Daily Mail columnist Liz Jones slammed the interview, calling it “a word salad of clichés, veiled jabs, and zero self-awareness.” Jones mocked Meghan’s claim that she was attracted to Harry’s “childlike wonder and playfulness,” asking whether labeling a military veteran and father as “childlike” painted him as a man with “mummy issues”.

But it was the address — “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” — that triggered the harshest backlash.

Commentators say it was a “Hallmark movie moment” that screamed image management, an attempt to cling to the royal status she publicly claims she left behind.

Jones didn’t hold back:

“That fantasy introduction screams desperation — a staged reminder of the brief period when she truly belonged on magazine covers. I wonder if she wears a tiara in bed?”

Meghan ends the interview with: “There’s no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes.”

Critics replied: “Well, this interview is a very big one.”
