Meghan Markle in hot water: Here’s what we know
As reported by Elle, the Duchess of Sussex sat down with The Cut recently. Markle shared how she had been treated by the Royal Family and the British media.
She claimed she would have never been able to drop her children at school. Further accusing the British media of “calling [her] children the n-word,” without providing any evidence or additional detail. Meghan added that she “made a lot of effort to forgive” the Royal Family for her treatment.
A source said the “royal family is disappointed by Meghan Markle’s latest comments in The Cut magazine and on her podcast. They are distressed that she continues to publicize family matters in public.”
The source added that Meghan’s remarks to The Cut and on her Archetypes podcast led to a “loss of trust” from the royal family. Markle discussed how she had to keep doing events even after her son Archie’s nursery caught on fire during her and Prince Harry’s South Africa tour.
Meghan’s comments about why she left in part due to relentless tabloid abuse. She later revealed that she did not sign anything legally barring her from talking about her experience as a duchess.
“I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to,” she said, adding she hasn’t yet because she’s “still healing.”
Despite stepping back from her working senior royal family role in 2020, Meghan is still written about and scrutinized by the British tabloids.
The royal family has never said anything publicly since Meghan married into the family about the press’s treatment of her.
Meghan ended her interview by saying there’s room for forgiveness between her and the royals. Further adding that she has done them a favor by not saying more.
“I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive,” she said. “But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.”
