Brian Cox is known as the hard-headed patriarch of the Roy family on the hit series, “Succession,” and that harsh personality is as tough in real life. The actor shared some choice words about Meghan Markle’s journey with the royal family to Haute Living New York. The actor went so far as to say that Meghan “clearly” had “ambitions” when joining the royal family. He said, “The childhood dreams of marrying Prince Charming and all that s*** we see as fantasy that could be our lives in our dreams.” Although, it was clearly anything but a dream for Meghan.
Still, Cox truly believes that with a family that has as much history as the royal family, there are certain expectations. He said, “You can’t go into a system where somebody’s already been trained to behave in a certain kind of way and then just expect them to cut themselves off,” he continued, “I mean she [Meghan] knew what she was getting into.”

Cox’s scrutiny is much akin to “South Park’s” depiction of Meghan, in which the animated show lampooned the duke and duchess’ demand for privacy while remaining firmly in the public eye. Cartoons aside, however, it turns out the “Succession” actor isn’t much of a fan of the royal family either. He said, “In my opinion, we shouldn’t have a monarchy. It’s not viable; it doesn’t make any sense. F**k it, move on.” Cox is simply over all things royal.
