British guest on MSNBC Live has sparked outrage after saying 'many people' consider Meghan Markle to be 'five clicks up from trailer trash'.

The show's anchor, Lindsey Reiser, ended the interview about Prince Harry and Meghan stepping back from royal duties immediately following the remark from British reporter Victoria Mather.

The comment from the journalist - who has worked for The Telegraph and Vanity Fair - came as she was discussing how the Duchess of Sussex has been 'disrespectful' to the royal family and its protocol.

'I think what has really, really upset the British public is that Meghan Markle, who many people consider as only, you know, five clicks up from trailer trash, has actually tried to disrespect the queen,' she said.

'And the queen is the most respected person, most respected woman, in the world.'

In the five-minute interview that preceded the shocking comment Mather said that 'Hollywood celebrity' Meghan didn't want to stay in the royal family because she would be 'second-best' to her sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

She said: 'I don't think Meghan Markle wanted to spend the rest of her life looking at Kate Middleton's back as she sat in the second row to the future queen. I don't think she wanted — she didn't want to be second best.

The duke and duchess returned to the UK this week to complete their final official royal duties after moving to Canada.

“Poor Harry, he chose poorly”

He wore his military dress uniform for the last time this weekend. It looked like he was about to burst into tears. You could tell he missed it. Harry said being in the military in Afghanistan was the best time of his entire life.

Princess Di was a strong and independent woman

Ummm..heck no! Now if you'd said an insecure, neurotic woman, you'd be close to the truth.

James Carville got a sister?

[ncpatriot]

I still think she is a malignant narcissist.

Clicks or Chicks?

[ncpatriot]

I still think she is a malignant narcissist.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

She wants to be the next Grace Kelly but with a career. She is a special kind of stupid - she would have had every opportunity known to man. She knew what she was getting into but obviously didn't expect to be shown the door when she tried to tell them what was what. And it was pretty funny how it played out. 🤣 Pass the popcorn- and sorry Brits- we don't claim her and are glad she jumped to your shore.

Yep. The truth hurts and the British journalist was being generous. She’s a gold digging, narcissistic, liberal that will use Harry and anyone one she meets for all she can get.

[pax_et_bonum]

Me, too.

[dfwgator]

Harry likes his women just a little on the trashy side.

[Bon mots]

[GOP Poet]

Yep. Sad.

[beaversmom]

It’s good to know that MSNBC doesn’t like trash talking people. We are sure to see a new leaf now when it comes to our president. /sarc tag for the sarcastically impaired.

[GOP Poet]

Yes. So true!

[max americana]

she already is TRASH
