Despite many people claiming that they’ve been unjustly criticized or put through the wringer by the British press, the Twitter mob, or even other members of the British royal family, there are just as many people calling them out for being “fake” or “attention-seekers”. Perhaps never more so than immediately following the release of their Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan.

“I get Prince Harry being pissed off at the monarchy for his mother. They treated her like s**t,” Stern admitted before adding, “So you got my empathy there. But Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘Wah wah wah, and they don’t like me’ — and [Meghan] wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man.”

It is just so horribly disrespectful and just a whine fest. I mean, is [Harry’s] book going to be the same thing?” Osbourne said to Morgan.
She went on to say, “You know what? You have a great life, you have a beautiful family, and you are so much in love. Move on. Get a life and move on.”
