<p id=”par-1_54″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/wendy-williams/”>Wendy Williams</a> never held back when it came to her opinions about celebrities. So it was no surprise in 2019 when she blasted Meghan Markle for complaining about royal life on the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-wendy-williams-show-confirms-guest-hosts-for-march-2022-as-sherri-shepherd-gets-ready-to-take-over.html/”><em>Wendy</em> Show</a>. On the heels of Meghan sharing how difficult being a royal was, Williams clapped back, “Nobody feels sorry for you.”</p>

<p id=”par-2_26″>In 2019, Meghan Markle spoke to ITV for the <em>Harry & Meghan: An African Journey </em>documentary. There, she confessed to having trouble acclimating to royal life.</p>
<p id=”par-3_51″>“When I first met Harry, my friends were so excited. My US friends were happy because I was happy,” Meghan said. “But my British friends, they were sure he was lovely, but they said I shouldn’t do it because ‘The British tabloids will destroy your life.’ I just didn’t get it.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_36″>After playing that clip, Williams weighed in on Meghan’s statements in a video clip published by <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-2032918/Video-feels-sorry-Wendy-Williams-drags-Meghan-Markle.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Mail</a>. “Meghan, nobody feels sorry for you,” Williams stated. “You knew what you were signing up for, girl!”</p>
<p id=”par-5_45″>“Yes, you did. You knew exactly what you were doing,” the former talk show host said on an episode of <em>Wendy</em>. “And I applaud her plot-ation on the royal situation. But please, don’t try to garner sympathy from us. You knew what you were doing.”</p>

She claimed the Duchess of Sussex once tried to get a job on Williams’ talk show.</p>
<p id=”par-7_22″>“Confidentially speaking, I respect Meghan Markle’s hustle, and I respect her game,” Williams said. “However, she’s a bit of a wild card.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_36″>“You know, because she goes from being the <em>Deal Or No Deal</em> girl — oh, yes! She opened the suitcases for, what’s his name? Howie Mandel. So, this girl is looking for fame, you guys, OK?”</p>
<p id=”par-9_23″>That was when Williams claimed Meghan once applied for work on the <em>Wendy</em> Show. However, she wasn’t specific about just when Meghan applied.</p>
<p id=”par-10_29″>“And remember the story here at <em>Wendy.</em> She came here, to <em>Wendy</em>, to find out what she could do here,” she said. “So she’s been here,” Williams concluded. </p>
<p id=”par-11_31″>“She’s been in our buildings; We have her DNA… And then she’s the actor, you know, from <em>Suits</em>, and she’s giving it up. But just keep in mind, she’s an <em>act</em>-ress.”</p>

Wendy Williams Walks Back On Her Previous Comments About Meghan Markle: ‘It’s Them Against the World’ </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-12_45″>Throughout Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s tenure as senior royals, Wendy Williams regularly spoke about the couple as part of the Hot Topics segment of her <em>Wendy</em> Show. While the official YouTube channel for the now-canceled series no longer exists, fans have archived some episodes.</p>
<p id=”par-13_26″>“I told you when they got married, it was gonna go down,” Williams said in a <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWgxx0fJrBY” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>show clip</a>. “Now it’s going down, and people are shocked.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_25″>“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-played-victim-wanted-out-royal-family-from-start.html/”>step away from the royals</a>. Who wouldn’t?” she asked. “However, I think the social media post was wrong.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_20″>Williams believed the couple could have just quietly left. She didn’t think the couple should have consulted “grandmama [Queen Elizabeth].”</p>
<p id=”par-16_40″>The media personality also claimed that Meghan had Harry “hook, line, and sinker.” She also alleged in the clip that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-meghan-markle-secret-split-revealed.html/”>Harry wanted to split</a> from royal family for years but was waiting for the right woman to facilitate his wishes.</p>
<p id=”par-17_27″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/wendy-williams-health-personal-problems-explained-graves-disease-divorce-financial-woes.html/”>Wendy Williams’ health struggles</a> were documented in the Lifetime limited series <em>Where is Wendy Williams</em>. She has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).</p>
