Prince Andrew's suggestion that sex is a 'positive act' for a man, so therefore difficult to forget, is said to have left Meghan Markle 'troubled'.
A source, described as 'close to The Duchess of Sussex' spoke to The Daily Telegraph criticising his BBC Newsnight interview and describing Meghan's reaction to seeing it.
After a week of catastrophic headlines for Prince Andrew, in which his charities have abandoned him, Meghan's camp hit out at the Duke.
'The interview left everyone watching it wanting to curl under a table. It just got worse and worse and worse,' a source close to the Duchess of Sussex's team said.
The Duke of York, 59, made the comments during a disastrous Newsnight interview with the BBC's Emily Maitlis last weekend.
He was asked whether he'd ever had sex with Virginia Roberts, now Virginia Giuffre, or any other woman trafficked by convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
To which he responded that he can't have done, because to have sex with someone is a 'positive act' and therefore is 'very difficult to forget'.
His appearance on BBC Two, seemingly designed put an end to questions over his relationship with Epstein, has led to humiliation for the Duke.
Meghan, 38, who has championed the cause of female victims of violence, is now reportedly struggling with the fallout of his interview.

Markle is insufferable.

Your post has led me to this question .....
If the Monarchy goes what happens to the house of the lords?
Does anybody know?
Aren’t they kind of tied to each other?
It's the PBS version of Game of Thrones. When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you get sent to your 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Park.
“Oh dear. “Camps” among the Royals? Where can this lead? Hmm.”
Methinks the Douchess* of Sussex needs to stay off of yachts (Mountbatten, IRA), small planes (Prince William 1972, still debated) and not take cars through tunnels (Diana).
The Douchess* of Sussex will quickly find out there are TWO camps. The first is the Firm which is large and knows how to take care of business. The second is her own itty bitty camp that can’t shoot straight.
*misspelling intentional. Fits doesn’t it.
I didn’t want to say that I have.
But since we’re sharing, there’s at least 3 or 4 who I know I met at clubs and, well, one thing ledd to another but I can’t remember their faces and it was a looooonngg time ago.
lol
doing positive - there are 50some commonwealth countries tied to England and the RF is charged with the PR rounds to keep them in the Commonwealth
would they be missed - absolutely. I read somewhere that twenty-five percent of England’s economy comes from tourism to see the Queen, or at least the 1000year history surrounding the same. England would be hard pressed to replace that income stream.
real power - Only the King/Queen can declare war, sign treaties, dismiss Parliament, dismiss the PM, fire all civil servants, dismiss the military command, sell every stick England owns, and so on and so on. For the most part, tho, they act as the supreme advisor on matters of state.
What Sparkles hasn’t figured out yet, is, when married into the RF, one loses one’s individual voice, most certainly on family laundry topics. Speaking out in public on anything except neutral topics like world hunger and poverty, the arts and literature, is taboo, as in-family fighting tarnishes the mystique of the RF. She should have learned her lesson on this after seeing the distance that opened between Harry and Wills over her previous meddling.
I will get too sick if I think about women I know and things that happened to them up until 18.
If I don’t block it, it would keep me up at night.
They get mad at me and ask why I’M UP at night if it happened to them.
I guess i’m not bill clinton. When I say I share someone’s pain, it’s a little too literal.
There’s one I remember (one brief encounter) but can’t remember her name. That’s the only one.
Because?
How did a twice divorced D actress / Grifter / gold digger with no money , lots of credits card debt and the British public despise
create a Camp ?
She is penniless LA trash not if royal blood .
That Fourth group consisting of former Clinton PR people are as clueless and reckless as her previous pr teams.
I Think I could tell the number of women, I just couldn’t recognize nor know the names of maybe 4 or so.
But this conversation is getting out of hand for FR!!
That’s all behind us now.
I wasn’t really a one night stand kind of guy. I WAS the ONE who was disappointed when there was no follow up.
Oh well.
Harry better wake up! He is being used by Megan!
The queen has the power to set standards of behavior for theBrits, which she does brilliantly. I believe at least half if not most of the people love and respect her...and detest Me-again and Harry for blundering around like idiots.
As for actual political power? I don’t know.
Excellent post.
Phew. Can a car crash in a tunnel be in her future?
Good comment. I think you are right about The Firm’s not putting up with her bs for very long. They can’t very well “disappear” Andrew, but MeAgain had better stop being a burr under the royal saddle.
Because if she is brilliant enough to place her daughter on the throne, she can definitely make the throne last long enough for her great-great-great grandchildren.
