The story originally came from wedding dress designer, Claire Wright Kellerβs assistant, Victoria. She was carelessly telling a story with group of friends. It leaked.
Then, the press sat on the story for four months.
The story was later confirmed by Melissa Toubati, Meghanβs assistant, one of the victim of MM bullying, DAYSSSS after she had quit.
Melissa wasnβt malicious, she was proving the point that M is difficult to work with.
Meghanβs former best friend, Jessica Mulroney was tricked to confirm it too. Her daughter was one of the bridesmaids and so she was in the room when it all happened.
It is very untrue that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not protected from mistruths. I revealed on @einstein_evans what happened:
1. #HarryandMeghan had an obsession for the press/media/PR. They wanted to always respond to EVERY story, which became tasking ...
... for KP and BP staff. #PrinceHarry would write VERY RUDE emails and scream at people over the phone demanding that EVERY story be corrected, removed, etc. with THREATS!! (Hundreds of these emails exist and were part of the bullying investigation).
2. However, the press team was getting overwhelmed. They were dealing with the nightmare of Prince Andrew and Virginia Guiffre, as well as leaks and planted lies (from Meghan Markle, YES, Meghan) against William and Catherine. (Yes, MM was briefing her friends and others)
