Fox News' Tucker Carlson didn't miss the opportunity to take a dig at Meghan Markle and Harry on his show on Tuesday night, March 9. This, despite saying he didn't want to talk about the couple's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey that has been viewed more than 49 millions time, worldwide. 

He began his segment by simply dismissing the attention Oprah Winfrey's interview with Markle and Harry has been receiving. He said at the beginning of his segment, "Who cares?" and went on to describe other news networks as "natural fangirls with no respect, so of course, they love the royals", for covering the interview extensively.

His commentary however didn't end there. He then called Meghan Markle a "manipulative opportunist" and said Harry was "weak and unhappy" on national television. The TV host shared a clip from the interview focusing on Markle's tiff with Kate Middleton, which reportedly made the former cry. When asked to address the rumors about her making Middelton cry, Markle told Winfrey, "The reverse happened. A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to, yes, the issue was correct, about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings."

Commenting on this, Carlson said, "So that was the princess or duchess or whatever she is. Here's this royal person, one of the most famous and fawned-over people in the world telling Oprah that she was incredibly wounded because she got into some kind of petty argument about dresses with her sister-in-law at her wedding three years ago."

He remarked that there was no reason for the press to talk about her and her sister-in-law fighting over a flower girl's dress. Carlson bluntly dubbed the incident as Markle's 9/11. Carlson continued mocking Markle for sharing her experiences with Oprah about how it was to live in the Palace. Carlson sarcastically joked, "She's actually an oppressed victim. She may look powerful but she's powerless."

Responding to Markle's claims of being "silenced", he said, "A rational person might consider this claim absurd, but amazingly no one else seems to think it is. Oprah clearly doesn't think it's absurd." Carlson's comments about Markle and Harry seem to have left the majority of the Twitter users upset, as they've slammed him for being disrespectful towards the couple. Social media users have also criticized his insensitivity towards Markle, despite her opening up about her issues with the royal family.

One user wrote, "I'm sorry I can't do it anymore I have to get it off my chest, if I don't I feel like I will explode. It literally eats at me day in and day out. I wish I could think about something else I have to say it. Tucker Carlson is an egotistical piece of shit. There I feel better now". Another tweeted, "Tucker can’t let online harassment stand... nope, he needs to bring it to the airwaves. Go at him; Piers Morgan lost his job for attacking a woman. What is Tucker Carlson, if not a cheap imitation."

One tweet said, "The biggest crybaby on tv is Tucker Carlson! He’s made a career of complaining", while another echoing the sentiment said, "At least we can all agree that Tucker Carlson is a little bitch. Don’t get me wrong, he’s an alpha-male to you cucks but the rest of us see a weak little impotent man raging at the world for Rupert bucks."
