After Australian TV network
chairperson Ita Clare Buttrose slammed Meghan Markle for being “deliberately
provocative”, ‘Today’ host Karl Stefanovich came out and issued a scathing
take-down of the Duchess of Sussex.
It’s no secret that Karl has
been brutely outspoken with his criticism of the former actress in the past.
And now, recently during a live broadcast cross to Nine reporter Tracy Waugh in
Manchester, where Prince Harry and his wife are due to attend a youth
summit this week, he slightly misquoted ABC chair Buttrose.
“Ita Buttrose said they’ve
turned into D-grade celebrities. That’s about right, isn’t it?” he asked
Tracey Waugh.
“Well, we’ve been hearing
locally here as well, guys, that some people say they’re not welcome here,” she
responded. “There’s a real divide in that support for Prince Harry and Meghan,
so we’ll see how tomorrow pans out.”
