Janice Dickinson just added her name to the long list of celebrities who think Meghan Markle blew it with the royal family.

The former supermodel didn’t hold back in a recent sit-down with The Sun, telling the British tabloid that the Duchess of Sussex has “zero class” and never carried herself the way royalty is supposed to. Dickinson’s comments land nearly five months after Meghan and Prince Harry’s bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, which sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and reignited a global debate about how the couple was treated — and how they’ve handled leaving. She’s now one of several outspoken media figures piling on the Sussexes for going public with their grievances.

• Janice Dickinson, the former “America’s Next Top Model” judge, told The Sun that Meghan Markle lacks “class” and graciousness befitting a royal.
• Dickinson’s remarks follow the March 2021 Oprah Winfrey sit-down, in which Harry and Meghan alleged a senior royal raised concerns about their son Archie’s skin tone before his birth.
• The couple also claimed Meghan received inadequate mental health support and was never properly briefed on royal protocol — claims Dickinson dismissed as an excuse for bad behavior.

Dickinson’s Sharpest Lines

Dickinson didn’t mince words when describing what she saw as Meghan’s failure to adapt to royal life. She argued that a woman marrying into one of the world’s most scrutinized families owes that family a certain decorum — and that Meghan, in her view, never delivered it. Her criticism wasn’t limited to general demeanor; Dickinson specifically pointed to how Meghan treated the Queen, framing it as a lack of respect for the monarch.

Meghan had “zero class” and was never “gracious” enough to belong among British royalty, Dickinson told The Sun.

The Oprah Fallout Still Simmering

Dickinson’s comments can’t be separated from the interview that set off this entire news cycle. When Harry and Meghan sat down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, they didn’t just air family grievances — they made allegations that rattled the institution itself, including the claim that an unnamed royal had questioned what Archie’s skin color might be before he was even born. They also said Meghan struggled with her mental health inside the palace and was given no real guidance on royal etiquette once she joined the family.

That broadcast triggered a wave of backlash from British media personalities and royal commentators, several of whom accused the couple of airing dirty laundry rather than working through issues privately. Dickinson’s remarks slot her into that same camp, treating the Oprah interview less as a legitimate grievance and more as proof that Meghan never fully bought into royal duty in the first place.

A Pattern of Public Criticism

Dickinson is far from the only famous face to take a swing at Meghan since the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties. The scrutiny has followed Meghan since her engagement to Harry was first announced, touching everything from her wardrobe to her family history — the kind of dysfunction detailed in a timeline of Meghan Markle’s parents’ dysfunctional relationship. Critics like Dickinson tend to frame that scrutiny as a matter of decorum and tradition, while others have pushed back, arguing the criticism crosses into something uglier given Meghan is biracial.

Dickinson’s own credibility as a judge of “class” comes with its own asterisk — her decades in front of the camera on “America’s Next Top Model” put her in a similar orbit to the industry Meghan came from before “Suits” and the royal wedding, a world explored in where the winners of America’s Next Top Model are today. That background hasn’t stopped her, or plenty of other British commentators, from positioning themselves as defenders of royal tradition against what they see as Meghan’s self-interest.

Whatever side of the debate Dickinson falls on, the Sussexes haven’t shown any sign of walking back what they said to Oprah. Harry and Meghan have kept their post-royal life centered on the same causes they raised in that interview, and every fresh round of criticism — Dickinson’s included — just keeps the story in headlines the couple probably wishes had faded months ago.
