‘Done no favours!’ Meghan and Harry’s Gayle King leak backfires as royals now ‘very wary’

He told viewers: “I think this is absolutely extraordinary.

“On the one hand, you have the Queen last week being very productive in saying that they would listen to Harry and Meghan.

“And that she was saddened about hearing from their experiences over the last couple of years.

“But that she wanted to deal with everything in-house.”

Mr Myers continued: “Now you have Gayle King sort of airing everyone’s dirty linen in public.

“The royals will be absolutely devastated that this has happened.

“I don’t think that this is going to do anyone any favours anytime soon.

“Certainly people will be very very wary about speaking to Harry and Meghan in the future if they think it’s going to be spread all over the airways as we’re hearing once again, unfortunately.”

Buckingham Palace’s statement following the interview had read: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”

Ms King gave the update about Harry’s family bonds on CBS This Morning.

She told her co-hosts: “I’m not trying to break news, but I did actually call them to see how they were feeling.

“It’s true Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too.

“The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive.

“But they are glad that they have at least started a conversation.”
