Prince's vindication 'WILLIAM MADE THE RIGHT CALL'

SCATHING REPORT ON DUCHESS AIRS SHOCK ALLEGATIONS

- 

When Buckingham Palace launched an internal investigation into claims the Duchess of Sussex had bullied staffers during her time as a royal, many waited with bated breath for its findings.

At the time, Meghan labelled the March 2021 probe as the “latest attack on her character”. A year later, the findings were in – but the royal family declined to make them public.

At the time, a source told New Idea exclusively that Prince William was at the forefront of the decision to keep it confidential, despite huge public interest.

“William wanted to protect the staffers who had come forward,” says a source. “But it was also an act of self-preservation.”

With the way Harry and Meghan were airing dirty family laundry left, right and centre, William felt releasing the report would only add to dragging down the family name.
