Lynda McLaughlin made the remark on the conservative host's radio show.
A producer for Sean Hannity’s radio show told the host Tuesday that Meghan Markle was “very uppity” for failing to participate in a meeting with other royal family members.
“I didn’t like that Meghan didn’t even get on the phone as she was in Canada, and she was invited to be a part of that meeting,” Hannity said. “That I didn’t like. That, to me is ... ” Hannity replied that he didn’t care about the couple’s politics, then made a few digs at “liberals” and the U.K.’s tax and health care policies.
McLaughlin’s choice of words carried racist overtones. “Uppity” has often been used by white southerners to describe Black people who “didn’t know their place.” And it’s often followed by other racist slurs. Markle, whose mother is Black, has sometimes been subjected to bigoted treatment by the tabloid press in the U.K.
