want something authentic, raw, and uncensored.” nuked the Duchess.
“All of this, even in the trailers, is highly curated, produced, and out of line. Two terrorist attacks in two days, a major war raging, and Americans running low on groceries. We can’t pay the price. We’re a country in a state of anger, uncertainty, and intensity.”
