Meghan Markle was deeply upset by Prince William’s forceful statement, as revealed by her spouse, Prince Harry. Harry recounted the incident in their Netflix documentary series, where he discussed William’s reaction to accusations of driving them away from the royal family. Harry expressed his sorrow over the rift between him and his brother, understanding William’s position due to his royal obligations.
The situation escalated when reports emerged claiming that William had coerced Harry and Meghan to leave. Harry was shocked to learn of a joint statement supposedly issued on their behalf, without their consent, denying the bullying allegations. This revelation left Meghan in tears, feeling betrayed by the family’s actions to protect William at their expense.
The statement in question was released shortly after Harry and Meghan announced their decision, with Queen Elizabeth’s approval, to step back from their royal duties and relocate. It condemned the false story circulating in the media, emphasizing the brothers’ commitment to mental health causes and condemning the harmful language used.
In their Netflix series, Harry and Meghan delved into various topics, including their tumultuous relationship with the press and the royal family’s handling of racist narratives targeting Meghan. Harry disclosed that the Palace advised them to remain silent, citing a shared belief that enduring public scrutiny was a traditional part of being a royal family member.
However, Harry emphasized the racial aspect of the mistreatment Meghan faced, pointing out a pervasive unconscious bias within the royal institution. He stressed the need to acknowledge and rectify such biases once they are recognized.
