Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey continues to make headlines even after more than a year. A royal expert even asserted that it is one of the “motivating factors” why the Royal Firm decided not to release the results of the bullying probe involving the former actress.

Express UK reported that the assertions recently came from Duncan Larcombe. He believes that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could unleash another “world of pain” as they could go in for a second interview with the famed talk show host.

The royal commentator explained that this is likely why Buckingham Palace opted not to publish the probe. He added that the “Palace is running scared” of the former working royals.

The outlet later quoted Larcombe, saying, “I think… if they publish the report, the next thing that will [potentially happen] is for [Prince] Harry and Meghan [Markle] to play the victim and go on Oprah and cause another world of pain.”

Contrary to what the expert believes, though, Geo News has claimed that Queen Elizabeth II is “not afraid” of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. As pointed out, the British Monarch has decades of experience dealing with various crises as the longest-reigning monarch.

The outlet stated that it made its claims after the Firm’s decision not to release the findings of the bullying inquiry has sparked “never-ending debate” among royal fans and commentators. Many reportedly have been sharing their opinions and comments about the matter since the Palace dropped its announcement.

The publication later asserted that the Queen has always adopted “smart strategies” when tackling issues. As claimed, “she avoids conflicts and tries to overcome the crisis amicably.”

It argued, however, that whatever the case is, it reportedly appears that the head of the British Monarchy does not want to “add fuel to the raging fire” as it could “burn” the family.

Buckingham Palace released the official statement about the bullying probe involving Meghan Markle nearly two weeks ago. CNN noted that Michael Stevens, the official in charge of the Crown’s finances, was the one who discussed the matter at a news conference, tackling the Royal Household’s annual financial statement.

The official stated that the private company hired to do the probe had completed its work. He also shared that “several recommendations were made,” although he did not reveal them in detail, adding that they “will not be commenting further.”

Meanwhile, a senior royal source told the publication that the Palace has remained tight-lipped about the bullying investigation involving Meghan Markle “to protect the anonymity" of everyone involved.
