The Royal and the UK media could never run lines along with each other. Since time immemorial, the ravaging tabloids and the press have always been a severe matter of concern for almost all the members of the Royal Family. In recent times, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been taking the shots all by themselves left and right. As most of you might speculate that this has rooted in their tell-all bombshell projects, the media bashing actually dates back to the time the Sussexes were not even married.

The headlines have their way of highlighting just the part that would create a stir in social media instead of bringing forward actual news. However, some well-wishers from the Sussex side do not let them get away with it. 

Omid Scobies narrates a terrifying incident with Meghan Markle

Close Friend Omid Scobie and his co-writer, Carolyn Durand of their just-released book speak of some unheard and significant facts about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Speaking of The book, Finding Freedom, has made some fresh revelations about the Royal Family, especially the former American actress and the military prince. 

According to the Finding Freedom book, the early courtship days of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not going easy on the couple. With the entire world keeping a tab on you at all times, the Prince and his then-fiance did go through a lot of traumatizing incidents which have found their place in the book. It is a fact that Meghan Markle evidently had to take help from the police to safeguard herself from the hounding press. 

The paps were all over Markle 

This happened moments after her relationship with Prince Harry went beyond the Palace doors. As narrated by Scobie, it was one late night in Toronto and the young people in love were happy to have each other. Out of nowhere, breaking the silence of the blissful night, the duo received a call from Kensington as Prince Harry’s aides informed him that the press is running through the story of their relationship.

And for a fact, they knew that to add more credibility to their story, the paparazzi would swarm Markle’s places to get the slightest snap. “They had little time to think,” writes the Royal expert as their story feeding the new frenzy would take much time to reach their homes, hunting for the happy couple. Sources also reveal that the men with the cameras had already fenced her back garden. As a result, “Meghan was terrified and called the police,” writes Scobie.
