Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “two of the most useless people in the world” and the blue-blooded version of the Kardashians, a conservative radio host has claimed.
Mark Simone, who was previously described by Donald Trump as a “truly great talker”, also suggested the Sussexes lacked direction as many Americans do not know what the pair do for work.
He told GB News: “I think of them as two of the most useless people in the world.
“I don't know what kind of work they're out of.

“I don't know what they do all day. I have no idea where they're going with all this.
“I think they were trying to be a royal version of the Kardashians.
“It's not working. People got tired of them very fast.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to the United States in early 2020 after stepping down as working royals.

“No one does optimism and ingenuity like the American people, so it's only right we unveil this year's Earthshot finalists in New York City.
“Eighty years ago, the world came together in this great city to find a new way, through the UN, to solve our shared challenges.
“I know our generation can take the bold action we need to make changes towards a healthy and sustainable world.
“The challenge may feel huge, but as John F Kennedy taught us, we rise to the challenge not because it is easy, but because it is hard. And vital.”
