A heated row erupted on GB News as two broadcasters clashed over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to quit their Royal duties and move to the US
A TV broadcaster has divided opinion by claiming the Royal Family “forced” Meghan Markle to leave the UK.
A heated debate broke out on GB News over the weekend when Nina Myskow, in conversation with former News of The World editor Neil Wallis, claimed that Meghan was “bullied out of this country”.
She also pointed a finger at the UK press for their role in Meghan and Prince Harry’s decision to step back from Royal duties and relocate to the US. Neil Wallis, speaking about the media, maintained that he was never instructed to follow a specific narrative regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Discussing Meghan, Ms Myskow said: “Meghan Markle was bullied out of this country by the Royal Family and the British media.” She added: “When she arrived on the scene, she and Harry, who had always been the most popular royal next to the Queen, became magical to the British public. The problem with that scenario is that, we have William and Kate, they are the number one.”

Ms Myskow added “They are the ones to take the Royal Family machinery forward. The point being, their popularity overtook that of William and Kate. That cannot be allowed to happen because William was the one to keep the Royal Family going.”
GB News host Mark Dolan then countered Nina’s remarks, arguing: “They [William and Kate] haven’t done any podcasts, haven’t done any books, they’ve not done documentaries throwing their family under the bus.”
Mr Wallis then waded in, saying: “The problem we have with Nina’s argument is she is forgetting where she used to work.”
He continued by challenging prevalent myths about Royal media coverage: “One of the great fallacies that Harry and Meghan would have you believe is the Palace dictated to the British media how these people are covered. This is nonsense and you know it.”
Meghan and Harry famously stepped back from Royal duties in January 2020, relocating that year to the US with their five year old son, Prince Archie, and subsequently welcomed a daughter in June 2021.
