Sharon Osbourne described Prince Harry as the "poster boy" of white privilege while appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Page Six reported.
In a wide-ranging interview, the 68-year-old television star discussed her departure from the CBS daytime talk show "The Talk" and the accusations leveled against that she is racist.
The outspoken host left the show last month after an on-air argument with co-host Sheryl Underwood about Piers Morgan's controversial criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Returning to the topic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once again, Osbourne said: "You know when they say white privilege? You know, right there with Harry. Right there. He is the poster boy."
White privilege is "the unearned, mostly unacknowledged social advantage white people have over other racial groups simply because they are white," according to Dictionary.com.
Osbourne continued to criticize Prince Harry. She said: "So you know, he sits there and says 'daddy cut him off and he's not on the wages anymore,' and he was boohooing about it."
Osbourne continued: "You can't feel empathy for that because you're a healthy, bright, educated young man. You can do whatever you want to do. Your life is your own."
Addressing the racism allegations against her, Osbourne told Maher: "I've been called so many things in my life. I am so used to being called names. But a racist is one I will not take."
