Rebbeca English, a representative of the royal press, penned a scathing editorial for the Daily Mail criticizing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's claims that Buckingham Palace "fed" the media unfavorable news. English stated that it is "categorically untrue" to say that Buckingham Palace "routinely fed" negative information to the media as part of a "war" against Markle or to counteract less positive headlines about other senior royals.

She wrote, "Why can I say this with absolute confidence? Well, because as a long-standing royal correspondent on the country's biggest-selling daily newspaper, I can only presume that those stories would have, on occasions, been leaked to me," reported Daily Mail. On Tuesday, December 13, the Duchess of Sussex's allies alleged that Palace employees deliberately used her as a "scapegoat" to draw attention away from other senior royals. Additionally, Markle and her allies alleged in the Netflix documentary 'Harry & Meghan' that inaccurate stories and unfavorable briefings about her and Harry were sent as part of a "war against Meghan".
