The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior royals in 2020, followed by a headline-making interview with Oprah Winfrey. Recently, the interview resurfaced in a TikTok video, where Meghan discusses the palace’s alleged refusal to assist her with negative media coverage.

She said: “I did anything they told me to so – of course I did because it was also through the lens of,’ ‘And we’ll protect you.”
