‘Lies, Hysteria & Gaslighting’: The Meghan Markle Story

Hi, I'm Rita Panahee, reporting for Sky News Australia digital. Can we all remember a simpler time when Meghan Markle was just a model with a briefcase and wanted to be an actress on Deal or No Deal, unless she looked at suits, it was relatively unknown as we now know. That's all changed, not a day goes by without headline after headline about Sussex's latest antics and who knows what could be next for the world's most heartbreaking couple. Sky News Australia presents digital originals,

lies

,

hysteria

and illumination of Megan's

story

. Governor Meghan Markle Senator Meghan Markle or it could be God forbid President Meghan Markle, make no mistake, there's a reason the Sussexes ended up in California, the state where talentless, well-connected people can make their way in the Democratic Party in search of a political future if the reports are to be believed.

Megan could be looking for a future in politics. I don't know how that will work because I thought Harry and Megan's biggest complaint with the UK was, "You know, the press is out to get us, we have an unfair situation." press, you know we have these hit articles, they're always putting out bad tweets and when you're running for office in the US, ask Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, even someone like Marjorie Taylor Green, you have to be the damn Terminator you have You have to be able to take the hits and get back up every time you can't get on the plane and run away to Vancouver to the mansion when you get bad press, you know, so I don't know how they'll do. what to do if they run for political office here in the United States, because I even think about someone like George Santos, who is humiliated daily and made fun of on SNL all the time.

He has yet to get up and show his face and smile. I don't go off and make books and documentaries and things like that that talk about star power. This is a

story

that Meghan Markle had been paying Michelle Obama's former press secretary for advice and it is and it gives you some indication as to whether she will have any political role. Ambitions themselves, I mean, it's often been rumored if she saw herself entering the political fray again, we talk about her two star power, I love 'em or I carry 'em, they're very, very popular and everyone's talking about them, so it's again when you talk about Harry and Megan, you talk about the fact that they are world-renowned, the fact that they can do a lot in the charity sphere if we get over the noise that we've had in the last few years, especially, and does Megan see herself? entering American politics I mean, it's a great question, some people have said it's downright ridiculous, but I wouldn't bet against it on this point: does the American public want in the White House the husband of someone who openly admits to using drugs and who openly wore a Nazi uniform? costume and not only did he wear a Nazi costume but he blames his brother and his wife for wearing the Nazi costume.

Do they want someone in the White House who can't keep a secret that has proven to be so completely disloyal? I think you know that scene you showed, which is actually my favorite South Park scene. It's hilarious, but it lets you know that Harry should never have gone into detail about his private parts and he shouldn't have gone into detail about Williams. um, it just shows that this is a really immature couple and I absolutely don't think the American public will allow them the opportunity to move into the White House. This is a woman who has built her entire brand on

lies

.

Hyperbole and some might say are the perfect prerequisites for a politician. I would say the opposite in 2017, during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement interview on the BBC, it was stated that the princess didn't really understand royalty because I'm from the United States. I didn't grow up with the same understanding of the royal family and although I now understand very clearly that there is a global interest there, I didn't know much about it and the only thing I asked her when she said she wanted to prepare us was that I had a question which I said yes. she was nice because if she wasn't nice she just wasn't nice it didn't seem like it made sense It didn't take long for these claims to be disputed Megan is made of Honor at her first wedding responded with this character assessment and fact check.

All I can say now is that I think Megan was calculated, very calculated in the way she handled people and relationships, she is very strategic in the way she cultivates circles of friends once she decides. You are not part of her life, she can be very cold. I know the royal family was something she found fascinating. She had one of Princess Diana's books on her bookshelf and even when she was with Trevor she told me that she wanted to leave and stay. London for at least a month. I was shocked or even surprised to hear about Prince Harry.

I know she loved The Princess Diaries movies about a commoner who becomes part of a royal family. She was very enthralled with that idea. A strong dispute from Megan. claims from the woman who was next to her during her first wedding and the claims were even questioned by Meghan Markle herself writing on her Blog the tig in 2014 little girls dream of being princesses For my part, it was all about Shira Princess of Power for those of you not familiar with the 80's cartoon reference Shira is He-Man's twin sister and a royal sword-wielding rebel known for her strength, we are definitely not talking about Cinderella, women here adults seem to retain this childish fantasy, just look at the Pomp and Circumstances surrounding the royal wedding an endless conversation about Princess Kate hmm, that to me sounds like she was actually familiar with royalty to someone who wasn't familiar with royalty The wedding was pomp and ceremony on steroids with the added A-list of Hollywood.

The guest list included celebrities like George and Amal Clooney, who it was later reported did not even know the happy couple. Sky News Australia presenter Piers Morgan also shared a similar experience with Megan. Well, I thought I loved the show she was on and I followed four of the Suits stars on Twitter, including Megan, and she immediately sent me a direct message. She is still on my DN. It's faster than the Greyhound. Do you have a very handsome United States? Yes, and they were like my companions. I'm a big fan. I am very excited. following me and blah, blah, blah, and I said cool, you know, I really think you're cool and we exchanged messages, then we started emailing each other and then he brought Rick Hoffman, who plays Lewis Litton's suits, he came to my show here.

Well Morning Britain, we sent pictures to Megan, she went to Africa, she sent me pictures from Africa and emails, she started sending me the first episodes of Suits. I was on the inside, you're on this is the inside and then she said: I'm going to go to London and see. My friend Serena plays at Wimbledon Serena Williams and I'm going to have a couple of meetings but I have time, do you want to meet? I was great, come to my local pub, handsome cab, it was Scarsdale Tavern actually in Kensington, ironically. a few hundred yards from Kensington Palace and she turned up looking like a million bucks, we spent 90 minutes together, I had pints of frothy royal ale, as you'd expect from a British man, and she had a couple of dirty martinis and we talked about life in the universe and Donald Trump and you know it all, really her days as a suitcase girl deal or no deal and I thought what a lovely person, no one in the pub knew who she was, this isn't very glamorous, but no one knew who was and left. saying, "I really enjoyed it, yes, at the reunion again, thank you so much for your time," she tweeted. "Uh, at the end of the week, great, or that day, I think, or the next day, great, seeing my friends in London, including Piers Morgan." it was like, oh cool, you know how nice it was the last time i heard from her, she's going to do ghosts, she cast you as an all-time ill-habitable ghost and then of course now we've seen dozens of other people say that they were ghosts too, all of us.

It froze, it had reached a higher and higher place and there was no place for people like us. The lies that were spewed during the now infamous 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, where a new low led to the couple having to release numerous statements after the interview. To clarify the story, no, you lied and got caught over and over again, like that scandal of Megan forgetting her own siblings. I mean, this is a very different situation than my father, just when you talk about betrayal, the betrayal comes from someone who you I have a relationship with right I don't feel comfortable talking about people I don't really know, but I grew up like an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wish I had siblings that I would have loved to have. brothers, so I'm so excited to be pregnant that Archie has someone.

This lie led to a legal case with her half-sister Samantha Markle and Megan's legal representative offered a response. Megan's answer to that question about her growing up as an only child was obviously not intended to be a statement of objective fact that she had no genetic siblings or half-siblings, but rather it was a textbook example of a subjective statement about how how a person feels about their childhood. This case has since been dismissed. One of the biggest lies in The Oprah Interview that sparked a global media storm was an accusation of racism. The Sussexes spoke of heartbreaking speculation about what skin color the children might have.

Something relatively innocent. Most people wonder what their children will be like. The great interviewer. Oprah did not notice the different accounts. of the couple Megan claimed that there were several conversations about Archie's skin color while she was pregnant, while Harry said that there was only one conversation before the marriage long before the pregnancy clarify your story how many people do we know within the royal family how many do we have examples of them being even the slightest racist, there's only one and that's Harry himself, who wore a swastika on his sleeve when he went to a costume party and absolutely attacked a soldier when he was training, who came from Pakistan now, yeah Someone needs to be called a racist, I've behaved like a racist, that's definitely Harry.

I mean, it's outrageous that they're getting it. The other thing about the racist thing is just what a member of the royal family said. They wondered what color Skin Art would be. Arch is now three years old and, you know, people could tell what color hair his dad's red hair has. There's more interest in that than other people who have dull brown hair like me, and um, it's just it's actually terrible because Megan told Oprah Winfrey that there were several conversations when Harry came over later because Megan took him up, of course. , with 45 minutes in and Harry came in at the last part, he said oh no, this was before we got married, now we have.

Have you ever heard someone say before a couple gets married what color their children's skin will be? They don't know if they are committed. If they get married. They don't know if they will be able to have children. I mean, it's stupid. It's a non-starter because you may remember the infamous interview she gave to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and at the time she was incredulous that her son Archie wasn't automatically a prince like Prince William's children and claimed at the time that she gave. the impression that this was because their son was mixed-race, which was a scandalous slander, you know, against the royal family because, as we now know, far from being a racist slight, the palace was simply following strict protocol and you know to anyone with a smartphone. in 10 minutes you can go to Google and they could have figured it out for themselves very easily so I don't understand why Megan had to insist on this point of the breed because it is well established since 1917, King George V established that all major men nine grandchildren of the Monarch become Prince and princesses, but in terms of great-grandchildren and in 2021 Archie was a great-grandson, only the eldest son of the Prince of Wales children become Prince and princesses, it was only with the death of the Queen and the rise of King Charles. that actually kind of became eligible for these titles and this is just that protocol that is developing so whether you know it deliberately or out of complete stupidity, making things out of a completely fictional image about race and I think that's quite despicable and yet we have had No apology from Sussex again for allowing the Royal Family rerun to be sullied.

I don't think there will ever be an apology. Rafe, from what we've seen, is the most scandalous of all. Harry and Megan allow claims about racism in the royals to be swallowed. family for almost two years made a six-hour documentary about it accepted a human rights award last month for fighting structural racism in the royal family all based on what they told Oprah Winfrey but now Harry decided that apparently not is what they meant at all in the interview with Oprah, you accuse members of your family of racism, norYou don't even know the British press well, they said that, right?

Megan ever mentioned if there were racists, she said there were disturbing comments about her, she was worried about the color of her skin, right? If you describe that as essentially not having lived within that family, the way the British press reacted was pretty typical. None of us believe that comment, experience, or opinion was based on racism. I would like to apologize. on behalf of the british press actually because he's an incredible village idiot and i think it's all our fault honestly it's not the fact that he was useless at school and didn't get grades that's why he's doing all this stupid shit, It's the fault of the British press.

We are responsible for everything including her Ginger hair and I would like to apologize for giving her Ginger hair, it is horrible. We should never have done it but let me make this clear on a serious point that the British racist press blamed Netflix for harassing Megan for six hours straight to get her out of our racist country driven to the top by a racist royal family, apparently it's the press. That's to blame for saying that Meghan Markle's claims of racism were claims of racism. Now this had consequences. What they told Oprah Winfrey. I was forced out of my last job presenting Good Morning Britain, a job I really enjoyed because I said I didn't believe in it.

There was no firm evidence for these claims and now they tell us that it wasn't exactly racism. That's what I suspected at the time. I receive an apology. Sharon Osborne, one of my guests tonight, is she getting reinstated to her job at CBS showed the talk because she was fired for offering support on Twitter for my right to have my opinion because apparently I had said racist things, it turned out those racist things weren't They believed Meghan Markle's racism claims, now they say they weren't talking about racism, so will Sharon get her job back? Will they return the award they won for the heroic battle against structural racism in the royal family?

We now know that there was no structural or other type of racism. The fact that Checkers was also quick to shut down many of Megan's other claims. During the interview, she told Oprah that they actually married three days before their ceremony at Windsor Castle, a claim disputed by the official who abandoned the paperwork and which led to the Sussexes themselves having to issue another statement admitting that they had not been married three days before. claimed before the mass wedding that he was effectively under house arrest and that over a four-month period he left the house only twice false false false fact fact fact-checkers from multiple publications from the BBC to the Daily Mail have debunked many of the verifiable false claims. made by Harry and Megan if Oprah's tell-all was supposed to strike a chord with the world and drive sympathy for the former working royals, then it failed miserably.

One of the strangest lies came from Megan and was from a magazine interview with the cut when she compared herself to Nelson Mandela. I just had Archie. It was such a cruel chapter. I was afraid to go out. A South African cast member took her aside. She looked at me and it's like a light. She said. I just need you to know when Married into this family, we rejoice in the streets the same way we did when Mandela was released from prison. Yes, the Duchess of Sussex actually claimed that a South African cast member told her at the premiere of The Lion King in 2019 that she married him.

Prince Harry sparked celebrations similar to those when the iconic leader was finally released from jail; However, Dr. John Caney, who played Rafiki and says he was the only male South African actor in the film, was quick to refute his claims that he had never met Meghan Markle. It seems like some kind of faux pas on his part. I have never met the Duchess at all, oh dear Megan, what a tangled web we weave when we first practice deception.
