Chris Rock slams Meghan Markle

Chris Rock slams Meghan Markle for accusing royals of racism in Oprah chat

In his new comedy special, Selective Outrage, which was streamed live on Netflix from the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore on Saturday night, he slated Meghan Markle’s claims that the royal family were racist in an interview she and Prince Harry did with Oprah Winfrey in 2021

Chris Rock has taken aim at Meghan Markle in a night of savage new comedy material.

The 58-year-old berated the Duchess of Sussex in his live Netflix stand-up special on Saturday night, as he addressed Will Smith and the infamous Oscars ceremony slap a year on.

While Rock took the opportunity to savagely take down Smith as he spoke at length on the incident for the first time, he didn’t pull any punches for other A-Listers who’ve been in the headlines recently.

In his new comedy special, Selective Outrage, which was streamed live on Netflix from the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore on Saturday night, he slated Meghan Markle’s claims that the royal family were racist in an interview she did with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

The former actress had told Oprah how she felt isolated from The Firm and shared a story about how one senior member of the family raised “concerns” over “how dark” her and Prince Harry’s baby’s skin would be before she had Archie.

But Rock took aim at Meghan in his new show, dismissing her claims and telling how he thought she was just merely dealing with internal family drama, “in-law sh*t”.

“Like who is this girl Meghan Markle?” he started, adding: “Seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?”

Chris questioned Markle’s shock during her Oprah interview and took aim at the royals. “You didn’t google these mother**kers?” he asked.

“What the f**k is she talking about she didn’t know? It’s the royal family. They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism. They are the OG’s of racism. They’re the Sugarhill Gang of racism.”

Elsewhere in the skit, he made fun of her further, mocking Meghan saying: “They’re so racist, they’re so racist.”

Rock added: “Some of that s*** she went through was not racism; it was just some in-law s***.

“Sometimes, it’s just some in-law s*** because she’s complaining, I’m like ‘What the f*** is she talking about?’”

Rock mocked Meghan again by repeating her claims: “’Oprah, they’re so racist they wanted to know how brown the baby was going to be’ – I’m like, ‘That’s not racist, because even Black people want to know how brown the baby going to be.’”

Rock also professed he knew what Markle was “going through”, stating: “I know her dilemma: Black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws. Oh, it’s hard. It’s so hard, it’s very hard– but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her Black in-laws. Now that s**t is really hard.”

He then quipped: “Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma. I’m like, ‘If you black and you wanted to be accepted by your white in-laws then you need to marry a Kardashian because they accept everybody.’”

The livestream was Rock’s biggest public performance since the Oscars scandal and came just days after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found themselves mocked in an episode of South Park.

Earlier this year, Prince Harry denied that they accused his family of racism in the Oprah interview – and instead said he was discussing unconscious bias.
