Source claims the Duchess wants to address the family dispute herself
Meghan Markle reportedly wants to offer everyone her side of the story involving her father, Thomas Markle Sr. As per a report by Closer, the Duchess of Sussex is planning an exclusive TV interview, similar to her past Oprah interview. A source explained: “It’s been a really tough and frustrating time for Meghan. She wants the opportunity to talk about what happened in her own words, rather than have others tell the story for her. She won’t be silenced.”
As per the source, this has been discussed seriously. However, the Duchess is clear that if they indeed go ahead, it needs to be the right programme, host and environment. As per the insider, the Sussexes’ team is strongly considering Channel 4 for the interview.
The source stated that picking the right setting is crucial because this would be Meghan’s second tell-all interview after the Oprah interview. She is aware that the world would be watching, and she needs to get the variables right. Moreover, Meghan is viewing this as a chance to reconnect with British people.
Neither Meghan nor Channel 4 has confirmed any interview plans. However, shortly after the allegations against her father first surfaced in October, the Duchess released a public statement through her spokesperson: “I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed” (via PEOPLE).
She explained that she was previously assured that allegations against her father would be thoroughly investigated. Meghan shared that she hopes people understand why she kept her distance from her father and prevented him from having contact with her children. She did so to protect them.
