LOS ANGELES: Meghan Markle says Buckingham Palace is “perpetuating falsehoods” about her and her husband Prince Harry, according to part of an interview she has done with Oprah Winfrey. In the clip released on Wednesday night, Winfrey asks Meghan: “How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?”
“I don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there’s an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” Markle replies. “The Firm” is a sometimes-derisive name for the British royal family.
The clip came hours after Buckingham Palace said it was investigating claims Markle had bullied household staff in the months after her fairytale wedding to the prince. In a clip released by US broadcaster CBS earlier this week Harry — who has frequently bemoaned press intrusion — said he was worried about “history repeating itself ”, in an apparent reference to the death of his mother. Diana died in a high speed car crash after being relentlessly pursued by photographers through Paris.
