Meghan Markle said she will not be silenced by the royals from speaking out

Wife of Prince Harry Meghan Markle said she is not afraid of the consequences of speaking out in her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, which she said thay “a lot … has been lost already”.

A second teaser clip for the heavily anticipated chat was released in the early hours of Thursday in which Meghan said she could not be expected to stay silent if the Royal Family played a part in “perpetuating falsehoods” about the couple.

The interview with the revered television host is expected to lift the lid on Harry and Meghan’s short period as working royals together before they stepped down for a life in America.

In the 30-second clip, Winfrey asks the duchess: “How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?”

She replies: “I don’t know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.”

However, Buckingham Palace will examine allegations from former aides who accuse Meghan of “emotional cruelty and manipulation”.

The probe will revisit a complaint made about Meghan in 2018 by one of her closest advisers.

The Times has reported that Jason Knauf, the Sussexes’ then communications secretary, claimed Meghan “drove two personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member”.
