American columnist Kat Timpf slammed Meghan Markle for her comments and told the royal to "get a grip" after "constantly complaining" about her life.

“All of her millions and millions of dollars and all the prestige that she has and yet all this person can do is constantly complain. I don't think I've ever heard her say something positive. It's always a sob story, it's very intense. She's never just a little sad,” Kat Timph said.
