LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The wildfires in Los Angeles have caused massive destruction and have engulfed several houses. Many celebs have come up to help the victims but it seems like people are still going to be critical of others in this testing time.

Journalist Megyn Kelly was not far behind in taking jabs at Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry for their wildfire relief effort during a new episode of her podcast.

Megyn Kelly slams Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Megyn Kelly was quick to slam the pair for their actions after Fox 11 Los Angeles aired footage of the couple handing out food and hugging people in a relief effort, according to OK Magazine.

Kelly called them "absolute cretins" who decided to "interject themselves into the devastation in Los Angeles." She accused them of doing so to "get their faces back on camera" and "improve their image."

She explained on 'The Megyn Kelly Show', "They want people to think well of them. So they decide, 'You know what they really need? Us. What they need is us'."



 

Moreover, Kelly called it a publicity stunt and pointed out that Prince Harry and Meghan "made sure they got on camera" and "their names got in the press."

She continued, "That was the name of the game. When you're actually a member of the royal family, Harry, and the British population answers to you [sort of] they're your subjects, maybe they do need to see you during times of tragedy."

Kelly added, "You're in America now, and we don't give a s*** about you. You're not our f***** prince. You'll never be king. We hate your wife. Stay at home in your $29 million mansion. All right? Stop getting off on the trauma p** of real suffering in Los Angeles. It's ridiculous. It's offensive. And don't take my word for it, go and follow the X feed of our friend Justine Bateman, who just went off on these 'Disaster Tourists'."

Megyn Kelly refers to Meghan Markle's tell-all interview from 2021

Further in the podcast, Megyn Kelly brutally slammed Meghan Markle while referring to her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. She said, "The Queen's husband was dying and she went on Oprah and suggested one or both of them are raging racists."

She continued, "She couldn't have cared less. She doesn't care about anyone other than herself, and I include Harry in that. She cares about her image. That's why she's there."

Kelly went on to suggest that the couple could have made "a donation" or participated in an existing GoFundMe. She said, "You don't have to fly there and inject yourself right in the heart of it on camera, where you know you'll become the story."

Kelly added, "She did the same thing after Uvalde. She flew down there and made sure she got on camera when kids had just died at the hands of a shooter. This is a pattern for her. It’s not about charity, it’s about her image."

Justine Bateman calls Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'disaster tourists'

Hollywood actress turned producer Justine Bateman slammed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for what she believed to be an insensitive “photo op” at an evacuation center for victims amid LA wildfires, according to the New York Post.

Bateman wrote on X, "Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive ‘photo op’ they achieved."



 

She asked, "They are 'touring the damage'?" referring to media footage she had reposted on the social platform. She added, "Are they politicians now? They don’t live here; they are tourists. Disaster Tourists."

Speaking to Jesse Watters on January 10, Bateman said she was “pretty p****d” with the state of her city.

She said, "If you’re going to run a city, or run a state, you have to take care of the basics. And that’s [to] make sure that your fire and police department[s] are well funded."
