The author said that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s leaks are “still a problem” because the royal family thinks Oprah’s chat “will end”

One author claimed that although the royal family hopes their public conversation with the American host Oprah Winfrey will mark a “new beginning,” Meghan and Harry’s explosive interview with the royal family “is still a problem.”

Robert Lacey, a historical consultant for Netflix’s The Crown, believes that if the couple’s friends continue to intervene and continue to leak secrets, the family will not be able to conduct “serious negotiations.”

Lacey said on the British Good Morning show today: “You just let their friend Gail King speak on TV.

“I think when it comes to Oprah’s interview, that feeling—albeit terrible, but all these family revelations were broadcast—that’s it, it’s a new beginning, and then the family suddenly found out, okay In fact, their friend Gail King had more to say, and then Oprah said more, feeling that if you were to talk on American TV the next day, you would not be able to engage in serious family negotiations.

“This is still a problem.”
