Bethenny Frankel is talking about Meghan Markle hours before her interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday.
The reality show star took to Twitter to criticize the Duchess of Sussex in the midst of an increasingly toxic public relations battle between her, her husband, Prince Harry, and the royal family. Frankel did not hesitate to notice that she did not sympathize with Markle’s complaints about life as a noble.
“Cry a river … the situation of being a game show host, quite an unknown actress, suffering in a palace, w tiaras and 7-figure weddings for TWO YEARS to be a familiar name w @Oprah on speed dial, attractive 7 million for interviews, hundreds of millions in business with the media, ” she wrote on a collage of headlines about the Duchess.
The star was referring to Meghan’s previous career as an actress in “Deal or No Deal” and “Suits” before becoming a member of the royal family after marrying Harry. She also mentioned the reported $ 7 million that CBS paid to broadcast the potentially lucrative interview.

In response to a fan noting that Frankel should leave Harry out of danger because he was born in real life and lost his mother, the reality show star agreed.
“I give Harry a break. This is not the way to generate less press and cannot be archived under the pretext of wanting privacy to avoid repeating previous events,” she wrote. “If you hate me for saying this here, don’t listen to my podcast #justbwithbethenny, it is full of my opinion.”
Frankel concluded his thoughts on Twitter hours later, noting that she too lived under intense public scrutiny, but understands that she has decided to invite this into her life.
“I chose reality TV, to work towards earning $, to be examined and criticized. I took the traps and beatings with it. It is a rose with petals and thorns. People beg to enter the institution, which is often toxic in which I signed up for. That was the life I chose. You can’t be stupid and smart, ” she wrote Sunday.
The meeting with Winfrey is a chance for the couple to explain what led them to abandon real life, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media. A book about their departure, “Finding Freedom,” also claims that royals had little respect for Meghan, a former biracial actor, and that courtiers treated her badly.

Pre-released clips have already shown Prince Harry talking about his fears that history will repeat itself after his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car accident while being chased by paparazzi. In another clip from the interview, Winfrey asks Markle how she feels about the palace “to hear you speak your truth today?”
“I don’t know how they could expect that, after all this time, we would still be silent if there was an active role that the company is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” replies the Duchess.

“The firm” is a nickname given to the royal family, sometimes used with affection, sometimes with a tone of criticism.
In another pre-released clip, Markle told Winfrey how “liberating” it was to have a conversation with the television host without the collaboration of real monitors.

Actual interviews that are not tied to a specific topic are rare, and previous television sessions are often problematic. Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC interview about his connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led to his own departure from royal duties after he failed to show empathy for Epstein’s victims.
