Meghan Markle's ex-bestie, Lizzie Cundy, has some choice words for her ex-actress friend and Prince Harry.

Cundy candidly told GBN's Nana Akua that the Duchess of Sussex is "trying to relaunch herself as a Gwyneth Paltrow type", and is "not reading the room," amid King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales' cancer diagnoses.

Lizzie Cundy has been critical of ex-friend Meghan Markle since she was 'ghosted' by the 'Suits' star.

"They've got these new Netflix shows about making jam and cookery and gardening, and there Harry's about polo playing, it's not really relatable," she added. "I think it's pretty insensitive when Catherine's going through what she's going through and the King is going through his cancer issues too, it's really insensitive, to be honest."

Akua chimed in with: "I do find it quite astonishing that they think that people won't look at this and think how ridiculous they are."

The former actress and her prince have not been in Britain together as a couple since Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral in September 2022. One palace insider stepped forward to reveal that "the long amount of time that has passed since the snob graced us with her presence will guarantee a media frenzy with her oaf" if Meghan joins her husband in May.

"It feels to me that they should realize how ridiculous they're coming across, how heartless and insensitive they look, but they don't appear to realize any of that," the news anchor added.

Cundy replied: "They never read the room, do they? They're so into themselves they can't see the wood for the trees. We've heard Meghan going on about the trolling and all the horrible comments and you just think, look at what you've actually done to poor Kate."

The Duchess of Sussex has been accused of 'not reading the room' by promoting her new business as King Charles and Princess Kate battle cancer.

The Suits star's ex-pal also added that Americans are "sick to death of her across the pond" and blasted her strawberry jam launch as "fake and phony".

"I don't think anyone will be interested at all. It's fake. It's phony. It's cheesy," she observed. "I think people are really seeing her for what she is. I think she should come out and actually apologize for what she's done to poor Kate, and maybe not be so insensitive."

"As Meghan is no longer part of the monarchy, she is free to launch her brand whenever she likes," PR expert Lynn Carratt dished. "However, given Kate's ongoing cancer treatments, it would be wise for Meghan to be sensitive to the timing of her brand launch, considering the public support for Kate worldwide."

This train of thought was also picked up on by Levin who stated: "And I think it's that extraordinary attitude that she knows better than anyone. She thinks of herself as globally... she's made a mess."
