Nana Akua Unleashes Furious Attack on Meghan Markle in Brutal On-Air Rant

Meghan Markle’s latest podcast appearance has stirred up a storm — and GB News presenter Nana Akua is leading the charge with some scathing remarks. The Duchess of Sussex made headlines after reportedly using her HRH title during a heartfelt interview on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, and Nana didn’t hold back.

“It just feels like everything is a performance,” she said on air. “I just can’t bear it. She’s allegedly using this title when she shouldn’t be. It’s pretty straightforward”, reported GB News.

This podcast was a rare one for Meghan — her first time being interviewed on someone else’s show — and while much of the chat focused on family, love, and life outside the palace, it’s that subtle use of her royal title that’s got people talking. Since stepping back from official royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry agreed not to use their HRH styles publicly. So for critics, this moment felt like overstepping.

Royal commentator Kara Kennedy weighed in too, pointing to Meghan’s reference to life in the Royal Family as being “in the trenches”. Kennedy didn’t hold back either, saying, “I think most would disagree,” and added, “She knows this. She doesn’t use her HRH titles for commercial purposes, but this feels pretty commercial.”

The interview itself was filmed in a cosy, stripped-back setting — Meghan wore a simple black jumper with her children’s names stitched on the collar, no make-up, just rocking chairs and raw emotion. At one point, she even wiped away tears while reflecting on her journey and life with Prince Harry.

“H, that man loves me so much, and you know, look what we’ve built,” she said. “We have built a beautiful life and we have two healthy, beautiful children.”

She also shared that their seventh wedding anniversary is just around the corner, giving fans a rare glimpse into their private life.

Since stepping back from the Royal Family, Meghan’s kept busy with her lifestyle brand As Ever, her own podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, and even her Netflix docuseries With Love, Meghan. When asked about a possible memoir, she teased, “Yes, maybe, for sure,” before adding, “I’ve got a lot more life to live before I’m there.”

But despite the stripped-back setting and personal stories, the HRH controversy has once again taken centre stage — and critics like Nana Akua are making it clear they’re not buying what they see as yet another performance.
