Meghan Markle was ripped apart on Sky News Australia over her rumoured links to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The former Duke of York, 66, was stripped of all his remaining titles and kicked out of his home of more than 20 years – Royal Lodge – due to his links with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It has now been reported that if Meghan, 44, decides to accompany Prince Harry, 41, on his trip to the UK this summer, King Charles is considering offering them accommodation at Royal Lodge.

Sky News Australia host Danica De Giorgio kickstarted the discussion by talking about “everyone’s favourite non-royal – the Duchess of Privacy”. She explained how Meghan is gearing up for a “carefully orchestrated” return to the UK and commented on reports that the king may offer them Andrew’s former home. Danica said: “I reckon that lodge is tainted by all of Andrew’s misdemeanours. But surely not?”

She was joined by writer and comedian Michael Loftus, who went as far to suggest that Meghan and Andrew “used to be a thing”.

He said: “Hopefully this trip is sponsored by some cleaning product because she’s going to have to wipe down the whole place, search it for hidden cameras. Maybe she and Andrew used to be a thing. You hear these rumours.”

Continuing his scathing attack on the former Suits actress, Michael continued: “She is the queen of tacky. Can’t she just come over for a family visit, have a picnic, do a barbecue? No. She’s got to slide into town and try and get a free place to stay.”

He declared: “She is the queen of tacky and awkward.”

Danica added: “She loves it. She loves a freebie. I just cannot imagine the king ever offering those two upper residence but it would be a downgrade if they ended up in the ex-residence of the man formerly known as Prince.”

Andrew is reportedly keen on reconnecting with Prince Harry (Image: Getty)

It comes after reports emerged that Andrew is said to be keen on reconnecting with Prince Harry. Andrew, who was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month, reportedly believes that both he and Harry share the feeling of being sidelined by the Royal Family.

As reported by The News, a palace insider has said: “Andrew is feeling a lot of kinship towards Harry. In his view, they are both ‘spares’ that have been terribly mistreated. Andrew still can’t believe his own brother and family have turned on him this way, and now he sees they’ve done it to Harry, too.”

While sources claims that Harry is open to the idea, Meghan is believed to have made her feelings about Andrew abundantly clear.

“The issue that he’s going to face is that Meghan is disgusted by him. She thinks he’ll tarnish her brand [As Ever] and will want nothing to do with him – and what she says goes when it comes to Harry,” the source added.
