Another allegation lands in Meghan Markle’s camp and this one accuses them of trying to use Prince Archie and Princess LilIbet, both of whom are in the line of Succession to their benefit, in order to appeal for better security arrangements and the mother-of-two is practically heartbroken.

A source revealed this emotional whirlwind Meghan’s been reeling from, in a chat with Closer.

According to them, this meeting with King Charles that happened despite plans being up in the air, till the last minute was something that has not only been seen as ‘cruel’ in her view, but has left her totally floored too.

The source explained the entire thing by saying, “to her this is about as low as it gets. To have people tearing her down and making hurtful and untrue claims is bad enough but to drag her children into it is just beyond the pale.”

“They are going to grow up and potentially read all this poison someday, so it boggles her mind that people could be so cruel.”

But that’s not even the worse bit, because what makes it “a thousand times worse” is that “she’s sure that a lot of this ugly narrative is being sanctioned,” or “even pushed, by people behind the palace walls,” and “that truly sickens her.”

“She can't believe anyone would seriously suggest she and Harry are using Archie and Lilibet to blackmail the King to get what they want,” they added near the end too. “As far as Meghan's concerned, that’s twisted thinking and completely beneath her.”
