Meghan Markle, the bombshell interview and the statements that do not convince
The shock interview continues to pour rivers of ink. Many voices from the Sussex side, just as many that question various statements of the actress. Like the matter of her passport that was allegedly "seized" from the Palazzo in 2016. So how do you explain her 13 (private) trips abroad?
The bombshell interview granted by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Oprah Winfrey continues to pour rivers of ink. There are many voices lining up on the Sussex side, just as many that question various statements by the former actress. Markle, among other things, publicly complained that, as soon as she started dating Harry, Buckingham Palace "seized" her passport. It was 2016: "I haven't seen him since." Her ID would only be returned to her after the Megxit.
Yet after she began dating Prince Harry, she points out Page Six filming the Sun, the Duchess made 13 trips abroad. Not royal tour. Personal trips, as a tourist, in which she traveled half the world: from New York to Ibiza, from Botswana to Italy, from Nice to Amsterdam. And each time, in order to fly out of London, she must have inevitably presented her passport.
Royal correspondent Margaret Holder explained to the Sun that "Meghan's passport - like the documents of all members of the royal family - was certainly kept in a safe at the Palace so that she would not fall into the wrong hands." But of course she "was available to her for travel abroad".
The royal family "naturally wanted to keep Meghan's passport safe. But it is unthinkable that the actress did not have him with her when she made her many personal and private trips ". For example, the romantic holidays in Botswana with Harry in 2016 and 2017. Or the holiday on Lake Como, guest of the Clooney family together with the new husband, after the 2018 royal wedding. without Harry, to visit his closest friends. Or, in 2019, a trip to New York for her baby shower.
Something in Meghan's television story doesn't add up. As the historian Robert Lacey, consultant of the Netflix series The Crown, pointed out to the BBC, Markle with the story of the "seized" passport wanted to make people believe she was "trapped and isolated" in the Palace, when in reality "she could access her document whenever he needed it. " And she apparently did it herself. Thirteen times, according to the (documented) calculations of the British press.
The statements of the Duchess undoubtedly have dark sides. But of her accusation of her more serious than her to the royal family - the accusation of racism - Meghan would have evidence of her. This was assured by actress Janina Gavankar, one of Markle's best friends, during the British TV program This Morning: "Meghan keeps e-mails and messages that show that she was telling the truth about the racism of the British royal family."
