In a recent segment on the Today Show, host Karl Stefanovic couldn’t help but mock Meghan Markle’s reaction to a fire that occurred in her son’s nursery during the final tour before she and Prince Harry stepped down from their royal duties in 2020.
As Meghan described the incident, Karl struggled to contain his laughter, questioning the baby’s presence during the fire.
Co-host Alison Langdon clarified that the nanny had already taken the baby out of the room before the fire started.
Karl’s response was a mix of shock and amusement, exclaiming, “Oh my god!”
Alison attempted to empathize with Meghan, highlighting that she was a new mother in a foreign country, which could have been a frightening experience.
However, Karl disregarded her perspective, suggesting that Alison’s sympathy was insincere.
He even went on to say, “That’s not you talking.
You’re a woman who says grow a set.”
It is not the first time Karl has mocked Meghan, as he previously criticized her for acting like the first mom ever while discussing her daughter’s teething troubles.
Alison scolded Karl once again for his insensitivity.
The story itself has raised eyebrows, with many finding it confusing.
Karl’s laughter at Meghan’s account is not surprising given the lack of clarity in the narrative.
The podcast in question is Part 2 of The Oprah Interview, and similar to its predecessor, it has received mixed reviews.
Some have labeled it as yawn-worthy and yet another attempt to criticize the royal family.
Royal expert Daniela Elsa rebuked Meghan’s aim to dismantle the stereotypes women have faced for generations, stating that the Duchess has failed to achieve this goal in the first episode.
Elsa described the podcast as the 878th attack Meghan has made on the royal family from a distance.
Critics have not held back in their assessment of the podcast.
The Times called the first episode almost entirely preposterous, while The Telegraph condemned it as a disappointing debut.
TV Talk’s Max described Meghan Markle’s new podcast as drivel and tone-deaf.

He further criticized the podcast, describing it as drivel.
The panel’s reaction highlighted their disappointment with the content.
During the discussion, Mike Graham raised concerns about more pressing issues facing society, such as crime and poverty.
He questioned the relevance of Meghan’s message in light of these challenges.
James Max echoed Mike’s sentiment, stating that the podcast’s timing is even more tone-deaf now that society is grappling with significant problems.
He emphasized that the money spent on the podcast could have been put to better use.
The discussion concluded with a shared sentiment of wanting to be left alone, urging Meghan and Harry to do the same.
In conclusion, Karl Stefanovic’s mocking of Meghan Markle’s response to the nursery fire has sparked controversy.
