The cover story of Woman’s Day says “Meghan betrays Harry,” leading to the kind of fight you “can’t come back from.” What was that betrayal? Well, the tabloid provides a few different possibilities. Markle recently “admitted to feeding information to the authors of her biography, Finding Freedom” for one thing. She also recorded an anti-Trump video, with the tabloid saying “involving herself in an election is the ultimate royal etiquette no-no.”
Perhaps the biggest betrayal though stems from the Sussexes multimillion-dollar production deal with Netflix, which “was Meghan’s idea – Harry went along with it because he figured as an actress, she knew best” a source told the magazine.
The source added “I imagine they’ve had blazing rows over it all” because Netflix produces The Crown, which in season four focuses on “dramatizing the failure of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana’s marriage.”
In addition to the drama in the couple, the magazine also casts doubt on if the move to the United States has worked out. The Sussexes have been “slammed for being social climbers whose actions are nothing more than a slap in the face to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch,” the tabloid says.
It also says a recent Prince Harry cameo on Strictly Come Dancing was “his way of reconnecting” with the United Kingdom, and is evidence that he and Markle “don’t see eye to eye,” and that “he’s missing home.”
The tabloid throws in an unflattering comparison to Kate Middleton, saying the Duchess of Cambridge “has never been more popular,” which makes “Meghan’s blood boil.” In short, the Sussexes “are almost always fighting” over, well, everything, apparently.
This is a loaded hit piece on the Duchess of Sussex, but one that is loaded with misinformation. Markle didn’t speak to the Finding Freedom authors directly as this tabloid says. She spoke to friends she knew could talk to the authors.
That may seem like splitting hairs, but there’s a pretty big difference between talking to friends and seeking out an author. As for the election video, Markle is American. Americans have a right to discuss who they’re voting for despite whatever the royal family might think, it’s completely Markle’s right to do so.
