The so-called “Bible of Showbiz” has turned its back on Meghan Markle in a “savage” article slamming her as “Duchess difficult”.

Meghan Markle is reeling after a “savage” article was released about the Duchess in the American media, it has been claimed.

The Hollywood Reporter recently shared the story that surprised the guests on the latest episode of the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential. The Mail’s Richard Eden referred to the publication as one that “is not very sensationalist.”

Speaking on the show, the Mail on Sunday’s Charlotte Griffiths said: “I think it’ll be difficult for Meghan because, of course, she really cares for what The Hollywood Reporter thinks. She’s a former actress and this is her world. She lives in California, [she] hangs around with Hollywood stars and, you know, she ran away from the UK – and so did Harry to escape these kind of reports.”

Reflecting on a similar article in the UK media, she said that the piece “held back” unlike the US media. She added: “It is savage as you say.”

Meghan and Harry stepped down from royal duties in early 2020, and moved to the US shortly after with their son, Archie – now aged five. The couple now reside in Montecito with Archie and their second child, three-year-old Lilibet.
