Harry and Meghan’s Inconsistencies: New Channel Offers Different Insight
A new television channel is set to launch on June 13th, offering a different perspective on news from traditional outlets.
Mr. Neil's new venture has brought together big names from the world of news, promising segments like Wokewatch and Media Watch.
The 72-year-old is known for his forthright opinions, particularly in light of the royal fallout following Duke and Duchess of Sussex's recent interviews.
Over the past few months, the couple has been on a media offensive, starting with their landmark Oprah Winfrey interview.
They made allegations regarding race and mental health within the royal family.
Since then, Harry has lashed out and attacked the royal family, including heavily criticizing his upbringing and the parenting style of his father Prince Charles.

However, some of the claims made by the couple have been debunked by old images and comments in interviews, raising questions about the veracity of their statements.
Following its release, the Queen reportedly offered the Sussexes an olive branch, which demonstrated to Mr. Neal that the firm doesn't want to get into a slanging match with Harry and Meghan.
He said, “Whether she can do that or not is up to Harry and Meghan and whether they'll be satisfied with that or whether they'll want another pound of flesh—whether they want to drag it through the public airwaves and prints.
If they do want to go down that road—it's their choice—then they'll have to be a lot more specific than they have been to Oprah Winfrey about what actually happened.”
Mr. Neal remarked that the couple had to get their stories straight and that there were some inconsistencies in what the couple had claimed so far.
One of the biggest claims made towards the firm was that Harry and Meghan were not given any support for their mental health while active royals.
Harry said the shame he felt had prevented him from telling other members of the family about Meghan's worsening mental well-being, which contradicted his claim that the firm ignored his requests.
Yet a spokesperson for the couple told BuzzFeed News earlier this month that Harry didn't go to his family for support due to his family's lack of support and action regarding other requests, such as pleas for protection from the media.
The claim on mental health was also questioned as Harry has previously spoken about how supportive his brother Prince William had been as he began struggling when rejoining the firm after ten years in the armed services.
The inconsistencies in the couple's claims have raised concerns about the validity of their statements.
Mr. Neal's channel is expected to become the UK's answer to the right-wing broadcaster Fox News.
With segments like Wokewatch and Media Watch, the channel will offer a different perspective on news than traditional outlets.
The 72-year-old is known for his forthright opinions, which should make for an interesting viewing experience.
In light of the royal fallout, Mr. Neal has warned that the couple needs to get their stories straight or face further scrutiny.
He remarked, “Whether she can do that or not is up to Harry and Meghan and whether they'll be satisfied with that or whether they'll want another pound of flesh—whether they want to drag it through the public airwaves and prints.
