But now another pair of earrings brings her back to the center of the controversy.

This is a story that dates back to 2018, has been revived several times and is now back in vogue thanks to a forthcoming book, Courtiers: The inside story of the Palace, written by Valentine Low. Let’s go in order. It is exactly October 2018, the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle They are involved in a royal tour in Oceania between Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

The problem arises from the fact that in the days of the Australian tour the journalist was Jamal Khashoggi he had been murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. This happened on October 2nd, while Saudi Arabia had admitted its guilt on October 20th. Just three days later, on the 23rd, Markle had worn the earrings at the state gala. The news of the assassination of the political opponent was on everyone’s lips, could it be that nobody had raised the matter in the palazzo? The crown has always distanced itself from controversial figures to avoid scandals. In this case, he would certainly not have wanted to show any closeness to the Saudis. In his book Valentine Low told how the news had made the rounds at Kensington Palace, but the assistants decided not to say anything for fear of an overreaction from Harry and Meghan, between shouts and insults.
Meghan falls for it again
In green in London
After only three weeks, on returning to England, Megan Markle she had put her earrings back on. On November 14, 2018, she was actually photographed at Carlo’s birthday party, glittering with her diamonds. At this point, the staff seems to have decided to point this out to Harry. The Duchess’ lawyer then announced that Meghan was unaware of the Saudi prince’s involvement in the journalist’s death. A statement that was hard to keep after the gems were shown a second time, 20 days after news of Khashoggi broke out around the world. Meghan speaks with the look… this time it might have been better to keep her mouth shut.
