But they are glad they at least started a conversation. ‘

Royal writer Anna Pasternak told Fox News that it could be difficult for anyone in the royal family to contact Markle, 39, for fear the talks might leak to the press.
Pasternak had previously written about the other American divorcee who was married to a royal for a book entitled “The Real Wales Simpson.” The British author traced Simpson’s last remaining intimate friendship that sought to set the record of her controversial life.
“They do not trust her,” Pasternak claimed. “They do not trust that if they come in contact with her, it will not be reported by CBS. You can not go on international television, has an audience of nearly 50 million people worldwide, but basically the royal family and then expect that they will reach out in good faith. It just will not work. It would be naive to think that this interview would prompt the royal family to immediately think, ‘Our institution is wrong. We are completely outdated. We need you to help modernize us. ”
“Well, that would never happen,” Pasternak continued. “The reason why the British royal family – the House of Windsor – survived is because they were quite ruthless in their mode of survival and that they adhered to the same traditions and protocols. Harry admitted that he said: ‘My brother and I dad was caught ‘because he knows nothing is going to change.’

King told the audience that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite their differences, hope the families can heal one day.
‘I think it’s frustrating for them to see that it’s a racial conversation about the royal family when all they wanted all along was for the royals to intervene and tell the press to stop doing the unjust, inaccurate, false stories that definitely have a racial slant. , ‘King explained.
“And until you can admit it, I think it’s going to be hard to move forward,” King said. “But they both want to continue with this and they both want healing in this family. At the end of the day, it’s Harry’s family.”
Piers Morgan immediately went to Twitter where he responded to King’s comments.

Hello @GayleKing – rather than acting as your PR mouthpiece of your Sussex friends to ease their ongoing public waste of our royal family, how about you working as a journalist and asking them about all the lies they told in @ Oprah’s interview? ” the former “Good Morning Britain” host tweeted. “America must hear THE truth.”
On March 7, CBS aired a two-hour interview that Harry (36) and his wife had with Oprah Winfrey. The Duke of Sussex revealed during the television output that his relationship with his father (72) and older brother (38) had broken down.
Markle describes her as so isolated and miserable within the royal family that she had suicidal thoughts. The Duchess of Sussex also claims that a member of the royal family has ‘concerns’ about the color of the skin of her unborn child.
The family member, according to Harry, was not Queen Elizabeth II (94) or Prince Philip (99), which sparked a wave of speculation about who it could be.

Harry also told the media magnate (67) that the royal family cut him off financially at the beginning of 2020 after he planned to resign from his roles. But he was able to afford security for his family because of the money left behind by his late mother, Princess Diana.
“While researching my book about Wales Simpson, one thing fascinated me was that nothing had changed as far as the royal family was concerned,” Pasternak said. “As much as you want to be this amazing, modernizing figure, no one is going in to shake up the House of Windsor completely.”
Pasternak noted that when the network first announced the presentation on February 15, it revealed that nothing would be out of order during the comprehensive interview. However, she wishes Winfrey Markle would have asked more about her family.
“We definitely hear a lot about Harry’s family, but what does Meghan’s relationship with her father look like? Why is there so much division in her family? Why was there only one family member at her wedding? It was extraordinary. Meghan appears to be an emotional “Intelligent, bright young woman. What’s going on then?”

In tracks that were not originally aired, Winfrey did ask the Duchess about her relationship with her estranged father Thomas Markle and half-sister Samantha Markle.
“There was such an obsession with anything in my world, including locating my parents, and I did everything I could to protect both,” Markle explained.
According to the former American actress, British tabloid newspapers offered people large sums for her father’s address. And as soon as he was located, they immediately ‘descended’ on his small town where they encouraged him to speak.
When Winfrey asked Markle about Samantha, who recently published a ‘tell-all’ book about her famous brother or sister, the Duchess replied: ‘It’s a very different situation than my father’s, right? When you talk about betrayal, betrayal comes from someone you have a relationship with. I do not feel comfortable talking about people I do not really know. ‘
