Prince Harry: Tabloid media 'radicalizes its readers' to potentially cause harm
Prince Harry sat down for an exclusive interview with "60 Minutes" correspondent Anderson Cooper Sunday night for his upcoming memoir "Spare" focused on his royal life.
Judge Judith Sheindlin, more commonly known as Judge Judy, joined the chorus of critics against Prince Harry amid the release of his memoir, "Spare," which is full of accusations against the Royal Family.
When asked about his behavior on Britain's ITV, she said as a mother and grandmother she considered such actions "disingenuous" and "unseemly."
"I will tell you that I would be furious, and I would think that child or that grandchild was a selfish, spoiled, ungrateful one," Judy said in an interview that aired on "Good Morning Britain" Tuesday. "That’s what I would feel. I’d be really hurt, I think anybody with a brain would see that it’s disingenuous, it’s biting the hand that fed you, it’s unseemly."

Prince Harry has made several shocking allegations in his press tour for his tell-all, including how the Royal Family allegedly leaked stories to the press to try and damage him and his wife Meghan Markle. The couple stepped down from their roles as senior royals in January 2020 and later moved to California.
In one of the more surprising revelations, Harry said that his elder brother and heir to the throne, Prince William, attacked him over the schism with the family, sending him to the floor and breaking his necklace. Harry also said that he and William begged their father, now King Charles, not to marry Camilla, who is now the queen consort.
While Sheindlin had not commented directly on Harry and Meghan during her "Good Morning Britain" appearance, anchors Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley said it was clear she was referring to the couple.
"Judge Judy doesn't hold back on her verdict does she... blimey!" Medley said.
"She said she wouldn't specifically talk about what she thought about… blimey. I think we were left in no doubt," Reid agreed.

JUDGE JUDY WANTS REESE WITHERSPOON TO PORTRAY HER IN A BIOPIC
Sheindlin is known for her biting, no-nonsense approach on her long-running courtroom show, "Judge Judy." But she isn't the only television personality who has slammed the prince for his candid remarks about the Royal Family.
Fox Nation host Piers Morgan said the Duke of Sussex is on a "one-man mission to dismantle the [British] monarchy" after his latest media tour.
"This year started like last year finished, with Harry whining and moaning and slamming his family and being deeply unpleasant about almost all of them while pretending that what he really wants is privacy and freedom from his family and from this institution they represent," Morgan said this week on "Fox & Friends."

"What a telling moment it was with Anderson Cooper when he asked the obvious question: ‘If you hate the institution that much and it’s so awful and this family is so terrible, why do you want to be called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?'" he added.

"Spare" hit bookshelves Tuesday. Leaked excerpts also found the prince getting candid about his drug use, how he killed 25 Taliban while serving as a soldier in Afghanistan, and how he lost his virginity. He's also revealed how he coped with his late mother Princess Diana's untimely death, saying he once asked a driver to go through the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris at the exact speed his mother was going when she died.
Several critics have called for Harry and Meghan to lose their royal titles in the wake of the scandals.
