Why Meghan And Harry ‘Terrify’ British Royal Family

When commentary turns into cruelty and satire descends into slander, we lose the plot. The recent episode of What Just Happened, hosted by Kevin O’Sullivan, offered a blistering takedown of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Katy Perry, and trans rights activists—framed as comedy, but functioning as a vehicle for manufactured outrage. The performance wasn’t just mean-spirited; it was misleading, intellectually dishonest, and steeped in cultural insecurity masquerading as righteous indignation.

Let’s dismantle the talking points, one by one.

1. The “Empty Life” Trope
Prince Harry is repeatedly mocked as a man with “no purpose,” “nothing to do,” and “a brain cell rattling in his skull.” But this ignores his continued involvement in global mental health work, veterans’ causes, and litigation pushing back against unlawful media surveillance. When a man walks away from an institution that harmed his mother and wife to protect his children, that’s not purposelessness. That’s principle and he is happy.

2. The Book That Hasn’t Been Written
The outrage over a possible “Spare 2” is based on speculative fiction. No second memoir has been confirmed, no quotes released. Yet O’Sullivan’s panel accuses Harry of preparing a “literary temper tantrum.” Even if he were writing a sequel, isn’t he entitled to tell his story—especially after years of leaks, misrepresentations, and smears by the same royal press system he’s suing?

3. The Sentebale Smear
Dr. Sophie Chandauka’s allegations against Harry are wielded gleefully in the segment—but without any critical scrutiny. The hosts fail to mention that her accusations came after being removed from the charity’s leadership and amid scrutiny over financial mismanagement. The idea that Harry “stormed out” because she didn’t support Meghan is simplistic. The dispute is part of a larger breakdown over governance, not petty PR.

4. Misogyny Disguised as Branding Critique
Meghan’s business efforts are belittled as “digital jumble sales” and “spam jam.” But the same press that once mocked her for spending taxpayer money on royal duties now mocks her for earning her own. The hypocrisy is obvious: she’s criticized whether she works or doesn’t. Meanwhile, celebrity ventures by men—George Clooney’s tequila, Ryan Reynolds’ mobile service—are celebrated.

5. The Weaponization of “Common Sense”
The entire show paints its prejudice as “common sense.” But common sense doesn’t involve calling women “tacky,” reducing mental health to a joke, or mocking gender identity. It certainly doesn’t involve speculating on the end of someone’s marriage as if it were a football match. What’s happening here is not journalism, it’s bullying under the cloak of banter.

6. Selective Outrage and Hypocrisy
The same voices that demand women “support their husbands” mock Meghan for attending to her children and brand. The same people who demand family loyalty attack Harry for not silently enduring what he has said was systemic abuse. They cry foul over “wokeness” but celebrate political correctness when it suits them—like when redefining gender or sexuality aligns with their worldview.

What just happened? A show ridiculed trauma, belittled women’s choices, distorted facts, and used Meghan and Harry as a canvas for Britain’s unresolved tensions about race, class, tradition, and change. This wasn’t satire. It was targeted propaganda—humor as a hammer, wielded to silence dissent.

And Meghan and Harry? They’re still standing. Still speaking. Still choosing love, not vengeance.
