Mia Farrow deletes tweet venting at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid fierce backlash

Mia Farrow has deleted a tweet about being “tired” of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle after receiving backlash from their fans.

Actress Mia, 78, who starred in horror classic Rosemary's Baby in 1968, surprised fans by sharing her feelings on the Sussexes.

The devout Catholic wrote to her 467,700 Twitter followers: “Here's my unkind thought of the day: I'm getting a little bit tired of Harry and Meghan.”

The since-deleted message went down like a lead balloon with Harry and Meghan’s fans – the Sussex Squad – and also many of Mia’s own followers.

Commenting on her words, one person replied: “Does anybody know what #MiaFarrow was responding too? We literally haven't heard a peep from #MeghanMarkIe. What made her tweet this nonsense?”

Many others accused the actress of being hypocritical, suggesting that her “family dirty laundry [that] we've been subjected to for decades”.

Another social media user wrote: “Imagine having this many skeletons in one's closet but having the nerve to say you are tired of a man and woman you do not know and have not been seen or heard from in months.”

No doubt the hypocrisy and “skeletons” people are referring to are the many allegations Mia and her ex-partner Woody Allen have made publicly about each other over the years.

Last year Woody issued a statement to hit back at long-standing claims that he abused his adopted daughter.

The Oscar-winning film director, 85, spoke out in a blistering attack on HBO’s four-part documentary Allen v Farrow, which aired in the US.

The series examines Allen’s relationship with daughter Dylan and his split from her actress mum Mia Farrow.

Its explosive content includes a never-before-seen 1992 home video shot by Mia, 76, in which Dylan, seven at the time, describes how Allen allegedly “touched her private parts”.

But Allen, whose classic films include Annie Hall and Manhattan, and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, 50, blasted back: “These documentarians had no interest in the truth.

“Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods.

"As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false. Multiple agencies investigated and found that, whatever Dylan may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place.”

They went on to suggest HBO’s collaboration with Allen’s estranged son Ronan proved its bias as the channel had a production deal with him.

The pair added: “While this shoddy hit piece may gain attention, it does not change the facts.”

Allen claims he and his wife were approached about the series less than two months ago and given “only days” to respond.

But producer Amy Herdy insisted: “I reached out a few times to try and interview him and got crickets [silence] back.”

Dylan’s widely reported claim never resulted in criminal action against Allen, who accuses Farrow of “relentlessly coaching” his daughter into thinking he was a “dangerous sexual predator”.

Allen believes Mia was driven by fury at his relationship with Soon-Yi, who is the adopted daughter of the actress and her conductor ex Andre Previn.
