Meghan Markle has been slammed for making "crazy comments" about enjoying a new "honeymoon period" with Prince Harry after stepping back from royal duties.
Royal commentator Ingrid Steward expressed disbelief at the Duchess of Sussex's remarks during a recent podcast appearance.
The criticism comes as Meghan claimed she and Harry are now able to "enjoy each other in a new way" after getting "a little bit of breathing space" following their departure from the UK.
Speaking to GB News, Royal commentator Ingrid Steward said: "I can't believe she can say such crazy things.

"I mean, if she wants to maintain some semblance of popularity, she's got to be a little bit more humble.
"What she could have easily said is that the wedding was absolutely stupendous and it was wonderful.

"The British people were so welcoming, but sadly, it didn't work out. I mean, it wouldn't be difficult to say that even if she didn't mean it. I just think that she is sometimes remarkably stupid."
Speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Meghan reflected on the early stages of her relationship with Prince Harry.
"You have to imagine at the beginning, everyone has, like, butterflies," she said.
During the same podcast interview, controversy erupted when host Jamie Kern Lima displayed a gift basket she had received from Meghan.
The basket contained homemade strawberry sauce and ice cream, accompanied by a card reading: "With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex."
This use of the HRH title appears to contradict an agreement made when the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
The agreement to stop using HRH titles was made during the "Sandringham Summit" on January 13, 2020, at Queen Elizabeth II's Norfolk estate.

A spokesman for the Sussexes said "they do not use HRH titles," according to a recent Express report.
The Sussexes' team clarified that while they still hold the titles, there was no formal legal removal of the styles.
A source close to the couple suggested the image of the gift card "may have been old."
