Meghan Markle’s Negative Press
Ever since Meghan married Prince Harry, the press has not painted a very pretty picture of her. There are plenty of theories about the reason, but “Megxit” hasn’t stopped media outlets from publishing negative reports about the couple. A few months ago, Meghan was in the process of suing one UK newspaper and now she’s firing back once again.
Blacklisting UK Newspapers
According to Yahoo! News, Harry, and Meghan have blacklisted four British newspapers. They claim that Express, Daily Mail, Mirror, and the Sun publish reports that are distorted and “invasive beyond belief.” In a letter to the editors of those publications, Harry and Meghan said there would be “no corroboration and zero engagement,” The Guardian reported.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have watched people they know — as well as complete strangers — have their lives completely pulled apart for no good reason, other than the fact that salacious gossip boosts advertising revenue.”
