Jeremy Kyle has reignited his feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – taking fresh aim at the Duke of Sussex in a new interview where he branded him “whipped” and labelled the couple’s Hollywood lifestyle “a complete joke”. Speaking on the Disruptors podcast with Rob Moore the former ITV presenter was asked directly: “Why don’t you like Meghan?” Kyle replied: “I didn’t say I didn’t like Meghan. I can see exactly where it will finish. He’ll be back in England and she’ll be in America with two kids.”
He added: “I just think that he was… the second word is whipped. Do you know what the first word is?” Jeremy said he initially supported the couple’s decision to step back from royal duties but slammed what came next. “I saluted them when they went ‘I don’t want to be in this goldfish bowl. I want to go and live in California. my kids’. I thought you know what fair play.
“And then you land in LA and you signed a $112 million deal with Spotify to basically intrude on every part of your life that you’ve just moaned and b*****d about you don’t want in the public eye – that doesn’t work does it? That’s a complete joke that really angered me.”
The post was shared on X as one supporter commented under the post: “It’s so pitiful to see a once popular Prince humiliated in front of the whole world, he can’t leave her because that’s admitting everyone was right, he’ll come home a broken man, I seriously worry about his mental health.”
It’s not the first time Kyle has taken aim at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He was challenged live on air in 2023 after suggesting Meghan Markle should be “thrown down a well”.
The TalkTV host, 59 – whose ITV show was axed in 2019 – made the remark during a discussion about the couple on The Talk, alongside royal commentators Kinsey Schofield and Emily Andrews.
Andrews had suggested that Meghan and Harry could put their platform to better use by doing charitable work in countries like South Africa, rather than speaking publicly about their treatment by the Royal Family.
She said: “If you really want to perform a service for charity, go to Lesotho, it is safe there. Go and build wells, build a school and go and teach English…”
Kyle interrupted: “Throw her down one.” Andrews pushed back: “No, no! Do not do that Jeremy Kyle.”
Kyle added that he believed Harry and Meghan were “taking the Mickey”.
