Meghan resurrects ‘n-word’ claim in new attack on Royals

In a breathtaking provocation, the Duchess tells a US magazine Harry feels ‘he’s lost his dad’.

Meghan Markle has launched yet another extraordinary attack on the royal family, claiming that Prince Harry feels he has “lost his father” and alluded to members of the Royal Family describing her children using the “n-word”.

And in her latest attack on Buckingham Palace and her husband’s family, Meghan has declared she is now free “to say anything”.

In a breathtaking provocation, Meghan, 41, says that Harry feels he has “lost his dad”, and compared the relationship of Harry and Prince Charles akin to the inexplicable breakdown with her own father, Thomas Markle.

But the most serious claims are Meghan’s amplification of allegations first made on Oprah last year that an unnamed member of the royal family was racist. At the time she erroneously claimed that Archie wasn’t given a title because of his skin colour.

In the fallout of that controversy, the Queen announced that “recollections may vary” and Prince William denied the royal family was racist.

In her latest interview, given to The Cut, a US based magazine in which she was the cover story, Meghan unloaded that there were people – alluded to be in the royal family or even among the royal press pack – who were calling her children the “n-word”.

She explained that the royal protocol of providing a photograph of her child to the royals for public distribution didn’t make sense.

“Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the n-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?” she told The Cut.

“You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game.”

Meghan's interview was the cover of The Cut magazine.

She claims it a has taken “a lot of effort” on her behalf to forgive them.

The journalist who conducted the interview, Allison P. Davis, tellingly revealed that Meghan would make noises throughout the interview, before telling her how to interpret them.

Ms Davis writes: “At one point in our conversation, instead of answering a question, she will suggest how I might transcribe the noises she’s making: ‘She’s making these guttural sounds, and I can’t quite articulate what it is she’s feeling in that moment because she has no word for it; she’s just moaning’.’’

Meghan’s relentless swiping at the Royal Family now makes it highly unlikely that she and Harry will get a chance to meet the Queen when they arrive in Britain on September 5 for some charity events.

Several of Meghan’s claims in the magazine article have rapidly inflamed tensions, especially in airing details of the strained relationship between Prince Charles and Harry.

“Harry said to me, ‘I lost my dad in this process. It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision,” said Meghan, who is estranged from her own father.

Harry has never met Thomas Markle, who was unable to attend the royal wedding after suffering a heart attack. Mr Markle has been ghosted by the couple ever since because he had co-operated with a paparazzi photographer to present himself in a favourable light. He has never met his grandchildren Archie, three and Lilibet, one.

Meghan compared Prince Harry’s relationship with Prince Charles with that of her and Thomas Markle.

Meghan has claimed to the journalist that she was given no training to be a duchess, although palace courtiers went to extraordinary lengths to help guide her. One of her mentors at the time was one of the Queen’s favourite aides, an Australian, Samantha Cohen.

But in the article Meghan moans about a lack of advice saying: “That would’ve been really helpful. That would’ve been a very key tutorial to have had in advance of all this.”

Now, however, Meghan says she is full of joy, although “still healing”.

Asked by Ms Davis whether “there is room for forgiveness between her and her royal in-laws and her own family”, she replied: “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive.

“But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.

“I have a lot to say until I don’t. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.”

“I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.”

Meghan continued to complain about the circumstances around Megxit, and how they offered to move to another Commonwealth country, wanting to work, but remain part of the Royal family.

“Anything to just … because just by existing, we were upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy,” Meghan said putting her hands in the air in mock defeat.

“So we go, ‘Okay, fine, let’s get out of here. Happy to’.”

She also insisted that at the 2019 London premiere of the The Lion King a cast member from South Africa pulled her aside. “He looked at me, and he’s just like light. He said, ‘I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison.’ ”

Harry made a brief appearance mid interview, and it was revealed that he helps fix some of the plumbing issues at the ir A$20m Montecito mansion.

Harry had noted that Meghan had been absent for much the day earlier on the photo shoot for the magazine.

The Cut reported his marvelling at his wife: “You were gone for, like, ten hours yesterday. Tell her the first thing you said when you got back last night. She said, ‘I’m not a model.’ I was like, ‘No, you are, of course you can be a model.’ And she’s like, ‘I’m a mom!’ And it’s like, ‘You can be both,’ ” Harry said.
