Harry and Meghan are famously protective of their privacy and as a result hostile to those media outlets they don’t personally seek out. But of all the British broadcasters, ITV are regarded as having the best links with the estranged royal couple. News at Ten anchor Tom Bradby is known to be a friend of the Duke of Sussex and was responsible for bagging the 2019 interview in which Meghan Markle lamented that no one had asked if ‘she was ok.’
So it was with interest that Mr S read a blog published today by the channel’s highly regarded Royal Editor Chris Ship. In the article Ship focuses on possible upsides of the Sussexes’ bombshell interview in which the couple made allegations of racism within the highest echelons of the royal family. One positive apparently could be Princes Harry and William using the incident to mend their broken relationship and resume communication.
Ship goes on to note that ‘the other positive might be the debate on race in the UK which has been sparked by Meghan’s claims.
