Buckingham Palace is afraid Meghan Markle will say nasty things about Kate Middleton in Sunday’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, but sources tell The Post that the duchess only offers “kind words” for her sister-in-law to the other band.
Markle dismisses Middleton – and exposes the dirty details of his famous break – fearing it would cause “immense” damage to the British monarchy, the UK’s Sun newspaper reported on Saturday.
A frightened source even described the interview as equivalent to a “nuclear option” for Markle, Sun reported.
But a source familiar with Oprah’s interview, which aired Sunday, tells The Post that Buckingham Palace has nothing to worry about in that regard.
Meghan and Prince Harry only had “kind words” about Prince William and Kate, a CBS member told The Post, who denied Oprah’s position exposed the extent of any rift between the quartet.
Still, the royal watchdogs are anxiously awaiting the bombs that could fall on Middleton’s path, especially on Markle’s displeasure at his passage through the UK, which he will describe as “almost unsustainable”.
“If you have chosen to speak frankly about your time with Kate, the damage that could be done to the monarchy is enormous,” royal sources told The UK Sun.
“She has the power to expose how bad things really were between her, Harry, William and Kate.”
During the marathon chat, Markle is also expected to discuss breaking up his relationship with Father Thomas Markle, who did not even attend the royal wedding.
“Oprah is likely to show Meghan clips of the things Thomas has said – and then ask for her answer. It should lead to dramatic moments,” the source told The Sun.
