The royal plot thickens.

In a sit-down interview with Oprah, Meghan Markle says the royal family has an “active role” in “perpetuating falsehoods” about her and Prince Harry.

And yesterday, Buckingham Palace announced it’s launching an investigation into allegations that Meghan bullied her royal aides and created a toxic and manipulative atmosphere when she and Harry were still part of the family. But a rep for Meghan and Harry called the allegations a “calculated smear campaign” orchestrated by the palace ahead of the interview special which airs Sunday night on CBS. You can see the preview here.

I, for one, can’t wait to get to this season of The Crown.
