April 2020 — On Harry and Meghan’s ‘Terrible Timing’ of Cutting Ties With British Press

The America’s Got Talent judge didn’t hold back when she expressed her feelings on the letter Harry and Meghan wrote to British tabloids about cutting off all ties with them.

“Firstly, I think the timing is really, you know, terrible to do something like this,” Sharon said during The Talk on April 22. “The thing is, cut yourself off, you can cut yourself off without sending a letter. You refuse all interviews. It’s an easy thing to do, but you can never stop the paparazzi from selling pictures to the papers.”

“That’s the way the world works these days regarding the press,” she continued. “So, they can’t do that, but just when they were really nice, low-key doing their thing, doing their charitable work and then they go and send a letter like the one they sent. I’m like, I just don’t get why they needed to be so public about it.”

However, the red-haired beauty does understand the pair’s frustration. “I get the way they’re heartbroken by the way they’ve been treated in the press,” Sharon explained. “They way they feel they have, but it would have been better to say nothing and carry on.”

March 2020 — On Harry and Meghan’s Decision to Move to L.A. From Canada

The Osbournes alum couldn’t help but make a comment about Harry and Meg’s choice to move to L.A. in February. The pair relocated to the U.S. after living on a private island in Vancouver, Canada, since early 2020.

“I can’t quite believe that they actually moved to California,” Sharon revealed while video chatting with Marie, Carrie Ann Inaba, Eve and Sheryl Underwood on March 30, adding “it’s just so alien to me to think of the prince living here.”

The mom of three even admitted she’s “kind of disappointed in a way that Harry would end up” in America. “If they were fed up with the press in the U.K., they’re really gonna be fed up with press living in L.A.,” she joked.

“It’s like me going to the Antarctic looking for Chanel,” the X Factor judge continued. “It’s like, ‘What are you doing in L.A.?’ … I hope they move somewhere like Santa Barbara or somewhere like that, so they can have somewhat of a normal existence. But if they were right in L.A., the center, it would be a nightmare for them with the press. They would have no life at all.”

January 2020 — On Harry’s Public Announcement About Leaving His Royal Family

Like his mom, Jack Osbourne also sounded off on Meg and Harry’s royal relinquishment. However, the Portals to Hell star added a bit of humor in his message to the handsome duke.

“Listen Prince Harry, if I can survive my family, you can survive yours,” Jack jokingly tweeted in January, referring to his beloved mom, dad Ozzy Osbourne and sisters Aimee Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne.

January 2020 — On the Royal Couple’s Shocking Choice to Leave London and Relocate to North America

While chatting about Meghan and Harry’s big decision, Sharon pointed out some consequences of leaving their family and moving to North America.

“Remember one thing, Meghan has chosen to go through life without her family, just her mom,” the TV personality said on the talk show earlier this year. “Now, if you alienate your royal family, your child will grow up with just you and one grandma. And that is not a good idea for anyone.”

Sharon added, “Meghan wants to go back into the public eye and into what she knows, and that’s being an actress … and her celebrity friends, fine. … In good time.”

November 2019 — On Prince Andrew’s Controversy and His Decision to Step Back

Following the news of Andrew’s scandal in November 2019, Sharon offered her opinion on the royal’s choice to step back from his senior role in the queen’s family.

“This situation is that the leading members of the royal family are all on a wage from the government, because they do service for the country … they are meant to do so much charitable work for the country,” Sharon said on The Talk. “But they, being the royal family, are meant to be a family of high moral fiber. And they are meant to be an example for the rest of the country to follow.”
