"The Duchess of Sussex, in this case, is absorbing nearly all of the body blows from American right-wingers, Fox News personalities, and steadfast Trumpists—mainly for the mixed-race former television actress' revelation of prejudice among her relatives-by-marriage (although the virulent racism of Queen Elizabeth's first cousin-by-marriage, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ten-most-outrageous-princess-michael-of-kent-quotes" target="_blank">Princess Michael of Kent</a>, the daughter of a Nazi SS officer, has long been a matter of public record). For instance, an <a href="https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2021/03/08/piers-morgan-demolishes-the-meghan-markle-interview-with-a-few-simple-points-and-questions-n339334" target="_blank">article</a> posted Monday morning by the right-wing clearinghouse RedState effusively praised vicious Meghan troll and Donald Trump pal <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/after-cnn-cancels-morgan-larry-king-says-i-could-come-back" target="_blank">Piers Morgan</a>, whose prime-time talk show years ago on CNN ended in tears, noting "that when it comes to his positions on the mewling and foot-stomping of social justice advocates and the eye-roll worthy self-victimization of some of the most privileged people in the world, he's spot on."

Morgan wasn't the only right-wing figure defending the crown and criticizing Markle.</p><p>"Trump acolytes Ric Grenell and Charlie Kirk, both prized guests on Fox News, likened Markle to another Black actor, Jussie Smollett, who fabricated a story to the cops about being attacked on the street by MAGA supporters," The Beast reported. "While another Meghan—McCain—professed sympathy for Markle on <em>The View</em>, her husband, Federalist editor Ben Domenech <a href="https://twitter.com/iamchanteezy/status/1368952753989558272" target="_blank">accused</a> the Duchess of being a liar."</p><p>Former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly also blasted the young couple.</p>
