Meghan Markle has been chastised for her “lack of marketability,” claiming that she “wouldn’t have been popular” if it hadn’t been for Prince Harry.

Meghan’s prominence was increased tenfold when she married into the Royal Family, according to royal journalist Lee Cohen.

He further rebuked the duo for their attitude of the monarchy and for openly criticising The Firm in order to obtain “notoriety.”

“They’ve earned my disdain because they’ve handled Harry’s family extremely horribly in all of this,” Mr Cohen told Express.co.uk. I don’t think it’s helpful for them to criticise the Royal Family.”

“They got what they wished for. They took a step back because they were already well-known.

“They would never have had the degree of attention that she has now if she hadn’t married into this family.”
