Megxit Leaked: Meghan Markle Disclosed as the Source, Contradicting Previous Reports
In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Meghan Markle herself was the one who leaked information about Megxit to the media.
Christine Schirmer, the head of communications at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Charity Archwell, disclosed this information, contradicting previous reports.
According to a source, Meghan provided the information in October through Abigail Spencer and People Magazine.
However, since People is a US publication, the news did not gain much traction until Dan Wooten from The Sun reported on it.
This revelation raises questions about Meghan's relationship with the UK media.
Despite her apparent disdain for them, it seems that she still relies on them to keep her brand alive.
Even Bark Jack, a well-known commentator, admitted that their source came from Canada, which happens to be the name of Harry's first wife.
As a result, his original account was targeted and disabled.
These developments shed light on the complex dynamics between Meghan and the media.
In an article published by People, it was noted that behind the scenes, Meghan Markle is still struggling to adjust to the significant changes in her life since marrying Prince Harry in 2018 and becoming a mother to son Archie in May.
Insiders claim that the couple is eager to escape the intense tabloid scrutiny in the UK and are considering establishing a second base in the US, Canada, or Africa.
The pressure they face is mounting, and a shift is happening, according to a source quoted in People's latest issue.
The recent ITV documentary, “Harry and Meghan: An African Journey,” offered a glimpse into the pressures the couple faces in the royal spotlight.
When asked about her ability to cope with the constant attention, lack of privacy, and ongoing tabloid rumors, Meghan admitted that she had tried to adopt the British sensibility of a stiff upper lip but found it to be damaging internally.
This candid confession highlighted the toll that public scrutiny has taken on her mental well-being.
Another significant development in Meghan and Harry's story is the release of their Netflix documentary, “Harry and Meghan.”
The documentary, which aired on September 8th, revealed some explosive moments, including the couple discussing their struggles as members of the royal family.
Volume 2 of the documentary suggests that Markle became a scapegoat for the palace.
Markle's lawyer, Jenny Afia, claimed that there was a concerted effort against Meghan, with negative briefing from the palace to serve other people's agendas.
Lucy Fraser, a friend of Markle, added that Meghan became the target of stories, whether true or not, to divert attention from less favorable news.
Moreover, it has been reported that the couple received assistance from a firm in starting their new life in America after stepping down as senior royals in 2020.
Sunshine Satch's partner, Keila Thomas Morgan, shared her contacts in California with the couple when they made the move across the Atlantic.
Additionally, American filmmaker Tyler Perry allowed Harry and Meghan to stay in his home in LA.
This support played a crucial role in facilitating their transition.
In terms of public relations, Meghan no longer feels the need to rely on an outside firm.
She believes she can handle her and Harry's PR without paying a substantial amount of money.
Instead, Christine Schirmer, the head of communications at Archwell, will now handle publicity for the couple.
Schirmer, a Silicon Valley PR guru, brings decades of experience to the role, having worked with renowned companies such as Apple and Pinterest.
Interestingly, she shares a connection with Meghan, as they both attended Northwestern University in Illinois, where Schirmer earned her degree in journalism.
Christine Schirmer has been working for Meghan and Prince Harry since 2020, initially as the head of communications before being promoted to senior advisor in July 2021.
Her appointment reflects the couple's desire to have a seasoned professional managing their public image.
With her expertise and background, Schirmer is expected to navigate the challenges of media scrutiny and help shape the narrative surrounding Meghan and Harry's new chapter.
