The couple has been criticizing the media and accusing it of colluding with the royal family ever since they departed from the UK. Tominey revealed that Prince Harry did not respond to a request for participation in the discussion, but the panel moderator read out several quotes from his book 'Spare' before the panel began their discussion.
These included claims of "the leaking and planting of stories" and that the press had "gone to bed with the devil". Tominey expressed her desire to ask Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, about his thoughts on Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, but added that she wasn't sure if his response would be printable.
It's worth noting that Philip passed away just days after Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah. Meanwhile, at the conference, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers defended the media's coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, stating that when Meghan first came onto the scene, it was "overwhelmingly positive".
