Lisa Vanderpump has taken a swipe at Prince Harry following his well-publicised move to the US with his wife Meghan Markle.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 65, who herself hails from Britain, delivered the curt response when discussing the Duke of Sussex during an appearance at Bravocon in Las Vegas.
It comes after Harry and Meghan found themselves at risk of sparking a rift with the famous Kardashian family, after pictures of them inside Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party were mysteriously deleted from Kim’s Instagram account.
Lisa discussed the royal couple after Bravo fan Jerry O’Connell kicked off the panel by noting his wife Rebecca Romijn recently flew on a plane with Harry.
He quipped: ‘My wife said, ”Yeah, it was exciting, [but] not as exciting [as] when Lisa Vanderpump sat two rows back.”
Lisa, 65, had a quick response, chiming in, ‘Well, I’m a loyal Brit. He isn’t, right? Come on, you know, I’m telling the truth.’Â

The reality TV star grew up in the UK before moving to the US to open a string of successful restaurants with her husband Ken Todd.
Harry and Meghan moved to Calfornia after making the decision to step back from being working royals in 2020, and since then the son of King Charles has been involved in lengthy legal battles over maintaining security when they visit the UK.
Lisa said: ‘I think Beverly Hills is really my home, but I work here [in Las Vegas] so much, so it’s much easier for me to have my little Villa and Rosa [restaurants] here.
‘I love Vegas. I think it’s the playground of the world, and growing up in London, in a suburb, when you’d come to Vegas, you’d never see anything like it. I still think it’s like that. It’s innovative, it’s moving forward, I feel safe here [and] it’s got this incredible energy.’Â
Lisa was a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its first nine seasons, but has since move on to front her own spin-off Vanderpump Rules.
It comes after sources revealed Harry and Meghan have risked upsetting the Kardashian family after pictures of them from Kris’ birthday bash were mysteriously deleted from Kim’s Instagram.
People Magazine, the Sussexes’ preferred publication in the US, claimed that Meghan and Harry asked that no photographs of them inside the James Bond-themed party were published.
The publication also claimed that it understood the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ticked a ‘no’ box on a photo consent form, leading to the party images of them on Instagram being removed.

‘Kim was like ‘you’ve already been papped outside and you were at the Baby2Baby event the same night being photographed like Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton so what’s the problem?’,’ the source said, adding: ‘Kim is pi**ed off’.
A source close to Kim has denied this.
Claims guests had to sign consent forms have also since been refuted, with a source telling the Daily Mail ‘there were no consent forms’ – leading to renewed speculation as to why the photos vanished.
Kris’ Instagram post-party round-up showed a series of pictures of her with Meghan and Harry. Her daughter Kim shared a picture of herself posing with the Duchess. But these were later deleted, reportedly due to the Sussexes’ consent form.
Despite the images being deleted, the pictures of Harry and Meghan are being shared on social media and were published by several websites in the United States.
The Daily Mail previously contacted representatives for the Sussexes, Ms Kardashian and Ms Jenner about the so-called photo-gate.
Page Six spoke to a royal source that said Harry and Meghan’s decision to attend was ‘so tacky’.
A palace insider who works with the royal family said: ‘It truly shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family.Â
‘These people may be stars in America, but the pure ostentatiousness is at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.’
