Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have found themselves under intense scrutiny from the French media in the aftermath of their recent public appearance and Meghan’s court case, according to British journalist Peter Allen.
While Meghan received praise in the US for her casual chat with comedian Ellen DeGeneres, the couple faced heavy criticism for their recent controversies.
The latest issue of the popular French magazine Paris Match features scathing headlines targeting the Sussexes, particularly focusing on Meghan’s recent court apology for a misleading statement.
Paris Match, with a substantial circulation and a significant social media following, has taken a critical stance against the royal couple, a departure from their previous positive coverage.
British journalist Peter Allen highlighted the shift in tone, noting the harsh treatment Meghan and Harry are currently facing in French media circles.
The magazine’s headlines questioning Meghan’s honesty and character have raised eyebrows among followers of the royal couple.
The change in perception of Harry and Meghan is not limited to France, as noted by Sun on Sunday political editor David Wooding.
The couple’s public image seems to be deteriorating outside the UK, especially following Meghan’s involvement in a legal battle over privacy issues with a British newspaper.
The ongoing legal dispute, stemming from the publication of a private letter from Meghan to her father, has further fueled negative press coverage and public opinion.
Despite their claims of non-involvement, the Sussexes have been embroiled in controversies surrounding the book “Finding Freedom” authored by Ahmed Scobie and Caroline Durand.
Meghan’s former press secretary’s testimony revealed that she had knowledge of and provided information for the book, contradicting earlier denials of cooperation.
The revelation of email exchanges discussing the book and Prince Harry’s approval of providing context to the authors has added a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battle.
In a public statement, Meghan Markle acknowledged the oversight regarding the extent of her involvement in sharing information for the biography.
She expressed regret for not recalling the details of the exchanges related to the book and clarified that there was no intention to mislead the court or the defendant.
The admission of her role in facilitating communication between her press secretary and the authors has further intensified the scrutiny on Meghan’s actions and credibility in the legal proceedings.
The unfolding developments in Meghan Markle’s court case and the revelations surrounding her interactions with the authors of “Finding Freedom” have cast a shadow over the royal couple’s reputation.
As they navigate the legal challenges and public backlash, Harry and Meghan face mounting pressure to address the discrepancies in their previous statements and clarify the extent of their involvement in the controversial biography.
The continued media attention and legal battles pose a significant challenge to the Sussexes as they strive to defend their privacy and reputation amidst growing skepticism and criticism.
