Royal Rift Worsens: Major blow to Meghan Markle ‘hurt and betrayed’ after bombshell ‘one-sided’ claim

Meghan Markle has received a major blow that left her “hurt and betrayed” after a bombshell “one-sided” claim, it has been claimed.

A new German documentary that aired last week, Entitled Harry – The Lost Prince, shone a spotlight on their new life as globetrotting charity ambassadors.

The bombshell show included a number of intimate interviews with the likes of former Metropolitan Police security chiefs, the couple’s Montecito neighbours, and a veteran former soldier from Harry’s Afghanistan days.

“Both Meghan and Harry feel the show is yet another one-sided take down of them and just want it all to stop,” a source told OK!.

They added: “It’s like they can’t escape their past and are still being judged on things that happened over five years ago but they know it gets people talking and makes money.

“Meghan feels hurt by a lot of people – but especially her neighbours, who she feels have betrayed her by telling people this, rather than offering friendship and support.

“It was hard for her to make this move and have the eyes of the world on them, so she needed some friends, but obviously she was quite guarded because of what she’d been through.

“Meghan is very wary of getting close to people and trusting them and this documentary has confirmed she was right.”

It also appears that the couple’s desire for privacy hasn’t done them any favours when it comes to making friends locally. Neighbour Richard Mineards features in the film, talking about the expensive lifestyle the Sussexes enjoy.

He says: “I personally don’t think that Meghan is an asset to our community… She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community. Harry has to a certain extent, because he’s quite jolly… but Meghan doesn’t seem to get seen anywhere… And you don’t see him either.”

Despite the harsh words, the source says Meghan has good reason for keeping her inner circle tight, especially amid speculation about her marriage.

According to the documentary, donations to the Archewell Foundation dropped from $13million to $2million from 2021 to 2022, and maintains the couple only officially work one hour every week on the charity.

There were also interviews with former security chiefs, including Dai Davies, a former Head of Royal Protection and a Divisional Commander in the Metropolitan Police, who slammed Harry for disclosing in his book Spare “that he had killed a number of Taliban” while serving in Afghanistan because people might still regard him as a “potential target”.

He also criticised how the couple undertake what he called their “carefully orchestrated” foreign trips, including their recent visit to Colombia for the Archewell Foundation.

“In Colombia, although there are very rich people there, the vast majority, 85 per cent or 90 %, are very poor,” he said. “And what I’ve noticed of these tours, he mixes with the upper classes.”
