The never-ending saga surrounding Meghan Markle’s family has taken yet another dramatic turn after royal commentators Lady Colin Campbell (Lady C) and investigative writer Tom Bower dropped what they claim is the biggest lie ever told by the Duchess about her family background. Both outspoken critics of Meghan, the pair joined forces in separate interviews to unravel a narrative they insist the Duchess has carefully constructed over the years.

According to Lady C, Meghan has long tried to paint a picture of a fractured, almost non-existent family, choosing to emphasize estrangement while conveniently leaving out the “inconvenient truths.” She alleged that Meghan’s version of her family life “is a carefully crafted fairytale,” designed to distance herself from her working-class roots and present herself as a self-made woman of mystery.
Tom Bower, whose biography of Meghan revealed countless controversial details, backed this claim. He argued that Meghan has repeatedly downplayed the presence of certain family members, while exaggerating rifts to fit her narrative. “It was never the lonely, cut-off existence she portrayed,” Bower explained. “The reality is far more complex, and her efforts to rewrite history are now being exposed.”
Critics say this revelation could further damage Meghan’s credibility, especially as she and Harry continue to position themselves as advocates of truth and authenticity. Supporters, however, argue that Meghan has every right to control her story and that her family’s past is nobody’s business.
Still, the combined weight of Lady C and Tom Bower’s allegations has reignited debate about how much of Meghan’s story is fact—and how much is carefully staged fiction. With both commentators promising even more revelations, it seems the Duchess’s carefully protected image may once again be under fire.
