Megyn Kelly slams Meghan Markle's first podcast appearance; claims the Duchess was pretending to cry 

Meghan Markle had her very first podcast appearance on April 28, 2025, and Netizens and talk show hosts are still talking about it. The Duchess of Sussex appeared as a guest on Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast and shared private details about her life as a Royal.

The Suits actress spoke about the early period of her marriage to Prince Harry and seemingly alluded to facing difficulties in Britain:

"You have to imagine, at the beginning, it's all butterflies – but then we immediately went into the trenches together. Right out of the gate, like six months into dating."

Meghan Markle also got emotional as she talked about her children. The Duchess wiped away tears as she expressed how proud she was of them, before remarking that it was "so great not to have makeup on."

Megyn Kelly criticized Meghan Markle's no-makeup look and emotional display on her eponymous talk show on May 6, 2025. The talk show host threw shade at Meghan for claiming that she had no makeup on despite having the “perfect blowout.”

Kelly also claimed that the Duchess of Sussex’s emotional episode during the podcast was fake, as there were no tears in sight.

"She's allegedly wearing no makeup. Meanwhile, she's got like the perfect blowout, you know, and like she's completely camera-ready, except she didn't put eye makeup on. And she also is pretending like she's crying. And we did a zero in, like we zoomed in just to see. There isn't a tear in sight. Dan, look. Look at this," Megyn Kelly said.

Megyn Kelly urged fans to examine the video onscreen and spot the tears. She claimed that Markle used an “actor’s trick” as she kept wiping her eyes.

Megyn Kelly and Dan Wootton comment on Meghan Markle’s appearance on Jamie Kern Lima's podcast

Dan Wootton agreed with Kelly’s opinions about Markle, adding that Jamie Kern Lima was acting like the “new Oprah Winfrey.” Wootton also called the podcast episode a “car crash.”

The show host and her guest also made other claims against Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage. Dan Wootton alleged that Markle was lying when she said she was happy in her marriage to Prince Harry.

The New Zealand-British journalist and newscaster added that Markle’s voice went up an octave when she spoke about staying with Prince Harry forever. Wootton also commented on Markle’s refusal to write a book about her life, stating that the Duchess of Sussex was waiting to cash in on the right moment:

"Megan doesn't want to have to write a book now, which would obviously include loads and loads of positive stuff about Prince Harry, because she is preparing for the big payday, which she knows will be a massive payout to keep her going for years and years."

Megyn Kelly and Wootton also discussed Markle’s investment in Hannah Mendoza’s business and wondered why Jamie Kern Lima didn’t bring up the bullying allegations against Markle.
