Robert Hardman, a royal scholar, has criticized Meghan Markle’s persistent perception that the royal family has “silenced” her by pointing out the numerous media and commercial endeavors that keep her in the public eye.

Meghan Markle’s shocking allegations that she was ever “silenced” by the Palace have been rebutted by a royal specialist, who asserts that we are constantly updated on her latest endeavors.

Given her frequent appearances on TV and social media, renowned royal biographer Robert Hardman, who has written extensively on the Royal Family, thinks the Duchess of Sussex was exaggerating her perception that she was kept silent while working as a royal.

In her shocking interview with Oprah in 2021, Meghan first claimed that the Firm had “silenced” her. She was talking about her two years as a senior working royal between getting married to Prince Harry in 2018 and leaving the royal life in 2020.

When Oprah asked Meghan if she was “silent or silenced” during the shocking interview, Meghan responded that it was the latter. She also quickly remarked that it was a tragic irony, considering how long she had battled for women’s rights.

Meghan also made an appearance on the Emma Grede podcast only last week, where she stated that if she could start again with her public persona, she would “ask people to tell the truth.” Meghan stated in her 2021 Oprah interview that if “the Firm” “is playing a part in perpetuating falsehoods” about her and Harry, she cannot be expected to remain silent.

Royal author Robert Hardman, however, disagrees with Meghan’s assertions that the Firm suppressed her, arguing that she was never told to keep quiet to the public or within the Firm.
