The palace doesn’t seem thrilled about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming tell-all with Oprah, and it appears royal insiders may be trying to smear the Duchess in advance of its release with some suspiciously timed negative reports

Meghan Markle. Photo: Chris Jackson/Getty Images Meghan and Harry’s forthcoming tell-all conversation with Oprah is scheduled to air this weekend, and seeing as it’s the first interview the couple has granted since stepping back from their royal duties in January 2020, it’s expected to be juicy. According to CBS, Meghan will speak to “life as a royal, marriage, motherhood” and “how she is handling life under intense public pressure.

Needless to say, the palace doesn’t seem thrilled about the conversation, and it appears royal insiders may be trying to smear her in advance of its release — or so suggests a spokesman for Meghan and Harry. In recent days, some suspiciously timed negative reports have leaked to the press.

A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the Times that the claims are nothing more than “a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation.” The spokesman also noted the suspicious timing of their release, adding, “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 yhe Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years.

The statement continued: “The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.” Indeed, during Meghan’s royal tenure, she suffered “almost unsurvivable” online abuse and was often the subject of ruthless, racist coverage by the British tabloids.

Meanwhile, senior royal sources told the Daily Mail that the palace did not orchestrate the release of the complaints. Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

But the ‘duchess’ is not attempting to smear the royal family of course. I think it’s time Buckingham Palace revealed their truth about Meghan Markle.

It seems like MM has been wielding the threat of a derogatory interview over The Firm. If it wasn't the best experience, why not take the high road and make a new life? Banking on sensationalism (at select times) to establish relevancy/get publicity? Enjoy your children!

the contemptible woke weasel smears herself with contradiction, hypocrisy and and me-me Hollywood selfishness.

They certainly are! It's as clear as the nose on your face. What surprises me is how dumb they are, they tell lie after lie and later the truth comes out.

I’m certain they are. It’s not a new pattern for the “palace” handlers. Diana learned that the hard way😡

Ya think?

I mean this is not news, the reports about her behavior are quite old... and well of course they are not thrilled, RH Prince Harry literally is basically shitting over his family to defend his wife seems like Edward VIII scandal repeating itself.

It actually appears to me that the Royal Family is trying to protect the monarchy from a narcissist. Why the Oprah interview? Wasn't 'Finding Freedom' supposed to tell their side of the story?

Why does the OPRAH interview have to be when Prince Philip (Harry's Grandfather) is in the hospital? I personally think Harry showing poor judgement.

The royals need to start looking closer to home, like maybe Prince Andrew 🤔

The Palace is an employer and has a duty of care to those employees. An investigation will establish the facts and if MM is innocent of the claims then no issue. Her OTT response suggests otherwise.

Think they should be more worried having a peado rattling around the place 👊🏻

Exposing the crap, bullying, leaks, and lies, is more like it. Without the exceptionally poor behavior on the part of the royal family, British press, and 'anonymous palace insiders', none of us would be here discussing any of this. It is called accountability. Zero sympathy!

Bullying the palace staff, probably a misunderstanding between them that's all. I got to say if this is all they got then the palace staff and of course the press over there are doing the bullying .

Imagine the British royal family spending THIS MUCH TIME trying to smear Harry’s wife when the Queen’s favourite son is an alleged pedophile? Bet Prince Andrew is delighted the global spotlight is on Meghan, not him.

All bullying in the workplace should be investigated...

It appears? Can’t you state a fact in your title? They are.

I believe the negative reports existed previously, I recall having previously read about them.

Yes you dam right, it is a smear campaign against Meghan the Black Woman. I mean how dare she open her mouth.

No they are not doing that... meghanmarkleisabully meghanmarkleisabully meghanmarkleisabully meghanmarkleisabully meghanmarkleisabully

Can’t imagine this is going down well with Harry. I guess the Queen, Charles and William don’t think he is a ‘much loved member of the family” after all. If my family went after MY spouse I don’t think I would feel “much loved” any more. Harry did the right think getting out.

She's done it for herself she needs no help from the palace to smear her or him .

This is exactly what this is?

NeilDavoDavies1 aMandolinz But are silent about Prince Andrew,but never mind it's good old Prince Andrew.😂

Investigate Andrew! pedophileprince

Can’t they just leave the young couple alone for one bit!?

The Firm is in deep sh*t.

Me needs bigger diamond earrings 😂😂😂

Let's face it the Palace have previous for this sort of behaviour, seems if you marry in you should just put up and shut up. If you are born in you can buy pizza whenever you want, no sweat.

I think at this point it’s blatantly obvious what they’re trying to do

The sun routinely pay people to fabricate and write negative stories about Meghan. Just like the London Times, it is part of Murdoch media. Little to no scruples. OprahMeghanHarry

The allegations that Megan bullied staff came long before they left England . For some reason her staff kept resigning !!!!! There is a reason for that

BusayoAwe1 Nothing new. We are glad HarryandMeghan are united. OprahMeghanHarry

We are not going to let them do Harry what they did to his mum. Period.

We love you Meghan 💙

They will not leave them alone until another tragedy strikes so they can all then hide and pretend they never hounded the poor girl ... they are the bullies not anyone else

Yessssss

Lol, I thought they moved to LA bc they wanted more privacy? 🤔 Seems like they're constantly doing press. I'm not a Brit & I think MM is gorgeous but I really don't get the hype around her. Her only claim to fame is marrying a former royal.

They did. Not trying

those negative reports came out in the press 2-3 YEARS ago

freepeeper Clear as day! Who has the royal control in that damn palace? She clearly does not reign her ... disgusting like everything that ridiculous and useless institution represents!

ElizaSussex Disgusting. They wants victim to show as bully. I hope world sees who is who.

YES

FinnellAlex Yes of course they are. do they not know how this makes them look? she hasn't said a thing yet but even if she says more than they'd like, if it's the truth, good for her and Harry for taking a stand against abuse. Their openness will help many others defend themselves.

But... but... she’s a NEGRESS! *faints*

freepeeper It really makes you wonder what they did to her because they are SCARED scared

Yes! It's clear as day!

freepeeper They are not trying, they are actually smearing her. Same as the last past 4 years

Yup. Someone who works 4 the RF accuses her of something he didn't witness 3 years ago w no details as 2 what supposedly happnd, then the palace announces 2 the world that they're investigating just this after countless reports of OTHER RF membs engaging in actual awful behavior

henryscousin No shes A Fraud .Narc

Yes they're trying as hard as they can to smear her. They didn't want her in the family from the get-go, and because he put his love for her and their child before that toxic malevolent royal mafia, they're doing all they can to make her look bad. F*ck that royal family.

Are H&M smearing the monarchy?
