It was “mandated” by Kensington Palace “that all friends and family of [Meghan] should say ‘no comment’ when approached by any media outlet, despite misinformation being provided to the UK tabloids about her,” the document states.
“This shared frustration amongst the claimant’s friends left everyone feeling silenced, as it appeared that other so-called sources were able to disseminate false statements about the claimant, while people who knew her best were told they needed to remain silent.
“The claimant believes that is probably because of this reason, as well as concerns about the press intrusion by the UK tabloids, that a few friends chose to participate and they did so anonymously”.
This obsession with the media. It's therapy and mental health support which was rightly needed to deal with them.
Umm hard to claim her family was ‘mandated’ not to talk to the media beyond no comment when all they did for months was talk to the media. I presume they mean her mother and friends were ADVISED to not speak to the media, which seems pretty sound advice really. Also pretty sure the Kensington palace don’t get to ‘mandate’ anything to private individuals. Especially when those private individuals probably weren’t even citizens of the UK.
Isn't that exactly what Meghan advised her father to do: do not talk to the media when approached?! I would hope that Meghan gave the same sound advice to her family members and friends that she was in touch with; and not suddenly use other rules for those that would speak 'in favor' of her. If the friends sensed (or knew) that Meghan was unhappy with the 'don't talk to the media' rule because she wanted her story to be told; they would have known that Meghan would be happy for them to talk.
