Meghan Markle was 'bullied' and 'forced' out of UK by royal family, claims expert

A TV broadcaster has sparked controversy by suggesting that the royal family "forced" Meghan Markle to leave the UK. A fiery debate ensued on GB News over the weekend when Nina Myskow, in a discussion with former News of The World editor Neil Wallis, alleged that Meghan was "bullied out of this country."

She also implicated the UK press in Meghan and Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal duties and move to the US. Neil Wallis, commenting on the media, insisted that he was never directed to follow a specific narrative regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex .

Speaking about Meghan, Ms Myskow stated: "Meghan Markle was bullied out of this country by the royal family and the British media."

She continued: "When she arrived on the scene, she and Harry, who had always been the most popular royal next to the Queen, became magical to the British public. The problem with that scenario is that, we have William and Kate, they are the number one."

Ms Myskow further added "They are the ones to take the royal family machinery forward. The point being, their popularity overtook that of William and Kate. That cannot be allowed to happen because William was the one to keep the royal family going," reports the Mirror .

GB News host Mark Dolan then rebutted Nina's comments, arguing: "They [William and Kate] haven't done any podcasts, haven't done any books, they've not done documentaries throwing their family under the bus."

Mr Wallis jumped into the conversation, remarking, "The problem we have with Nina's argument is she is forgetting where she used to work."

He then debunked widespread misconceptions about royal media relationships: "One of the great fallacies that Harry and Meghan would have you believe is the Palace dictated to the British media how these people are covered. This is nonsense and you know it."

The widely publicized exit of Meghan and Harry from their royal roles occurred in January 2020, which led them to relocate to the States that same year with their son Prince Archie, who was five at the time, and they were later blessed with a daughter, Princess Lilibet, in June 2021.
