It’s time to call out Megxit hypocrisy

IT just got nasty. Very nasty. In the latest clip from their much-trumpeted interview Meghan has called the Queen and Prince Philip liars. And she’s done it when the Duke is seriously ill in hospital and the Queen is worried sick because she can’t visit him. But hey, what does Meghan care? All that matters to her is settling scores and making sure this interview makes worldwide headlines. Not just to catapult her into the A-list celebrity stratosphere that her meagre acting talents never could, but because she knows her royal revelations have to justify the millions CBS and Oprah have got riding on the global ad revenue they’re raking in. So they have to be juicy.

And calling the Queen and a sick Prince Philip liars is pretty damn juicy.

Meghan’s “truth” (as Oprah so delicately puts it) about the Royal Family is what makes her marketable so she has to keep churning out ever more lurid versions of her own twisted version of it to keep herself worth the Big Bucks.

And this is what happens when you sell your backside to the highest bidder – the bidder here being Oprah and CBS who, for their money, want shocks and drama and dirt because this interview is being sold to 70 countries.

They don’t care that it might be distasteful, disrespectful or even untrue. They don’t care what it does to the Queen, Prince Philip and the reputation of the House of Windsor. They just know it’ll sell.

So while Meghan and Harry might kid themselves that they’re in control of the tsunami they’re about to unleash – they aren’t. They’re just two greedy pawns in a game that isn’t remotely about “the truth” but about cash.

So Meghan can moan about racism – although bleating about white privilege while living in a £11million mansion is beyond parody. She can whine about bullying, about being silenced, being unhappy. She can rhapsodise about how she’s going to change the world. But she can no longer kid anyone this interview is about anything other than money and clawing her way up the Hollywood celebrity ladder. There’s something horribly ugly about two of the most privileged people on the planet wallowing in a morass of self-pity and crying “poor us” in a year they’ve earned £120million, bought a mansion and announced they’re expecting their second child.

And is Harry really going to sit by in this interview and watch his wife accuse his Gran of being complicit in a bullying regime that victimised her? As for all the snide comments from Meghan’s friends about the suspect timing of the Palace bullying claims about Meghan – they’re not suspect. They’re 100 per cent justifiable. Meghan’s going to be bleating about being bullied yet the people it’s claimed SHE bullied have never been allowed their say. But they want it now because they can’t stomach this woman droning on about “almost unsurvivable” hardship when those it is claimed she bullied might have been silenced to protect her.

Meghan says The Firm “is perpetuating untruths about her and Harry”. Actually, no – it’s hitting back with fact – and not before time.

It’s fact that in 2018 emails were written about the appalling way Meghan and Harry treated staff. It’s fact those emails claim Meghan had bullied two personal assistants, shattered

THE rather pretentious actress Rosamund Pike says she’s helped create an app that will take users on a drug-free psychedelic trip. “It’s wild,” she says. “I have experienced deep inner awareness through a totally incredible kaleidoscope of colours created by my subconsciousness.” I get much the same effect after half a dozen Aperol spritzers!

AM I the only one bored witless with Louise Redknapp’s never-ending story of her marriage break-up? There’s not a week when she’s not splattered across the newspapers, alongside photos of her pouting and posing in sexy gear, moaning about living the single life/how hard it is to find love in your 40s/how she gets dating tips from her sons/ how she wished she’d tried harder to save her marriage.

SHE’S the one who walked away from her 19-year marriage to footballer husband Jamie. That was FOUR years ago but she’s still talking about it, still doing interviews and writing books about it. She says she left him to make a new life and career that was all about her.

Well, the only real career she has is talking about her ex. She’s become defined – not by being a singer or a TV personality – but by a failed marriage. That’s what keeps her in the news, not her achievements. Louise might have thought she wanted a new life but from where I’m sitting, she’s still very much clinging on to the old one.

She needs to move on – because Jamie has. the confidence of another and drove all three out of Kensington Palace. And what it’s looking like is that those complaints weren’t pursued in order to protect them.

Well, enough of that.

I hope this salvo from The Firm is the first of many. It needs to ditch the royal “never complain, never explain” motto hoping that this couple will eventually get on with their lives.

Because what’s clear now is that their new life, their capacity to make money and their relevance depend 100 per cent on them exploiting their royal status and blabbing secrets.

But the very future of the House ofWindsor is now at stake thanks to this vengeful pair, and the royals must fight tooth and nail to protect it.And if that means fighting dirty – so be it. Meghan and Harry are!
