Royal coverage under scrutiny
A fresh critique of royal standing surfaces as a trusted ally questions double standards.
A friend of Meghan Markle accuses the monarchy of double standards in handling criticism of family members.
Meghan Markle Ally Delivers Fresh Criticism of Royal Family
Bryony Gordon, a journalist and friend of Meghan Markle, writes in the Daily Mail that the royal family applied double standards by protecting Prince Andrew while failing to help Meghan as she faced scrutiny and personal strain. She cites Meghan's Oprah Winfrey interview and public trolling as evidence of a harsher standard.
The piece notes new scrutiny around the Yorks and references Andrew Lownie’s forthcoming book The Rise and Fall of the House of York. It recounts the Duke of York stepping back from royal duties in 2019 after a BBC Newsnight interview and being stripped of royal and military titles in 2021. He denies all allegations made against him.
Key Takeaways
"With each sordid allegation, I have become more and more furious that so little was done to help Meghan as she struggled with life in the Royal Family, while so much was done to protect Prince Andrew."

"Each time we meet, or exchange texts about life, I wonder what it says about the world that she could be so vilified and trolled, while other members of the royal family seem to have been given a free pass to behave as badly as they want."

Timeline of Andrew's withdrawal
The op-ed illustrates how royal narratives are shaped by insiders and media voices, often presenting competing versions of accountability. It raises a broader question about how the institution balances protection for some members with pressure on others. As Epstein's shadow lingers in new coverage, the monarchy faces a test of transparency and public trust. The risk is a more polarized audience that may not distinguish between personal conduct and institutional duty.
