Meghan Markle’s Truth in Oprah Interview Under Scrutiny After UK Court Revelations
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing new questions about her truthfulness after revelations from her UK court case against a British tabloid.
The court found that Meghan had seriously misled them and potentially told lies in her pursuit of claims that the Mail on Sunday violated her privacy by publishing her letter to her estranged father.
This raises concerns about what she told Oprah Winfrey in her bombshell interview last March, where she aired her grievances about life in the British royal family.
Meghan issued an apology last week, admitting that she had forgotten a significant email in which she authorized a former press aide to cooperate with the authors of a flattering biography of her and Prince Harry.
The couple had repeatedly denied collaborating with the authors of Finding Freedom, but the text messages Meghan sent to the former aide, Jason Knauf, showed that she worked with him to craft her letter to her father, with the understanding that it could be leaked.
According to legal expert David Hooper, Meghan's conduct in court suggests that she has misled the judge and pulled the wool over his eyes.

If this is true, it will not come as a surprise to royal sources who reportedly advised Meghan and Harry against pursuing the privacy case.
They knew that details were likely to come out that could make everyone look bad, including the royal family.
Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, due to be released in late 2022, is also causing concern among the royal family.
Lady Colin Campbell believes that the book could humiliate them in the short term, as they will look weak by not responding.
However, she also understands why they are respecting Harry's right to write his book.
In her latest YouTube video, Lady Colin said, “The fact of the matter is, Harry has a right to write his book.
Harry is a citizen and Harry has rights.”
She believes that the monarchy is acting weak and unresponsive by not taking action against the book's release, but also acknowledges that a reputable institution cannot ride roughshod over the rights of others.
The revelations from Meghan's court case and the anticipation surrounding Harry's memoir have put the royal family in a difficult position.
They must balance their desire to protect their image with the need to respect the rights of their members.
The truth may be uncomfortable, but it is always better than a lie.
