Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines last week after a tabloid claimed that they’re upset over Prince William lying about his COVID-19 diagnosis.

Heat claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex couldn’t be more furious over the royal family's double standard.

After all, Prince William wasn’t condemned for keeping his COVID-19 diagnosis a secret even though he was diagnosed way back in April. But when Prince Harry and Markle concealed certain information about their son, Archie, the tabloids targeted them nonstop.

A source told the tabloid that Prince Harry and Markle couldn’t be happier with their decision to quit The Firm because they can no longer stand the special treatment that Prince William and Kate Middleton have been receiving.

The tabloid’s headline also alleged that the Sussexes’ feud with the Cambridges deepened after Prince William tested positive for the deadly virus.

Days later, Gossip Cop debunked the tabloid’s claims by calling them a deliberate lie. The rumor-debunking site said that the article, which was supposed to be the feud between the Sussexes and the Cambridges, didn’t really tackle that.  

Rather, the story was more about Markle’s ongoing feud with the tabloids. Throughout the past couple of years, printed publications, royal experts, and even royal fans have been criticizing Markle for her every move.

For instance, Markle made headlines recently amid reports that she and Prince Harry didn’t publicly greet Prince Charles on his birthday. It is highly likely that the couple greeted Prince Charles privately, but publications were making a big deal over the fact that they didn’t share a tribute to Prince Charles publicly.

However, it is also important to note that Prince Harry and Markle no longer have a social media account that they can use to greet members of the royal family. But this doesn’t mean that they snubbed them on their special days.

Meanwhile, Gossip Cop also said that there’s no way a tabloid would’ve known how Prince Harry and Markle felt about Prince William’s diagnosis. After all, the Duke of Cambridge managed to keep his illness a secret for months.

While it is possible for Prince William to have shared the news with the royal family, a tabloid doesn’t have any access to them or to Prince Harry.

As such, to say that Prince Harry and Markle were furious over Prince William’s lie was an outright lie because no one knows how they felt about it.
