The
royal drama continues to intensify and the latest promo of the Oprah interview
has only added fuel to the raging fire. It seems like Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle are officially at war with the Buckingham Palace, and are now coming at
the forefront with their accusations.
In
the latest promo, Oprah asks about the reaction of the Royals on Meghan
speaking her truth to which Meghan says: “I
don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still
just be silent if there is an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating
falsehoods about us. And if that comes with risk of losing things, there is a
lot that has been lost already.”
The
interview that was shot last month will be aired on March 7, 2021, right before
Women’s Day 2021. The latest promo of the interview is timed well, as it’s
dropped right when the UK is swarmed up by the media. The first two promos that
were dropped on Sunday show the Prince (thankfully!) siding with his wife and
saying that he just couldn’t watch history repeat itself.
Although
the Sussexes have claimed that it’s a smear campaign against them, The Times of
London has alleged that Meghan Markle has bullied some of the royal aides in
2018. Why did this allegation rise right after the promos of the Oprah
interview released?
Planned
or not, but in the first two promos only Harry and Oprah can be seen speaking.
At one point, in fact, she points that Harry has some shocking things to say.
Oprah
Winfrey did ask Meghan Markle a question that we all have been wondering: She
asked whether she was silent or silenced. Of course, we’re sure that they will be
asked about their decision to leave the UK and what really became a breaking
point for the couple.
Nobody
expected Harry to give a reference of his globally loved mother, Princess
Diana. But that’s the thing about this interview: he not only said that he
wouldn’t let history repeat itself, he also threw shade at his own father and
said that he’s “relieved and happy” to be sitting next to his wife because he
can’t even fathom what Diana must have gone through i.e. having no support from
father or the rest of the Royal family – confirming what we’ve always known.
“At least we have each other.” – He said.
According
to CBS, Oprah will be asking Meghan about everything – from how her life
changed after she stepped into the Royal life to the intense public scrutiny
and media pressure.
The
legendary interviewee also asked Prince Harry about his experience living in
the United States and what plans he has for the future. It’s been a year since
the couple moved to the United States and become independent from the Royal
family.
After
their move to the US, the couple has signed lucrative deals with Netflix and
Spotify meanwhile the Queen has stripped them off their royal patronages – it took
them one year to do so.
Initially,
the couple stepped back from the spotlight while still having retained some
privileges. However, the “half-in, half-out” approach is just not appropriate
for the protocols established for the monarchy.
The
two-hour interview is slated to go on air on Sunday, March 7th from
8 to 10 p.m. The show is produced by Harpo Productions, and Terry Wood and Tara
Montgomery are serving as the executive producers.
Prince
Harry and Meghan Markle can be seen expanding on their narrative – the evident
racism and constant attacks on Meghan’s character, something that hasn’t
stopped even after they moved to the United States. In fact, the minute the
promos of the interview dropped, the Duchess was viciously attacked again as
publications started claiming that she had bullied two Royal aides in October 2018.
Apparently,
The Duchess of Sussex has forced two personal assistants to leave their
positions and that negatively influenced another palace employee.
By
Wednesday, the Buckingham Palace announced that it will be starting an
investigation and looking into the circumstances that have been outlined in the
article. According to the official statement, the Palace would not have any
policy that accepts bullying.
In
response, the Sussex have said that it’s a calculated smear campaign based on
nothing but misleading and harmful information.
“We are disappointed to see this defamatory
portrayal of The Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet. It’s no
coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining
The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The
Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent
years.”
It
seems like The Crown isn’t the only show cooking up a storyline, the British
publications are always one step ahead.

Don’t
know about you but the Meghan Markle bullying allegations seem baseless so it’s
a serious request to not jump on the bandwagon and start supporting the Royal
aides claims. We can’t trust Jason Knauf, former aide, as yet because we all
know how much Meghan supports Cambridge’s charitable foundation.
