From miles away, the royal family felt that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were possibly eyeing another Oprah Winfrey interview and took unprecedented actions.
As soon as the Platinum Jubilee wrapped up, Queen Elizabeth II quickly shared a statement concerning the highly-anticipated results of the year-long investigation that Markle had bullied several of her staff members.
The incidents reported by the staff members allegedly occurred when Prince Harry and Markle were residing in London and were working members of the royal family.
The Queen decided that the findings of the investigation would remain sealed.
Sources inside the Palace explained that Her Majesty made the move to protect both the staff who spoke out and Markle.
It was also claimed that Her Majesty is beyond tired of the drama surrounding Prince Harry and Markle since they moved to California.
A palace insider authorized to talk on behalf of the royal family said this about the decision to bury the result of the inquiry: “It was damage limitation, protecting the royal family and also the Duchess of Sussex. The Queen feels there has been enough drama around the Sussexes, and she wants a line to be drawn.”
A royal expert claimed that Her Majesty might have found a brilliant way to deny Prince Harry and Markle from getting more ammunition to share with the media.
Royal author Duncan Larcombe said that the seniors in Buckingham Palance, including the Sovereign, were running scared that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were going to use the revelations in the report to “play the victims” in yet another sit-down with Oprah.
“Meghan and Harry could “play the victim” and have another Oprah interview,” a royal expert has claimed.
Larcombe said that the Queen is holding on to the results of the inquiry into allegations that Markle had bullied members of her staff at Kensington Palace to prevent her and her husband from sharing their side of the story.
He stated: “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.”
He added: “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 that 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.”
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might have been forced to hit pause on the Oprah sit-down, nothing is stopping them from sharing their thoughts on the Queen’s decision to bury the findings in Prince Harry’s upcoming tell-all book.
