In a stunning turn of events, legendary singer and songwriter Billy Joel took center stage at the Seattle T-Mobile Park on Saturday night and launched a scathing attack on Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
Known for his iconic hits like “Piano Man” and “Uptown Girl,” Joel did not hold back as he labeled Meghan as dirty, ungrateful, and a disgrace to the royal family.
The audience, consisting of thousands of fans, witnessed the musician express his disgust and betrayal towards Meghan, while also expressing sympathy for his close friend, Prince Harry, who Joel believed had made a grave mistake by marrying her.
Joel’s ire stemmed from Meghan’s decision to abandon her royal duties and move to the United States, where she and Harry gave a controversial interview to Oprah Winfrey.
During the interview, they leveled unfounded accusations of racism and bullying against the royal family, tarnishing its reputation.
According to Joel, Meghan’s lack of respect and gratitude towards the royal family and the Commonwealth made her a fake and a phony, using Harry for her own selfish and greedy agenda.
He accused her of manipulating the narrative, playing the victim, and fabricating stories to gain sympathy and fame.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause as Joel’s passionate rant continued for approximately 10 minutes.
Many fans expressed their pride and admiration for the singer, applauding him for speaking his mind and standing up against Meghan.
They also commended his musical talents, thoroughly enjoying the concert.
However, not everyone shared this sentiment.
Meghan and Harry’s supporters voiced their outrage, accusing Joel of rudeness, invasion of privacy, and disrespecting the couple’s dignity.
Some even suggested that Joel’s actions were driven by jealousy and bitterness towards Meghan and Harry’s success and happiness, claiming that he aimed to tarnish their reputation and image.
As of now, Meghan and Harry have not responded to Joel’s rant, nor have they confirmed their attendance at his concert.
Sources close to the couple revealed that they were deeply hurt and shocked by Joel’s words, feeling unfairly attacked and insulted.
However, they remained steadfast in their plans, asserting their right to live their lives as they saw fit.
Meghan and Harry believed they had done nothing wrong and refused to be silenced by Joel’s remarks.
Billy Joel, currently on his Billy Joel in Concert Tour, has not addressed his controversial statements or provided any explanation for his outburst.
He has neither apologized nor retracted his comments.
Furthermore, he has not disclosed any personal or professional issues with Meghan or Harry, leaving the motive behind his rant unknown.
The status of his friendship with Prince Harry is also unclear at this time.
