The battle between the British royal family and Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is in a muddy battle. Four days before the broadcast of the American talk show containing the new revelations of the Prince Harry and the couple, the allegation was raised that the Queen made a “cheap” to the royal staff. The royal family has made an unusual statement and has announced its policy to initiate an official investigation.
According to a foreign press on the 3rd (local time), the British royal family said, “We are very concerned about reports that the Duchess of Sussex (Prince Markle) harassed employees.” “The royal family does not tolerate bullying and bullying in the workplace. The HR team will look into the relevant situation.”
The day before, the British Daily The Times reported, citing sources, that Princess Markle harassed two personal assistants in 2018 while living in Kensington Palace, and caused one to suffer shame. In addition, although the secretary in charge of public affairs of the Prince Harry and his wife reported the situation, the newspaper reported that Prince Harry requested “no more digging”.
The conflict between the British royal family and Prince Harry is not new. From the moment Prince Harry declared his independence in January of last year and decided to give up his official role as a member of the royal family, the disagreement between the couple and the royal family continued.
What is unfortunate is the point of view and statement. Prince Harry and his wife recently interviewed US broadcaster Oprah Winfrey, and it is observed that the content of this interview, which will be aired in the United States on the 7th, includes backstory that has not been known, such as racism and harassment that Queen Markle suffered in the royal family. The analysis around the royal family is that the royal family, who was worried about image damage, launched a preemptive attack.
The British Daily Guardian commented, “This news is the result of an attempt to crush Meghan before the interview broadcast next week,” and “shows that the conflict has intensified after the couple left the royal family.” In the preview video of the interview that was released in advance on that day, Queen Markle claimed that the royal family was trying to make a lie about these couples.
The fact that the royal statement came out less than 24 hours after the content was reported is also a testament to the fact that their conflict is sharp. The Washington Post in the US evaluated it as “a surprise considering that the royal family has not even commented on the scandal.”
