'Prince Harry’s like Armie freaking Hammer': Kathy Griffin on royal's Instagram romance with Meghan Markle
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Famous comedian Kathy Griffin has compared Prince Harry to disgraced actor Armie Hammer after it was revealed that the royal couple's romance began after they first met on Instagram. “I thought this was going to be a great love story … Prince Harry’s like Armie freaking Hammer,” she said after the Duke of Sussex revealed in the new Netflix docuseries that he first saw a photo of Meghan Markle while scrolling on the social media platform.
She then added, "Yeah, what if Prince Harry is the new House of Hammer?” Hammer, who has been accused in 2021 by multiple women of abuse and allegedly sending vulgar messages on social media, is currently under investigation for allegedly raping an ex-lover. “Prince Harry was just flipping through Instagram looking for another hot brunette, like every other guy in LA,” Griffin joked, adding “So I’m disappointed.”

Griffin also made fun of Harry and Markle’s philanthropic endeavors in another video. “Acting like they can do so much good in the world, which is great and aspirational,” she said, adding, “But when’s the last time a royal did anything that helped the world? That’s all I’m saying.”
Griffin also noted that the Duchess of Sussex “kinda acts like she was never on ‘Deal or No Deal’ and when I say ‘kinda acts like,’ I mean they don’t acknowledge it at all which is hilarious to me." Griffin added, "That’s a good gig if you’re an actress, union, high-paying job."
The 41-year-old former actress shared in October that she quit her 2006 job as a briefcase girl on the game show as she was being “reduced to a bimbo" and felt that there was “little substance” to the role. “I ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,” Meghan said on an episode of her podcast 'Archetypes'.
Whoopi Goldberg criticized Meghan on 'The View' and said, "When you’re a performer, you take the gig. You take the gig. Sometimes, you’re in a Bozo suit, sometimes you got a big nose, and this is just the way it is.” She continued, “We’re not journalists. We’re actors. We’re trying to get to another place.”
Griffin also teased Meghan for “acting like she doesn’t even know what hair and makeup is." “I’ve never been in this situation where someone would take my picture,” she said, pretending to be Markle. “You’re an actor…” she said, before adding that she’s definitely going to be tuning into the next three episodes.
Twitter users also reacted to the comparison Griffin drew between Prince Harry and Armie Hammer. One user tweeted, "Who cares?" Another user tweeted, "Whoever is in charge of replacing the clones of celebrities, you aren’t doing a very good job."
"This woman is the worst comedian in the world," said one user. One tweeted, "Oh my fucking god. What's wrong with her? Like what happened to her face."
