The latest episode of True Royalty’s popular talk show, The Royal Beat, is now available on the streaming platform.
This week’s episode focuses on the Duchess of Sussex and her latest interview.
Sunday Times Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah and Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers are interviewed and shared their insight regarding Meghan’s interview with The Cut.
Much was discussed about the content of the interview and what some have deemed “veiled threats” toward the monarchy. The fact that Meghan mentioned how she’d kept a journal led Nikkah to believe that the Duchess of Sussex may one day write a memoir.
The main question is what she would reveal if she ever chooses to author a memoir. Nikkah said:
“[But] that phrase, ‘I have a lot to say until I don’t’ and, ‘I’ve never signed anything that restricts me from talking’… there was a very strong inference there. And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and [her] revelation that ‘when we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I’d left there’ – I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back. She’s mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir.”
Myers addressed the issue of fact-checking regarding the interview, saying that with so much fact-checking going on, Meghan’s claims are “falling down like a pack of cards.”
Historian Hugo Vickers also makes an appearance to discuss the lives of the Sussexes in the United States.
The Duke of Cambridge’s decision not to publicly commemorate the 25th anniversary of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales’s death is analysed. Nikkah shared that she thinks Prince William feels that he has publicly commemorated his mother enough. “I don’t think he feels the need to keep talking about his mother. He does occasionally reference her; we know he thinks a lot about the work she did,” she said.
Nikkah went on to add that the unveiling of the Diana statue at Kensington Palace last year would more than likely be the last time William and Harry do something together to mark their mother’s death and legacy.
