Meghan Markle made some explosive claims during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, but her pal Gayle King insists she has proof to support what she said.
"Meghan has documents to back up everything that she said on Oprah's interview. Everything," King said on the Tuesday, March 16, episode of CBS This Morning.
During the tell-all, Meghan claimed someone in the royal family had "concerns" over Archie's skin color and that when she was grappling with suicidal thoughts, the institution failed to help her.
Overall, the Suits star didn't feel supported by the royal family, which her friend Janina Gavankar seemingly confirmed.
“You know, after reading this short statement that came out from Buckingham Palace today I thought two things. At one side, I thought, I’m so thankful that they are finally acknowledging the experience, but on the other side, I know that the family and staff were well aware of the extent of it and, though their ‘recollections may vary,’ ours don’t because we lived through it with them. And there are many emails and texts to support that,” she said on ITV's This Morning on Wednesday, March 10.
“Are you saying that the whole family and the whole staff knew that there was a woman within the palace walls who was deeply struggling?” one interviewer asked.
“I don’t know who knew,” Gavankar said, adding, “I know that the family and the staff knew.”
Following the interview that shocked the world, Buckingham Palace responded to the allegations. “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," the statement began. "The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollection may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
King previously revealed that "Meghan has plenty of receipts, meaning she’s been keeping track of things" after the interview dropped.
