Buckingham Palace is terrified that Meghan Markle might say unpleasant things about Kate Middleton in Sunday’s interview with Oprah Winfrey – but sources assure the Post that the Duchess offers only “kind words” to her sister-in-law in another way bombastic.
Markle insulting Middleton – and exposing the dirty details of his notorious split – is feared as something that would do “great” damage to the British monarchy, the British newspaper Sun reported on Saturday.
A frightened source even described the interview as equivalent to a “nuclear option” for Markle, Sun reported
But a source with knowledge of Oprah’s interview, scheduled to air on Sunday, told The Post that Buckingham Palace has nothing to worry about in this regard.
Meghan and Prince Harry had only “kind words” about Prince William and Kate, a CBS source told The Post, denying that the Oprah meeting would expose the extent of any feud between the quartet.
Still, royal observers are anxiously waiting for any bombs that could fall on Middleton’s path, mainly due to Markle’s discontent with time in the UK, which she will describe as “almost impossible to survive”.
“If she chose to speak openly about her time with Kate, then the damage that could be done to the monarchy is enormous,” royal sources told The UK Sun.
“She has the power to reveal how bad things really were between her, Harry, William and Kate.”
During the chat marathon, Markle must also discuss the breakdown of her relationship with her father Thomas Markle, who did not even attend the royal wedding.
“Oprah is likely to show Meghan clips of things Thomas said – and then ask for her answer. This should lead to some dramatic moments, ”the source told The Sun.
