![]() RTE's Tommy Gorman sits down with Meghan Markle in a tell all interview... TG:
To get you to put in context the reasons for the row between yourself
and the Royal Family. Was it bad blood between yourself and Lizzie or
was it the bad preparations in the palace? MM: Obviously a
lot has been said over the last few months but I'm here to tell the
truth. The last straw was obviously being accused of faking mental
illness. TG:But what happened before that? The impression we
have is somebody who went over there who was looking to marry into the
Royal family, who wanted to do well for the Royal family and just felt
that the training you in just wasn't going well. MM: The first
night after the wedding there was a meal and Liz gave a speech and the
Royal doctor spoke saying to be careful of the press and what to do and
what not to do and he continued on saying to look after your mental
health but there were no therapists here and I was thinking why aren't
there therapists here? That's not being pig headed, that's not being a
primadonna its just being honest. I was disappointed straight away with
that. I went to my room feeling down and later on went to Lizzie's room
and told her I was disappointed that there were no mental health
facilities in the palace and she said they were supposed to be here 2
yrs ago, I said 'Liz! They should have been here 30 years ago!' TG: Did you think you had support from the other Royals because they were Royals aswell? MM:
Listen, it was a bit of a laugh and a joke but I told Liz there was
going to be mental health issues and 3 days later there was. TG: So you threatened to leave, that you wanted to come home. How was that sorted out? MM:
They just said 'We'll protect you Meghan.' Mick Byrne came to my room
and said Stay Meghan, we'll sort things out. I believed them. I decided
to stick it out. Then he came back to my room later on saying I have 3
minutes to make up my mind. I said I'd say. Of course I had already
agreed to do an interview with The Irish Times and... TG: But do you see from Lizzies perspective this was a challenge to her authority? MM: The article was fine. I questioned the mental health facilities.. It was the truth. TG: Then a hastily arranged meeting took place.. MM:
Liz came in. I knew it was about the interview.She went on to say that
she was disappointed. I just said to myself 'just stay calm'. I had
spoken to Fergie and she said she picked up a mental health problem and
there wasn't the right facilities. The press say I give people hell. I
tell the truth. TG: Do you accept that the language you used was not appropriate for a Royal. MM:
She knew I wasn't right! I had told her I had mental health issues.
She knew that. I wasn't going to accept her having a go at me. TG: But do you accept you went too far Meghan MM:
If I felt for one second, for one second , that I was a little bit out
of order I'd apologise and go back and be a Royal. But I'm 100% right.
Some senior Royals agree with me but when they had their chance to speak
they just sat there and I just walked out of the room and walked out on
being a Royal and not one person backed me up. Not one! TG: What about the view of Lizzie. There's a view in the British press that she's a good woman, an honest woman. MM:
Liz has obviously had a very good career and done very well. I
wouldn't say I know Liz that well but generally found her ok but that
came to an end the other night. The press make out I'ma loner and stay
all day in my room...Then there was a dinner with the press and Liz said
she wanted the press on their side. Good luck to 'em. TG:
But what about all the little kids in the UK who would love to see you
back. Kids that will never have a chance. There are 13 or 14 year olds
who are haunted by whats going on. MM: They'll get over it. I
have to stand up for what I believe in. What happened to me was
wrong. Then within 20 mins of the meeting the Royals released a
statement saying our money had been cut off and priviliges and security
taken away. People look at them as role models. They're cowards. Then
a couple of the Royals came to my room to say their goodbyes. Said 'we
respected everything you said Meghan but we want to be Royals. They
said if its any consolation when you left the room Lizzie said 'we have
to stick together now' and there was a round of applause but we didn't
cllap.' I said thanks very much. Then I rang Fergie and asked to
arrange a flight home. TG: Alex Ferguson? MM:
No Sarah Ferguson. The Duchess. She understood everything. But like I
say I didn't want to be going to the media. I didn;t want to be doing
this interview today. Then I got back to L.A. and my solicitor Michael
Kennedy said 'you need to say somethign because there is an imbalance in
the story' as I hears a lot of stuff that was coming out about me,
stuff that wasn't true. Stuff like I made Kate Middleton cry. Nonsense. I
need to speak out. The people of Britain need to know the truth. I'm
human. I think I was forced into a corner. My conscience is clear. TG: If you thought that they would take you back..(interrupted) MM: What do you mean 'take me back'?! TG If you thought that they would love you back that Liz was prepared to bury the hatchet, what would Meghan Markle say? MM: I really don't know.. TG: The country would love you back MM: I'd love to be back but its up to other people.. TG: It would do so much for the morale of kids who will never have a chance MM:
I dont know. I really don't know. I need to stand up for what I
believe in. You weren't on that island. The mental health facilities
were a disgrace! TG: There is talk now that there are some Royals who want you back (interrupted) MM: Maybe they are worried about their own reputations.. They had a chance to speak uplast year and said f**k all. TG: But you can understand how things can be misunderstood. After all you went to Liz saying you had personal problems. MM: Yeah that's right but that was on the Tuesday. It was all forgotten about. TG:
But could you not find a compromise. Look at the Galway GAA team. A
sport you love Meghan. And the Donnelan brother made up with their
manager and went on to win the All Ireland. Surely you could make up
with the Royal family? MM: Maybe...maybe. Its out of my
hands. I'm standing firm. The press make out I'm a loner, a bitch etc..
Nonsense. What happened to me was wrong. I need to stand up for what I
believe in. TG: This is hurting you Meghan isn't it? MM: Dead right it is. Edited by Trap junior - 09 Mar 2021 at 3:47pm |

If this was in a book, I would buy it
|

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |
