The Truth Behind Meghan and Harry’s Deception
- Replies 23
When Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, released the first volume of their Netflix series Harry and Meghan last week, royal fans everywhere were both questioning and intrigued.
The couple made several surprising (and damning) accusations, particularly relating to racism and their overall treatment by the Royal Family.
However, the truth of the matter is, not all of the claims they made were actually supported by facts.
To the shame of royal fans, one of the most powerful accusations – Meghan's claim that she had to wear muted tones, opting against the same colour as Her Majesty or any other senior family member to blend in - went largely unnoticed until now.
Royal commentator Daniela Elsar said: 'To a royal commentator's understanding, you can’t ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there’s a group event.
'But then you also should never be wearing the same colour as one of the more senior members of the family.'
'So I was like, “Well, what’s a colour that they’ll probably never wear?” Camel? Beige? White? So I wore a lot of muted tones, but it also was so I could just blend in.’
A quick Google search will reveal a bunch of results hinting at Meghan's stylish and designer-esque ensembles in the neutral colour palette that the former Hollywood star mentioned.
However, there are also occasions during her days with the royal family when the Duchess chose to wear other colours, enough colours to satisfy her fans and oblivious royal analysts. So why did she claim otherwise?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly tried to build up a certain image of themselves, one of tragedy and suffering.
However, besides the claim about muted tones, there were also other anecdotes that didn't add up, such as her assertion that she hadn't seen her passport since heading to the UK.
Yet, Meghan was photographed travelling to Amsterdam, New York, Ibiza, and the French Riviera - so the truth remains: how did she do it?
Keeping up this charade of devastation, Meghan had told the interviewer that she didn't have a clue about the protocols planned for her during her time as a working Duchess; 'like what’s a walkabout?'.
And yet, according to one 'well-placed royal source' who spoke to The Times, this was a 'total lie' and that she was given 'a 30-point dossier, studiously researched, brimming with information and contacts for the life she was taking on.
There's also one particular interview in the docu-series that has come under question — the couple's 2017 engagement interview, which was their first official media appearance as an engaged couple.
When the Duchess of Sussex was pressed about the event, she claimed that the exchange was actually 'rehearsed' and called it an 'orchestrated reality show'.
However, BBC's Mishal Hussein, who conducted the interview at the time, had a different recollection of the event, telling the media that they were simply 'asked to do an interview’.
A source who was 'engaged' in the interview was said to have confirmed Hussein's claims, stating that the Duchess 'controlled every micro-detail of how their engagement publicly went' and that 'every word of that interview was what they wanted to say'.
As if that isn't enough, discrepancies have also been exposed around the Duke and Duchess' refusal to invite the family of Meghan's half-sister to their wedding - something that has been heavily discussed in the Netflix series.
The Duchess claimed that despite wanting her niece to attend the wedding, the Royal Family's 'very small comms team' just 'couldn't wrap their heads around it', leaving her feeling frustrated and helpless.
But unsurprisingly, those closest to the couple back then say that's a total fabrication. According to multiple sources, the 'royal press team was desperate for Meghan to have more family and friends at the wedding', and that the claims made were 'a complete lie'.
These claims raise a very important question: should we just take Harry and Meghan's version of events at face value? There's no doubt that many of us are in the dark here - and it certainly seems that the only people who know the full and honest truth are those living within the Royal Family circle.
So while we don't have the answer to this one, it's something the world will continue to keep an eye on and investigate, as the Sussexes' credibility may very well be on the line here.
