MEGHAN Markle makes veiled threats hinting at a secret royal bombshell – but her plan won’t work, an expert has claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has alluded to the fact she has “receipts” that could back up her allegations against The Firm since quitting the UK in 2020.
Harry and Meghan have repeatedly trashed the Royal Family, from their infamous 2021 Oprah interview, their Netflix docuseries, the Duke’s book Spare, and his most recent explosive BBC interview. In particular, their appearance on Oprah sparked huge controversy after the couple claimed there had been conversations about Archie’s skin colour. They also alleged Meghan’s suffering mental health, during her time as part of the institution, had not been addressed.
But royal expert Jack Royston sat down with The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson and argued it wouldn’t matter if the Sussexes did plan on dropping any more bombshells.
He told The Royal Exclusive show: “The problem is with the way Harry and Meghan piled in quite relentlessly on the royals. Particularly, I do think the Oprah interview, they did botch it… it could have been done differently and better in a way that would be less toxic and destructive. The racism allegation, they have clearly tried to change it retrospectively or row it back. So, obviously, Meghan botched how she described that story.
But there’s always been this thing that Meghan’s kind of intimated that she’s got receipt, that was in the days after Oprah, one of her friends went on ITV and said, ‘we’ve got the receipts to prove everything. There was also a point where she was giving an interview and she said ‘I’ve never signed anything, so I can say whatever I want. So, she’s always had this tendency to give these kind of slightly veiled threats that she’s sitting on this bombshell.
There was one point I think they suggested they’d found their diaries that they kept during these periods. They’ve always been floating these ideas that they’re sitting on a kind of a massive nuclear warhead that they can drop at any point.”
However, Mr Royston claimed the Sussexes have become “villains” in the UK – and aren’t particularly popular in the US now either. He believed their lack of fan support would see any further allegations dismissed relatively rapidly.
The expert added how he did not think any of the royals would be “scared” of any more digs.
“Ultimately, they destroyed themselves by the way they basically relentlessly attacked Harry’s own family in a context where no-one was fighting back,” he continued. And so, they may well still be sitting on unused material that Harry says he’ll never share.
But it doesn’t matter anymore because even if they did, they’re so uniformly viewed as the villains, particularly in Britain, but even in America, they’re not viewed in this protective way anymore. So, even if they are sitting on some unexploded bombs, I don’t actually think that the royals need to be too scared of it.”
