Ammon News - MEGHAN Markle accuses the Royal family of "perpetuating falsehoods" in a new clip ahead of her bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.
The Duchess of Sussex tells how "there's a lot has been lost" in the 30-second teaser released on Wednesday night - just hours after Buckingham Palace announced an investigation into bullying claims made against her.
In the preview, Winfrey asked how Meghan felt about “the Palace hearing you speak your truth.”
Meghan replied: “I don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.”
Prince Harry’s wife added, “And, if that comes with risk of losing things, there is a lot that has been lost already.”
The investigation comes after The Times on Tuesday reported on bullying allegations made by the duchess's staff.
Staff members accused Meghan of “driving out” two personal assistants and a former aide called her and Prince Harry “outrageous bullies.”
The duchess is also accused of saying, "It's not my job to coddle people," after aides were allegedly humiliated and tearing up over her "difficult demands."

Meghan denied the allegations and said The Times was being "used by Buckingham Palace to peddle a wholly false narrative."
The duchess clashed with royal aides over free designer clothes that were sent to Kensington Palace, The Sun revealed on Wednesday.
Meghan also apparently ignored advice from palace aides to not wear earrings that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman gifted her, shortly after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi which was reportedly ordered by Salman.
In a statement on Wednesday, The Palace said they were "clearly very concerned" about the staff claims that the duchess bullied them.
The Palace added that its human resources team would look into the allegations in the story and that staff members who were involved, including those who no longer worked there, would be consulted.
"The Royal Household has had a Dignity at Work policy in place for a number of years and does not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace," the statement concluded.
However, a friend of Meghan and Prince Harry in a Bazaar.com story accused the Palace of racism toward the duchess.
“I hate to say it, but find me a woman of color in a senior position who has not been accused of being too angry, too scary, too whatever in the workplace," the friend said.
"It’s sad that it’s happening, but I’m not surprised. These claims are so far from the woman I know.”
A friend of the couple also told Bazaar.com that the pair "have had everything and the kitchen sink thrown at them this week, but ultimately nothing will stop them from sharing their truth."
Meghan and Prince Harry made their final official appearance as senior royals at Westminster Abbey’s Commonwealth Day service last March.
The full 90-minute interview, Oprah With Meghan and Harry, will air on CBS on Sunday at 8pm ET.
