An insider told DailyMail.
com, Meghan said to her friends if her sister-in-law Kate Middleton was constantly receiving criticism from the press, the royal family would have changed its media policies.
”[Meghan said] no one would have put up with it, and the broken and outdated system would have been revised. Those outlets responsible for their vicious attacks would have been shut out,” the friend revealed.
The 38-year-old former actress said the rules would have been different for Kate and ‘changes would have been made’ if she was getting the same treatment from media.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stunned palace aides after announcing their decision to boycott four major British tabloids. The friend said: ”Meghan said no one in the royal family should be surprised with the announcement.”
Meghan said every member of the royal family was aware of Harry’s disappointment towards the British tabloids and the changes he wanted to make.
”If Kate was being criticized no one would put up with it.” Meghan told her friends the palace has always been in favor of Kate and the royals would have taken an action against tabloids if the Duchess of Cambridge was criticized by them.
According to Daily Mail, The Duchess’ friends added: ”Meghan said Harry needed to take a stand for her, their son and his mother.
” The insider also said what ”irritated Meghan and Harry the most” was if the press had ”constantly criticized and needlessly bashed Kate the way they did her, changes within the royal’s media policy would have been made.
No questions asked.”
As per the source, Prince Harry tried to talk to his father Prince Charles and his grandmother the Queen ‘constantly’ about Meghan getting treated badly by the media but they ”wouldn’t do anything to change the protocol despite seeing ‘how it was tearing him apart.”
”[Meghan] said it was infuriating that Harry’s very real and valid concerns fell on deaf ears,” the source said.
”Meghan said they made it seem like this is the way it is, deal with it. Harry had been dealing with it far too long. She said he wasn’t going to let this destroy her life and their marriage.”
The friend also revealed Meghan was upset for being criticized for little things saying,” She said there was no way she was going to go through motherhood being criticized for every little thing she did.”
”She said she told Harry that it was only going to get worse, It was a no win situation and the only solution was to take control of their own lives. Harry needed to take a stand for her, their son and his mother.”
The source also said Harry made it clear that they couldn’t work under such system and he would have to protect his family.
”Meghan said Harry made it crystal clear that they could not function in good faith under the current system… and that if it wasn’t revised and updated to their liking, they would have no other choice than to break from the royal family.
”
”She said no one took his pleas seriously, so they had to take the issue into their own hands. This was about protecting the family and doing right by Princess Diana. She said the British tabloids have haunted Harry since childhood and should have been kicked out of the media pool long ago.”
”The system is broken and Harry wanted to fix it. She said he needed to take a stand and now they are doing it together.”
