Meghan Markle news: Duke and Duchess of Sussex may use ‘SYMPATHY card’ in potential new Oprah interview
MEGHAN AND HARRY could “play the victim” and have another Oprah interview, a royal expert has claimed.
GeoTV reports that according to Duncan Larcombe, if a report from Buckingham Palace reveals that the Sussexes bullied members of staff, then they could have another bombshell interview to explain their side of the story.
He says: “For Jason Knauff to take that risk of reporting to Prince William, his ultimate boss, concerns he had about his staff and the treatment of them at the hands of one of the members of the Royal Family.
“That is not only unusual, but within the Queen’s reign this is absolutely unprecedented.
“I think the reason they are not publishing any of this is because the Palace is running scared of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“I think they know that if they publish the report, the next thing that will happen potentially is for Harry and Meghan to play the victim and go on Oprah and cause another world of pain.”
