'Harry & Meghan': Ann Widdecombe accuses Meghan Markle of 'peddling conspiracy theories,' calls her 'paranoid'
LONDON, UK: Netflix's one of the most controversial yet famed docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' has released three episodes and another three are waiting in line to be released soon. As soon as the series dropped, the controversy, claims, anger, and allegations came along with it in ample amounts. Well, it seems that Ann Widdecombe, a former member of the European Parliament, was not happy seeing her comments made in 'Celebrity Big Brother' make her a 'scapegoat.'
Widdecombe, 75, had branded the Duchess of Sussex 'trouble' during her appearance in 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2018. Noting the same in the show, Netflix's docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' claimed that there was a 'war against Meghan' and people were fed with 'unfavorable stories' about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The documentary accused the Palace of feeding 'negative stories' about the couple to make up for the damaging tales of the Royal Palace. Alongside the claims, the visual of a newspaper article where Widdecombe claimed Meghan a "trouble" was showcased in the documentary. Widdecombe addressed the matter last night in an interview. The former Tory MP slammed Meghan Markle for 'deliberately peddling conspiracy theories.'

Widdecombe told to The Sun, "If she believes that Buckingham Palace briefed me, or briefed out to the papers a comment I made which was broadcast on television, then she is paranoid." The 75-year-old added, "If she doesn’t believe that then she is deliberately peddling conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact. I did say it on 'Big Brother' but it was not about race."
Further explaining the context of her 'Celebrity Big Brother' comment, the 75-year-old said, "It was, in fact, that she was a moderately successful Hollywood actress who never lived in this country and didn’t know the first thing about the Royal Family and had already been divorced after two years of marriage." Widdecombe added that she branded her 'trouble' bearing in mind the challenges she would be facing in the Royal family. "Bearing in mind the challenge of marrying into royals I said she would be trouble. But social media went into a spin," Widdecombe blamed the media for molding her words.
Widdecombe further claimed that her saying had no connection with the Royal Palace. "How on Earth that has anything to do with Buckingham Palace, I can’t imagine," said ex-Tory MP.
Meanwhile, 'Harry & Meghan' has not been well received by the Royal Palace and its experts. Daily Mail reports a royal commentator claiming that the docuseries was clearly 'a form of revenge' and labeled it as 'nonsense.'
In the upcoming three episodes of the six-part series we will see Meghan speaking about the 'family conflict.' The Duchess of Sussex will address the scenario when she and Harry left the Royal foundation to start on their own. The upcoming episodes are speculated to cause more friction between Harry and William's relationship.
'Harry & Meghan' Part 2 is scheduled to release on December 15.
