The Fox News alum tore Markle to shreds Thursday for sharing a four-year-old video of the duchess dancing with her husband while waiting to give birth.
Megyn Kelly once branded trigger warnings as “pathetic” but appeared to be in dire need of one herself — as she spent an entire segment Thursday on “The Megyn Kelly Show” slamming Meghan Markle for sharing old footage of herself dancing while pregnant.
The Duchess of Sussex was celebrating the 2021 birth of her daughter, Lilibet, by posting footage of a dance-off with husband Prince Harry in the delivery room. It appeared to send Kelly, who has gone after Markle on numerous occasions, over the edge.
The former Fox News host appeared affronted by the idea that some women would want to share their pregnancy experiences on social media and argued Thursday that “the moments before you give birth” should stay “between a husband and a wife only.”
“When you are together in that room and your child is coming, and maybe you do have a fun moment, I don’t know — this is not how I spent my moments before giving birth — but maybe you do have a fun moment,” Kelly said. “But it’s private. It’s actually holy.
“And for her to need to make it into an ego trip, which she’s clearly doing — ‘Look at me dancing, I’m still fun and I’m sexy, and I have this great marriage, and here’s Harry being, like, a normal guy’ — is disrespectful, I think, to the moment, to the child and, truly, to the sanctity of what goes on for any humans who are actually in that situation.”
This is at least the third time in two months that Kelly has gone after Markle: She mocked the duchess with a parody video in April and called her a “malignant narcissist” in May.
Meghan Markle and her husband made global headlines in 2020 by leaving the British royal family.

Kelly went even further with her gripes Thursday — and claimed Markle contributed to Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

Kelly previously alleged as much in 2023 and argued at the time that Markle, who left the royal family with her husband in 2020 due to alleged racism and indifference toward her mental health, “added more toxicity and stress to the queen’s last year” alive “than anyone.”
“We don’t like you,” Kelly doubled down Thursday. “And no amount of posting videos that you think are going to humanize you will make us like you. You’ve already shown us your true colors. We know who you are. You helped kill the queen.”
