Don Lemon mocks Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s UK comeback: ‘Make up y’all mind’
Don Lemon wants Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to “make up” their minds.
The former CNN journalist poked fun at the couple’s shocking decision to move back to England in a Wednesday Instagram video.
“What? What is going on here?” the 60-year-old asked his followers while highlighting headlines about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell choice.
He chided the couple for going back across the pond “after all that consternation, after all that stuff y’all put us through,” including their viral Oprah Winfrey interview.
While Lemon clarified he is “rooting” for the pair and “the interracial of it all,” he quipped, “Come on, make up y’all’s mind.”
He grumbled, “Good luck. Whatever.”
Lemon pointed out that he “predicted” the relocation — although he initially thought Harry, 41, would separate from Markle, 45, and go home solo.
“There’s a twist,” he mused. “They’re both going back now. … That’s gonna be a little bit of drama. I wanna know what Kate [Middleton] is gonna say.
“Is it gonna be kissy kissy huggy hug or shady mcshade?” he speculated, referencing Middleton and husband Prince William’s estrangement from Harry and Markle. “The latter, I’m sure.”
He shared more thoughts on the social media platform the following day, asking the “legitimate question” of “what changed” to bring them back.
“This is somewhat shocking,” Lemon said. “They told the world exactly how unhappy they had been inside that institution.”
Before bashing “complaining” haters angry about the move, he speculated that Harry “doesn’t want his children, [Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet], inheriting his feud.”
While a return won’t “magically repair” Markle’s and Harry’s relationships with the latter’s loved ones, Lemon said, “Families are complicated. People get older. Priorities change. Sometimes you realize winning the argument isn’t nearly as important as getting your family back.”
Page Six hears Harry’s choice to return to his homeland was motivated by a desire to be closer to his dad, King Charles.
Additionally, a royal insider told us Prince William’s inner circle believes “money and inheritance are part of the calculation.”
The source explained, “There is a suspicion Harry and Meghan … want to re-establish their position, influence and proximity to the monarchy while Charles is still King. … They see this as an attempt to get a foot back in the door before William is the one deciding how firmly that door is closed.”
Multiple reports surfaced Friday that Markle is eyeing a return to her acting career once back in England.
