Shortly before a highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey, allegations of bullying against Duchess Meghan are loud.

London - When Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan decided at the beginning of last year to retire from the royal family, they also hoped for a carefree future as a family far from royal duties.

For example, the constant moves because Canada no longer wanted to pay for the personal protection of the family.
But there were more violent things: In Windsor Castle there should have been a conspiracy against Meghan, there was talk of bullying.

Times

"Meghan is saddened by the recent attack against her person, especially as someone who has been the target of bullying and is fully committed to supporting those who have suffered pain and trauma," added a spokesman for Meghans and Harry Request from the German Press Agency.
