Meghan Markle's critic finally breaks silence on royal exit
Meghan Markle has often made it clear that she did not enjoy life as a duchess. She criticized not only members of the royal family but also the media. She probably did not expect someone to question her revelations publicly. That day has come.
Even though Meghan Markle was an actual royal family member for quite a short time, her British past still follows her. She also willingly monetizes this episode of her life. For example, in the documentary series for Netflix, which premiered in 2022, the former duchess, together with Prince Harry, loudly criticized royal practices and some people from their close circle.
Two years ago, Mishal Husain—the journalist who conducted the first interview with the Sussexes after their engagement—was among those who took a hit. According to a Daily Mail source, Markle believed Husain was not empathetic enough. Meghan also regretted that the interview was not conducted by Oprah Winfrey. She got her wish a few years later.
Journalist criticized by Meghan Markle responds
Husain held back from giving a detailed response to the princely criticism for a long time. It was only two years after the Netflix documentary premiered that she decided to give a longer comment.
When the Duchess of Sussex said that my engagement interview with her and Harry was a "staged reality show", I didn't know what to think about it. It seemed they had thought through how their new life would look and what significance marriage would have, especially for her life - writes the journalist in the August issue of "Saga" magazine.
As she adds, she did not expect that over time the story of Harry and Meghan would turn out to be so winding and bumpy.
They were two people full of joy with themselves and life - we read.
Did Meghan Markle lie?
After the Sussexes' series aired on Netflix, BBC Director-General Lord Hall (involved in the production of the interview) commented on Meghan's criticism, stating that suggesting the conversation was staged is "simply not true".
Memories may vary. But I definitely remember being asked to conduct the interview, and I did - Mishal Husain later said on the "Today" program.
Do you think Meghan and Harry will ever start building their personal brand without cashing in on the royal connections?
