Sharon Osbourne took aim at Prince Harry and Meghan on the set of Celebrity Big Brother, emphasizing that Sussex's return to the royal fold is highly improbable.
Osbourne, known for her candid remarks, asserted that her reputation in America has taken a hit, with potential employers branding her as discriminatory due to her public support of Piers Morgan's contentious comments about Meghan Markle.
The former X-Factor judge passionately defended Morgan's stance following his explosive remarks during Oprah's interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on March 7, 2021. During a recent episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Osbourne revealed her frustration at being sidelined from television opportunities in the U.S., despite being legally able to work there.
She expressed dismay at the perception that she lacks empathy for those who face discrimination, emphasizing her own diverse family background and her children's experiences in a multicultural environment.
Osbourne's troubles in America escalated after her longtime friend Morgan, with whom she served as a judge on America's Got Talent, criticized Harry and Meghan's interview, dubbing it a "2-hour trashathon" that disparaged the British monarchy. Morgan's remarks sparked widespread backlash, with accusations of discrimination hurled at him.
Undeterred, Osbourne publicly stood by Morgan, tweeting her support and defending his right to express his opinions. She reminded critics that Morgan, like anyone else, is entitled to his perspective, despite the controversy it may generate.
In the wake of the interview fallout, Prince Harry and Meghan found themselves facing dwindling odds of a return to royal duties. Their decision to step back from royal life in 2020 and relocate to the United States strained their relationship with the monarchy.
Despite occasional glimmers of hope for reconciliation, such as Harry's swift return to the UK following King Charles's illness, experts remain skeptical about the couple's future within the royal fold. Bookmakers have pegged the chances of Harry and Meghan resuming their royal duties at a mere 0.1%, significantly lower than even the controversial Prince Andrew's odds.
Speculation about Harry's potential removal from the line of succession by Prince William further underscores the rift within the royal family and the uncertainty surrounding the Sussexes' future role.
