Cindy Adams takes aim at Prince Harry

Cindy Adams, a legendary gossip columnist in New York City, took aim at Prince Harry in an opinion piece published in The New York Post. Her remarks regarding the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, appeared less than complimentary.

Adams wrote, “Those claiming to know say whispers about Meghan and her non-prince of a guy are getting louder. Like how now, they’re not insanely euphoric yippee happy with their lives, or lies, or whatever.”

The columnist continued, “He dislikes California. There’s the London drama. He now resembles a jerk in two countries.”

She added, “Plus, they’ve fallen on their assets professionally. And that temp duchess is going nowhere.”

Cindy Adams claims royal drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “smells” reminiscent of the chaos surrounding the relationship of Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII. Adams once interviewed Simpson, the divorcee Edward abdicated the throne for.

Adams has a very distinct opinion regarding how the drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “smells like Britain’s long-ago aroma” of Wallis and Edward. She connected the similarities between the couples in her opinion piece for The New York Post.

“It smells like Britain’s long-ago aroma of Wallis, the American divorcee Duchess of Windsor, and her abdicated ex-king husband, Edward,” she wrote. “Right off, there were headlines, photos, and PR.”

She continued, “Time came when no limo, no curtsies, spring for your sandwich, you’re novelty’s gone. When it basically osmosed into who the hell cares.”

Adams says she once interviewed “bitter” Wallis, who called Edward strictly “His Royal Highness.” She said on their couch lay a huge real leopard fur, and Wallis admitted “His Royal Highness” hunted the animal.

She concluded, “Wallis told me ‘His Royal Highness is now inside working on our finances. We are no longer wealthy, and we are in need of money.’ She later appeared at a Palm Beach, Florida gala, and her payment was jewelry.”
