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.

You make a very good point about Charles and Camilla.
So while 5 clicks above trailer park trash may not be so bad in the US, in the UK, it means really bad! Thanks for the info.
Some called that statement Racist. But trailer trash is white denigration. If she had said “ ghetto “, they might have had a point to discuss
I lived in a trailer for about five years when I was younger. I really resent this insult from effete snobs who are steeped in privilege. Sure, there are some sleazy people in trailer parks, but there have been sleazy people in the White House and Buckingham Palace as well.
Na’ Harry just likes his women a little on the trashy side. Kind of sounds like a country song doesn’t it??

“Instead she’s blowing it every way possible.”
I suspect you have hit upon the real reason that Harry is attracted to Markle.
Thats what will go on Harry’s gravestone “ he chose poorly”.
Ha! LOVE it!!
Nope....she gives him the kid...
IIRC, Diana had to be a virgin for Charles.
Agree! Plenty!
Did she forget about Hillary Clinton? and Michelle Obama? and Oprah Winfrey? and Greta Thunberg? and Stacy Abrams?

The Brits have more layers of social strata than we do.
