Specifically, it is alleged that Meghan's camp disclosed the identities of two senior Royals accused of making insensitive comments about Archie. These allegations initially came to light during Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Reports suggest that Meghan had previously accused these two Royals in a letter to King Charles, with the expectation that the letter would remain confidential. However, it is now claimed that the names of the Royals mentioned in the book could only have come from Meghan's camp, as the letter was reportedly kept securely within the King's inner circle.
Royal expert Robert Johnson expressed concerns about the ongoing feud, stating that such behavior by the Sussexes could ultimately harm the monarchy and their cause. Some sources have also suggested that Meghan intentionally maintained an indirect relationship with the media, using intermediaries to convey her messages and control the narrative. This tactic appears similar to the alleged involvement of the five friends in providing information to the press on her behalf.
Additionally, it's worth noting that Meghan and Prince Harry were previously involved in legal disputes with media outlets. Meghan settled a lawsuit for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement, resulting in a substantial donation to charity and payment of legal fees. Prince Harry is also suing a newspaper for different reasons.
Amidst this controversy, one positive aspect is that the Archewell Foundation received a $10 million donation at the end of 2021, though questions arise regarding its allocation to charitable organizations.
