Karl Stefanovic Mocks Meghan Markle’s Reaction to Nursery Fire

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 Sussexes' final tour before stepping down from royal duties in 2020.

As Meghan described the incident, Stefanovic struggled to contain his laughter.

Stefanovic questioned the details of the story, asking if the baby was even present when the fire broke out.

Co-host Alison Langdon clarified that the nanny had already taken the baby out of the room before the fire started.

Stefanovic's response was an incredulous “Oh my god.”

Langdon attempted to sympathize with Meghan, highlighting that she was a new mother in a foreign country and the incident could have been frightening for her.

However, Stefanovic dismissed her concerns and accused her of showing fake sympathy.

He remarked that Langdon should be true to herself and not pretend to care, suggesting that she would typically advise someone to “grow a set.”

This is not the first time Stefanovic has made fun of Meghan.

Last year, he criticized her for acting like the first mom ever while discussing her daughter's teething troubles.

Langdon once again scolded Stefanovic for his insensitivity.

The story itself has received criticism for its lack of coherence, which might explain why Stefanovic found it amusing.

The podcast, titled The Oprah Interview Part 2, has been described as yawn-worthy and another attack on the royal family.

Royal expert Daniela Elsa rebuked Meghan, stating that she hardly succeeded in her aim to challenge societal expectations for women in the first episode.

Elsa labeled the podcast as the 878th attempt by Meghan to criticize the royal institution from a distance.

The reception to the podcast has been largely negative, with The Times calling the first episode almost entirely preposterous and The Telegraph condemning it.

TV Talk's Max described Meghan's podcast as drivel and tone-deaf.

The podcast was discussed on The Talk, where a panel including Talk Radio host Mike Graham, James Max, Dr. David Bull, former GMTV presenter Penny Smith, and political commentator Esther Crack debated its merits.

After listening to a clip from the podcast, James Max and Mike Graham shook their heads in disbelief, and Dr. David appeared shocked.

Esther was initially speechless but eventually branded the podcast as cringe-worthy and exclaimed, “I think the cringe is like giving me a heart attack.”

James Max joined in, calling it a cringe fest and one of the worst things he had ever seen.

He criticized the podcast, questioning its worth after reportedly being paid 18 million for the deal.

Later in the discussion, Mike Graham pointed out that there are more pressing issues to discuss, such as crime and poverty, suggesting that Meghan's podcast is irrelevant in comparison.

The criticism towards Meghan's podcast highlights the growing sentiment that it lacks substance and fails to address real-world problems.

As society faces significant challenges, some argue that Meghan's focus on her personal experiences and grievances with the royal family seems tone-deaf and out of touch.

In conclusion, Karl Stefanovic's mockery of Meghan Markle's reaction to the nursery fire has sparked controversy.

The podcast itself has faced widespread criticism for its perceived lack of substance and relevance.

While Meghan aims to challenge societal expectations and share her experiences, many believe that her efforts fall short and distract from more pressing issues.
