Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly considering another interview with Oprah Winfrey after former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown made claims about the couple in her new book, “The Palace Papers.”
According to a source close to the Duchess, the claims made by Brown had “gotten under Meghan's skin,” and she is eager to come out fighting with some major damage control.
The source claims that Meghan feels as though doing another chat with Oprah is the best way to change the narrative and counter all the negative claims she's read about herself recently.
She's been in contact with Oprah's people already.
Specific claims the source pointed to from the palace papers that Meghan wanted to refute include Miss Brown's account of when the Sussexes visited Australia and the South Pacific in 2018.
Miss Brown wrote that Meghan apparently hated every second of it.
She found the itinerary of engagements pointless, and didn't understand why things were set up in that way.

Instead of being excited when thousands of people showed up at the Sydney Opera House, it was very much like “what's the purpose?
I don't understand this.”
The ex-staffer said Miss Brown added that this was the representational role of the British monarchy and its traditional agenda, rather than the focus on causes she wanted to spotlight.
Such engagements are old school, yes, but create classic royal ties that bind.
During the interview with Oprah last year, Meghan and Harry covered a wide range of topics.
The series of bombshell claims made by the duo saw them being accused of severely damaging the royal family's international reputation, while others questioned the accuracy of their allegations.
In the interview, the couple claimed there had been concerns and conversations raised by a member of the family about what color Archie's skin would be.
Following his wife's allegation, Harry said that conversation he is never going to share.
At the time, it was awkward.
He was a bit shocked.
They also claimed that a rift had arisen between Harry and Prince Charles, with the Duke claiming that at one point his father had stopped taking his calls.
After their sit-down chat hit the small screen, the couple faced backlash on an international scale.
In other news, English singer John Lyden, aka Johnny Rotten, criticized Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle during an interview with Piers Morgan.
Speaking on the show, he said, “I think they've showed themselves to be parasites.”
Johnny Rotten, while giving his thoughts on the royal family, called Harry and Meghan “amazingly ungrateful.”
“If you don't want to be a public figure, then shut your mouth,” he said.
Piers Morgan is known as a staunch opponent of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
He lost his previous job after he attacked Meghan over her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in an interview with the US chat show host where they made a series of claims about their time as members of the firm.
The allegations made by Meghan Markle, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, caused shockwaves among the public and the royal family.
After airing, Buckingham Palace released a statement that said while some recollections may vary, the issues were taken very seriously and would be addressed by the family privately.
Now, the duo could be prepared to make further bombshell claims again after former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown blasted the couple in her new book.
Ms. Brown interviewed a slew of insiders and royal contacts for the contents of her recently released royal tome, “The Palace Papers.”
A source said to be close to the Duchess said that the claims made by Tina Brown had really gotten under Meghan's skin.
As a result, they claim the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were looking to come out fighting by implementing some major damage control.
