Mishal Husain Defends Engagement Interview with Markle

Mishal Husain, the BBC journalist who interviewed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during their 2017 engagement, has publicly disputed Markle's claims that the interview was an 'orchestrated reality show'. Husain expressed her surprise at Markle's comments, stating that the couple appeared genuinely in love and excited about their future. Markle had alleged in the Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' that the interview was heavily rehearsed and lacked authenticity, asserting they were not allowed to share their true story. Husain responded that her recollection of the event differed significantly, emphasizing the couple's apparent joy and engagement during the interview. Prince Harry has also been critical of the media's portrayal of their lives, describing an 'invisible contract' between the royals and the press that perpetuates false narratives. The BBC has rejected Markle's assertions regarding the interview's nature, labeling them as 'simply untrue'.
