Meghan Markle’s longtime friend appeals to BS in connection with the British royal family’s claim that its members were unaware of the battles the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry faced.
Actor Janina Gavankar, who has known Markle for 17 years, appeared on the British TV show “This Morning” on Wednesday to support his girlfriend and contradict a statement published on Tuesday by Buckingham Palace.
The statement issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth said that “the whole family is saddened to learn how difficult the last years have been for Harry and Meghan” and that “the issues raised, especially the race, are worrying”, while suggesting some memories. can vary ”.
During Wednesday’s interview, Gavankar shattered the family’s claim that “memories may vary. ”
“[Our recollections] not [vary] because I lived it with them, “Gavankar said, adding that” there are many e-mails and texts to support this. “
Although Gavankar said she was not sure who Markle had asked her for help with her suicidal thoughts, she insisted “the family and staff knew.”
Gavankar also denied allegations that Markle assaulted royal staff.
“I’ve known her for 17 years and I’ve seen the way she looks at those around her and I can say she’s not an aggressor,” Gavankar said. “But I can also say that I am personally glad that people are doing their due diligence, because I also know why someone had to leave and it was for a serious misconduct.”
At one point, co-host Philip Schofield asked Gavankar why her boyfriend had decided to “hinder” the royal family, and she pushed back.
I don’t think the intention was to “destroy” them. I think it was finally a chance to tell them the truth, “Gavankar said. “Meghan has always been a very open person. She has always shared parts of her in the way we always do. But everything changed when he joined the family. I watched as a wall was built around it. She was very isolated. ”
Gavankar, who said he watched Meghan and Harry’s Sunday interview, said the couple felt free and “now they can get back to what they really focused on.”
