Prince Harry and Meghan’s Story About Their Relationship Doesn’t Add Up and This Person Is Mad They Brought Them Into the ‘Lie’
After stepping down from their roles as working royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told their story about what life was like for them as members of the royal family.
The couple also spoke about their relationship and how they met. But somewhere along the line the story of how they got together completely changed, which is something that has left fans scratching their heads. It also “riled up” someone who thought the Sussexes were being truthful.
Prince Harry and Meghan changed the story about how they met
After Meghan and Harry announced that they were engaged in 2017, the pair sat down for a joint interview with BBC journalist Mishal Hussain.
When she asked how they met the prince explained: “We were introduced, actually, by a mutual friend — we’ll protect her privacy — but it was literally through her and we met once and then twice, back to back.” Hussain then inquired about if it was a set-up to which Meghan replied: “Yes, it was definitely a set-up — it was a blind date.”
However, in their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan the two told a different tale about how they met saying it was through Instagram.
“Meghan and I met over Instagram,” the duke shared in the docuseries, adding, “I was scrolling through my feed and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, like a Snapchat.”
When the mutual friend told Meghan that Harry wanted to meet her, the former Suits star–who previously said she had never done any research on the prince–asked to see his feed. The pair then exchanged numbers and from there started FaceTiming each other.
Many fans were taken aback after that admission and took to social media writing: “I am really confused. In their engagement interview they said they’d met on a blind date. Now they say it was on Instagram. Which version is true?” and “Meghan’s definition of blind date is scrolling through their Insta first … So not too ‘blind’ then. They met on Insta, now their whole life is an Insta Story, every second photographed and filmed and curated.”
Interviewer slams couple saying ‘recollections may vary’
But it wasn’t just fans who were confused, imagine how Hussain felt after conducting an interview where Meghan and Harry sat right in front of her and told a totally different story. Meghan later claimed that the interview she and Harry did with Hussain was an “orchestrated reality show” and that they “weren’t allowed to tell our story.”
And that’s when the BBC journalist hit back at the Sussexes borrowing some words from the late Queen Elizabeth saying, “We know recollections may vary on this particular subject, but my recollection is definitely very much: asked to do an interview and do said interview.”
In 2024, Hussain told Saga magazine: “When the Duchess of Sussex said that my engagement interview with her and Harry was an ‘orchestrated reality show’ I didn’t know what to make of it. They seemed to have thought through what their new lives would be like and what marriage would mean for her life in particular.”
Tony Hall, who was the director general of the BBC at the time, insisted that Meghan is the one who’s lying as her allegations are “simply untrue” and “Mishal is not easily riled, to put it mildly, so this is a notable intervention.”
