British Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have started a war against the royal family, making critical remarks about it in an upcoming interview with American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey. Sources at Buckingham Palace said this in a commentary published on Sunday to The Sunday Times.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, the palace and members of the royal family intend to “keep silent with dignity”, without commenting on the content of the interview, which will be shown on the air of the American television channel CBS on Sunday evening. At the same time, the possibility of retaliatory actions is not excluded if accusations against specific persons are heard in the interview.
“The answer will greatly depend on whether the criticism is directed at the royal family or at specific people,” a source told The Sunday Times. “If people are attacked, they will openly stand up for themselves. The royal family can accept and withstand such a blow, but not individuals. The royal family does not wage war, it is the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “
In Buckingham Palace, the publication was also told that Queen Elizabeth II will not watch the interview, which will begin after 01:00 London time, but the next morning at breakfast, her assistants will acquaint Her Majesty with the content of the program and the key statements of the spouses. p>
The upcoming interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which they should discuss the reasons for their decision to move to the United States and resign as senior members of the British royal family, is generating great public interest on both sides of the Atlantic. In one of the already shown short excerpts of the program, which lasts almost two hours, Markle stated that the “firm” (by this term often refers to members of the British royal family and their inner circle) played an “active role in spreading rumors” about herself and her husband.
Earlier this week, British newspapers reported that before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke up with the royal family, Meghan Markle had numerous conflicts with her subordinates. Her former assistants accused her of bullying and unfounded claims. At Buckingham Palace, they promised to investigate the allegations, but representatives of the Duke and Duchess strongly rejected them, calling them false and linking the moment of publication of the publications with the imminent release of the interview.
