'America has enough problem' without Prince Harry says host
Since making their decision to step down as senior royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan have settled in the US, with the Duke previously stating that America "feels like home". Speaking on TalkTv, journalist Afua Hagan slated the US by stating that the country has "enough problems" without "taking on our Royal Family".
Ms Hagan claimed that for some people "hating on Meghan Markle is a sport".
She added: "They have uniforms, they have leaks and they get points every week in a country where you have repealed essential rights for women.
"In a country where you won't ban guns and guns kills more children every year than cancer."
She continued: "You are doing polls about Meghan and Harry, America has enough problems without having to take on our Royal Family.
