Reports suggest that Meghan accused the two Royals in a letter to King Charles, but that letter is believed to be securely stored away. According to The Sun, a royal source told express.co.uk that the names of the Royals included in the book must have come from Meghan's camp, adding that there's no chance that the author of the book, Omid Scobie, had access to such a letter. The source pointed out that it must have come directly from Meghan's camp.
This controversy follows a senior Palace source's statement to The Sun, claiming that it's highly unlikely the names came from within the Palace, as the letter is under lock and key. The source suggested that no one within the King's circle would have leaked information about its contents, making Meghan's camp the likely source. Royal expert Robert Jobson also told The Sun that this behavior by the Sussexes needs to stop, as it could damage the monarchy in the long term.
In addition, a source revealed that Omid Scobie never spoke directly to Meghan but received her messages indirectly. Meghan ensured there were no official ties to avoid accountability. She used representatives to convey information, much like how she used friends to speak to the media on her behalf. All five friends were directed by her, and she approved their statements before they were sent to the media. This has been confirmed by several outlets and reports in the course of legal proceedings.
Regarding the legal matters, Harry is suing Associated Newspapers, while Meghan reached an out-of-court settlement with them after they lost their first appeal. The settlement included a one-pound payment for invasion of privacy, an undisclosed substantial donation to charity, and coverage of Meghan's attorney fees. It's possible that this settlement contributed to the $10 million received by the Archewell Foundation in late 2021, as none of it was donated to other charities that year.
