Meghan Markle has a lot to say about Kate Middleton and the royal family. A source close to the 38-year-old told DailyMail.com about how Markle felt that if Middleton had been in the same position, “changes would have been made.”
The source explained, “[Meghan said] no one would have put up with it, and the broken and outdated system would have been revised.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 continued "[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."
This comes after an announcement that Harry and Meghan would have "no corroboration and zero engagement" with four UK tabloids: The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror.
The friend also spoke to Meghan and Harry's decision to leave the royal family, explaining, "Meghan said when she was living in England, she was being bullied by the media non-stop and Harry knew he had to do something dramatic to protect her and the family. She said she was being treated unfairly and picked on for everything she did including rubbing her belly too much when she was pregnant."
The source continued, "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."
