Meghan Markle was criticised on GB News last night when journalist Neil Wallis laid into the duchess after her recent “bullying” claims.
According to Meghan, she is one of the world’s most bullied people, a claim the former News of the World editor strongly refuted.
She made the claim during a poignant solo visit to a youth organisation in Santa Barbara earlier this month.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is often branded ‘Duchess Difficult’ due to perceived flaws in her ability to converse with others.

Asked by Mark Dolan on GB News if she deserves the nickname, Wallis responded: “Every syllable of it”.
He added: “She’s an appalling woman. The idea that you could sit there and say publicly ‘I am one of the most bullied person in the world’ to a bunch of 11-year-olds, I wonder what victims of domestic violence felt about that.

“If someone says something appalling that really strikes at how you experience your life, particularly a victim of domestic violence, to hear someone like her in her make-up and gown to say ‘I’m bullied’, that strikes right to your core.”
Broadcaster Nina Myskow offered a differing perspective, saying Meghan was “bullied out of the UK” by the Royal Family and the British media.
“When she arrived on the scene, she and Harry became magical”, she said.
“The problem with that scenario is that we have William and Kate. They are the number one.

“Their popularity overtook that of William and Kate. That cannot be allowed to happen.
“William is the one to keep the machinery going. She was pushed out of this country.”
Wallis hit back at the claim that the media forced the Sussexes out of the country, saying it was “nonsense”.
“I have never been told how I should react to the royals. I was told to follow what I felt was right for the reader.”
Political commentator Fleur Elizabeth waded in on the discussion to say criticism and bullying are two very different things.
“She mailed her wedding ring back to her first husband, abandoned her father who paid for her education”, she added.
“She completely abandoned him after he gave her her whole lifestyle. She has chosen to be a public figure and marry into the most famous family in the world.”
