Prince Harry has spoken out in support of Meghan Markle after the Duchess was portrayed as the villain by critics amid renewed scrutiny of her family circumstances.
According to a report by Closer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are unhappy with the criticism directed at Meghan and believe she has been unfairly targeted.
The report claims that some commentators have questioned the Duchess’s past decisions, with criticism focusing on her relationship with her family.
Meghan has previously spoken about the importance of protecting her children and maintaining boundaries around her private life.
However, the latest reaction has reportedly brought renewed attention to the way the Duchess is discussed in public.
An insider told Closer that Harry and Meghan were upset by what they considered another attempt to turn the situation into criticism of the Duchess.
“These horrific allegations have finally come to light, and instead of showing a shred of humanity, the ghouls have found a way to turn this into another twisted attack on Meghan,” the source claimed.
The insider also alleged that critics had questioned why Meghan had remained quiet over the years and had developed what the source described as conspiracy theories about her decisions. “Meghan and Harry are absolutely disgusted by it,” the source added.
The report further claimed that the couple were frustrated by the reaction from people who had previously criticised Meghan over her family relationships.
According to the insider, the Duchess is being blamed despite the couple believing that her past decisions should be understood in the context of her personal circumstances. The source also argued that criticism had continued even after the latest developments became public.
“But now the allegations are out in the open, and it’s clear why she did that; instead of admitting their mistake, the trolls are doubling down on Meghan being the villain,” the insider said.
The source added that the criticism was particularly damaging because it was not limited to anonymous social media accounts, but also involved people with large public platforms.
The Closer report portrays Harry as standing firmly behind his wife, with the couple believing that Meghan continues to face criticism regardless of the circumstances.
However, the comments come from an unnamed source, and neither Harry nor Meghan has publicly confirmed the private conversations described in the report.
