Celebrity reactions to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision
People say I'm too critical of Meghan Markle - but she ditched her family, ditched her Dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William & has now split him from the Royal Family.

Not that it really matters, but I think Meghan Markle and her husband are so cool! That was a serious gangsta move. 🙌🏾 Channeling the rebel spirit of the late Diana, princess of Wales. #meghxit #RoyalFamily
