But thus far, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dropped the biggest and, some think, most accusatory bombshells in this royal battle. Get the latest on the royal family feud, from accusations to a backlash to a response, below!
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Sparked Feud With Oprah Winfrey Interview
Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from the royal family and exited England (known as Megxit), the couple has been making headlines. But their feud with The Firm truly escalated with that famous interview with Oprah Winfrey!
Among the bombshells dropped by both Harry and Meghan in that interview: Claims of royal racism as well as Kate Middleton making Meghan cry.
Prince Harry fueled the royal feud with his appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. During his appearance, Harry described his royal life as living in a zoo.
And he didn’t stop there. Harry slammed both his grandmother Queen Elizabeth and father Prince Charles for bad parenting skills.
What could happen next? Harry answered that question by starring in his new Apple TV+ docuseries with Oprah Winfrey.
Titled “The Me You Can’t See,” Harry blasted the royal family with accusations of “total neglect.” He described The Firm as discouraging any and all discussions of mental health issues, blaming his royal upbringing for everything from drug use to depression.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Accused of ‘Inconsistency’ In Royal Family Slams
As a result of all these slams, Meghan and Harry have received increasing scrutiny for their accusations.
No articles have appeared claiming that Markle and her prince have offered inconsistent claims. A recent story in BuzzFeed, for example, is titled “Prince Harry Is Contradicting Himself: An examination of interviews that Harry has given over the years shows inconsistencies and omissions in the story he is now telling the world.”
The article attacked Harry’s accusations that the royal family discouraged comments about mental health. Those slams prove inconsistent with Harry’s decision to team up in 2016 with his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton on a campaign designed to improve the mental health of their nation.
In addition, Harry credited Meghan Markle for encouraging him to start therapy. Both on the podcast and in his Oprah interview, Harry claimed that his wife sparked his decision to “deal with my past, because there was anger there.”
But an inconsistency exists in that claim as well. Harry previously credited his brother William for his decision to begin therapy.
In 2017, Harry stated in an interview that he visited a therapist after his brother told him, “You really need to deal with this. It’s not normal to think that nothing has affected you.”
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Follow Famous Celebrity Route In Their Response
The BuzzFeed article is not the first story in the media to accuse Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of inconsistencies in their recent interviews slamming the royal family. And initially, some thought that the couple would maintain silence.
Now though, Meghan and Harry have responded. Well, sort of.
With all due respect to the royal family, we noticed that Prince Harry seems to have followed the traditional option used by celebrities to respond to the media. And famous folks typically do not respond themselves to accusations in the press.
Instead, they speak their truth (or, ahem, their preferred version of the truth) by hiring a spokesperson. And that’s exactly what happened with the BuzzFeed News story accusing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of “inconsistency” in their interviews.
The royal couple’s spokesperson clarified that there’s a difference between Harry’s public mental health efforts with William and Kate versus his personal mental health struggles. As for exactly who motivated Harry to visit a therapist?
Reportedly representing both Meghan and Harry, the spokesperson clarified that yes, the prince had indeed visited a mental health professional prior to meeting Markle. But the representative insisted that treatment was not inconsistent with Harry crediting his wife for his decision to turn to a therapist.
Markle, according to the spokesperson, served as the motivation for Harry to seek out a therapist who could offer the special care the prince needed. The representative also insisted that previous therapists could not fulfill Harry’s needs.
Harry reportedly fought with Meghan when they first began dating. That battle then encouraged Harry to return to therapy and seek a different form of treatment, according to the spokesperson for the royal couple.

Oh please, this is just another way for Harry and Meghan to backtrack their lies and accusations. They named their daughter today after HM to show they want back in the royal family hoping the bank of dad will accept them and open the vault. This is just a new SPIN on their lies for they got caught thinking the world was dumb and nobody would fact check them…oh pity me is what Harry and Meghan want everyone to believe …..they RAN away from the royal family and have bad mouthed all of them since and told lie after lie and now they want something for sure, they wanted privacy yet since day 1 they have been anything but private people for they are in some ways always giving interviews and in the media tearing down what HM has done her entire life….now they have a new way of doing things…so do not turn your back on these 2 selfish entitled *d*ots and never believe a word out of their mouth. Waiting for the next lie out of their mouth…..
Meghan finally whelped and Harry and Meghan continue to tie their lives to "causes". Why does having a child have to be a political statement? And only having two children for their moral belief more is " too many" is a slap to classy Kate and William. Please go away Meghan and Harry.
This is beginning to be old hat as the expression goes…what they did to the Monarchy, they did so by Markles insistence. Harry went along with it ,,I am sure to please Markle and still mentally in his childhood years, was ok to do this..don’t young teenagers do these things…and Markle she is he one who looks in the mirror and says who’s the fairest of them all..she answers and slowly lifts her chin up and turns around and tells Harry oh yes yes, I am the fairest of them all. I deserve the best and get what I want.
The less they are written about and the less they are turned down for interviews the better we all will be and the less the Monarchy has to continually face their lies..people don’t write any news about them and DO
allow them to be left alone..that’s what they desired in the first place according to them…..yes that’s another of their lies…Harry grow up and seek more help and Megan you are a lost cause…personality disorder, or narcissistic behavior learn to understand grace and humility!
These two must be schizophrenics as well as nasisstic because whilst a couple of their characters were busy slinging vulgar accusations towards the Queen, her legacy and her loyal family a couple of their other personalities have appeared as if butter wouldn't melt, naming the latest money spinner after grandma as if nothing has happened! The Queen would have to be suffering from dementia not to see through this latest tactic. They are full of it!
It's a cute name for the baby…but….pretty nervy [not entirely appropriate] of them to use it. I wonder if they consulted with HM The Queen and asked her permission to use that name before boldly going ahead and announcing it to the world……I would hope they would at least have had the "couth" to do that much…..but where Nut-Meg is concerned, we all know she has no couth…she's rude. with no knowledge of, or concern for protocol..and she does what she pleases.
So true and love the name you have given Meghan. Nut Meg. Perfect. she is an control freek and think she is so important. sooner their titles are taken away, the better.
My belief makes me think that the best would be they publicly ask for forgiveness to the royal family, and to God. I love them , however, I don't approved their interview that brought a bad image to themselves. I imagine the children will suffer forever the consequence of their parents actions. Peace is what God Almighty ask from us, and, this only happens if we have a relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I could say this advice: don't provoke people wrath and neither God's wrath .
Finally, it's impossible not to accepts unless the pride and or arrogance come forward. Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
