Palace telling lies about us, Meghan says in Oprah show
Print Edition
Prince Harry鈥檚 wife Meghan has accused Buckingham Palace of 鈥減erpetuating falsehoods鈥 about her and her spouse, saying they would not be silent in telling their story.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, made the comments to American talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an interview about why they quit their royal roles.
An advance excerpt of the interview was released on Wednesday, hours after Buckingham Palace said it was 鈥渧ery concerned鈥 about reports in the Times newspaper that assistants working for Meghan two years ago had been bullied by her.
Harry and Meghan issued a statement denying that she had bullied anyone.
鈥淗ow do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?鈥 Winfrey asks.
Meghan responded: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 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.鈥 The Firm is the name that royal family sometimes uses to describe itself.
鈥淎nd if that comes with risk of losing things, I mean, there鈥檚 a lot that鈥檚 been lost already,鈥 Meghan added.
The interview was recorded before The Times newspaper ran a report citing unnamed sources as saying an aide to Harry and Meghan had raised a complaint in October 2018 alleging she had reduced some of her assistants to tears and treated others so badly they quit.
The Times said it had been contacted by former staff who wanted the public to gain insight before the Winfrey interview aired 鈥 and that lawyers for the couple had labeled the allegations a smear orchestrated by the Palace.
鈥淲e are clearly very concerned about allegations in The Times following claims made by former staff of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex,鈥 Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The Royal Household 鈥渄oes not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace.鈥
