No matter what Meghan Markle does or does not do, she somehow ends up in the headlines. From the Duchess of Sussex’s fashion choices to family dynamics, the world seems obsessed with dissecting her every move. And while many critics have weighed in on her actions over the years, few were as blunt as Sharon Osbourne. The former talk show host did not mince words back in 2021-2022 when speaking about the actress turned royalty, and her unapologetic stance remains one of the most talked-about to this day.

What Sharon Osbourne once said about Meghan Markle still raises eyebrows. What is it that she said?

It was in 2021 when Sharon Osbourne first faced backlash for sounding off against Meghan Markle while defending her longtime friend Piers Morgan’s criticism of her on CBS's The Talk. She insisted that Morgan was not racist for doubting the Suits alum’s accusations against the royal family. A few months after the on-air discourse, Osbourne revisited her stance in a Fox Nation documentary titled Sharon Osbourne: To Hell and Back. Speaking about the documentary, she told Newsweek that Markle is “hardly a victim,” arguing that her actions do not align with the narrative she has presented.

Sharon Osbourne told the outlet then that, though she had never met Meghan Markle in her life, she was aware of the fact that Markle mixes only with those with a “certain bank balance.” According to Osbourne, Markle actively moved in circles having the wealthiest people from the industry, and hence she cannot be billed as a victim of anything, let alone being a victim of the royal family. While controversies seem to be surrounding the Sussexes left and right at all times, there is speculation swirling about a possible reconciliation between Prince Harry and his clan.

Could Prince Harry bring his family back to the UK after years abroad? His longing for home may not be enough.

The Daily Mail recently reported that senior aides representing both King Charles and Prince Harry convened for discreet talks in London earlier this month. The publication described the move as the clearest indicator yet of a political thaw between both parties engaged in a cold war since 2020. The informal gathering had no set agenda, according to insiders, but the pictures confirming a meet that filtered into the media were enough to cause a stir.

An alternative angle to the story is that royal experts say there would be no reconciliation in the royal family unless Prince William approves of it, and the possibility of that happening is meager. Prince Harry notably wrote about an altercation with his brother turning violent in his memoir Spare, and that reportedly exacerbated the siblings’ relationship to an extent of no return. So, while whispers of a royal reunion grow louder, the road to peace may be more complicated than it seems. And with comments of experts coming in about the Sussexes every other day, not in the bright light like Sharon Osburne's, tensions around the royal narrative show no signs of cooling off.
