Hollywood actor Paul Rudd has stepped into dangerous territory during his appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show, where he allegedly made comments suggesting that Meghan was unsuited for her brief role as a working member of the British Monarchy.

Rudd’s comments, which were reportedly made around 20 minutes into Rudd’s interview, sparked a firestorm of reactions from the audience and royal insiders.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is deeply concerned about Rudd’s characterization, has been working to rehabilitate her public image following years of controversy since their departure from royal duties in 2020.

Royal expert Malcolm Thornberry has suggested that Rudd’s comments reflect a sentiment that has gained traction among Hollywood elites who initially welcomed Megan as one of their own. The constant self-victimization while living in extraordinary privilege has worn thin among those who were once part of the royal family.

The controversy surrounding the portrayal of Megan Mullins as the Royal Duchess has sparked debates about her transition from television actress to the Duchess. Critics argue that Rudd’s comments were taken out of context and that he has respect for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

However, sources from The Tonight Show production team suggest that Rudd’s comments were not accidental and seemed to be a deliberate move. Critics have pointed to her struggles with royal protocol, rumored conflicts with Palace staff, and her discomfort with the constraints of royal life as evidence supporting Rudd’s characterization. Prince Harry has also been disturbed by Rudd’s comments, with Friends of the Dukes suggesting he feels betrayed by someone he considered an ally.

The controversy has already impacted Rudd’s own projects, with calls for boycotts of his upcoming films circulating on social media platforms.  Netflix executives are closely monitoring the situation, as both Rudd and the duchess have content deals with the streaming giant.

Buckingham Palace has maintained its silence on the matter, but unnamed sources within Royal circles suggest there’s a sense of quiet satisfaction at seeing Megan’s Hollywood credentials questioned by one of the industry’s elite.
