Meghan Markle warning signs

Mishal Husain, a BBC news presenter, publicly responded to criticism from the Duchess of Sussex regarding her 2017 engagement interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which the Duchess labeled as an 'orchestrated reality show' in her 2022 Netflix docuseries. Husain expressed her astonishment at Meghan's remarks, stating that the couple appeared to have thoughtfully considered their future and had no indications of the difficulties that would later arise. Sources from the royal household have since suggested that Meghan's demeanor during the interview could have raised concerns about her sincerity. Additionally, Meghan reportedly felt that Husain lacked the empathy and warmth she desired, preferring Oprah Winfrey for the role. Husain's defense indicates that she believed the interview reflected genuine joy rather than a staged performance. This public exchange has ignited widespread commentary and debate about the Sussexes' royal narrative and public engagements.
