Meghan McCain is ready to speak her mind without hesitation.

She?s here to cut through the noise and share her unfiltered opinions.

The former co-host of The View is prepared to provide her candid thoughts about Meghan Markle. Yes, folks, are you bracing yourself for some intense Meghan-on-Meghan drama?

?I cannot stand her,? the 40-year-old McCain declared on the February 19 episode of her digital series, Meghan McCain?s Happy Hour.

?I resonate with people I can relate to, like every other 40-year-old mom. I have no interest in her jam. I adore Princess Kate [Middleton].?

This isn?t the first instance where McCain has publicly criticized Markle. She previously expressed her disdain after watching the trailer for Markle?s latest Netflix series, With Love, From Meghan.

?Initially, I was a supporter of Meghan Markle; I found her to be stylish and refreshing. However, like many others, my perspective shifted when she exhibited a lack of respect towards the royal family,? McCain tweeted a few weeks ago.

?Now that she?s trying to reclaim her American identity, she seems to forget that Americans crave authenticity and rawness. Everything presented in the trailer feels heavily curated and disconnected from reality.?

What triggered McCain?s harsh remarks about Markle this time?

Just days prior, the mother of two took to social media to announce the rebranding of her lifestyle brand from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever.

?As ever signifies ‘as it has always been’ or some might interpret it as ‘in the same manner as always,’? Markle elaborated on Instagram on Tuesday.

?If you?ve been following me since my days of running The Tig, you?ll recognize this sentiment as a part of my essence. This new phase is an extension of my love language, seamlessly integrating all that I hold dear?food, gardening, entertaining, mindful living, and discovering joy in everyday moments.?

After watching Markle’s video announcement, McCain expressed her confusion over Markle’s intentions.

?I have no idea what she?s attempting to achieve,? the TV personality stated during her conversation with guests Perez Hilton and Mary Katharine Ham. ?This marks her ninth rebranding effort. I had to review her show and podcast, and honestly, it was dreadful?entirely uninteresting.?

In the past, McCain has shown her disapproval of Markle’s aspirations to emulate Martha Stewart.

?I would have suggested that she focus on a project that aids in providing fresh food to communities facing food deserts,? she remarked. ?She should engage in initiatives that genuinely help others rather than just serving her own ego.?

During her recent episode of Happy Hour, McCain offered Markle some advice, suggesting she should take notes from former First Lady Michelle Obama, who exemplifies authenticity.

?Michelle Obama has shared some of the best marriage advice I?ve encountered,? McCain mentioned on air.

?When I first became pregnant, I came across a quote from Michelle Obama stating, ?Women can have it all, but they can?t have it all at once.? It?s an undeniable reality that your career may face challenges when you have a child. For me, that honesty was refreshing. Meghan Markle will likely never admit, ?I can?t have it all at once.??
