The QCT Video Chat ~ aka The Sussex Audition Tape
On July 1, 2020, the Sussex duo took part in yet another video chat, this time with the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, where the duo puzzlingly still hold honorary positions, despite BP announci…harrymarkle.wordpress.com
Another great piece. They are spot on to say 'heavily edited' about the latest QCT video. I'll go further and think it's quite possible they weren't even on the call, but edited in afterwards. Watch the last minute and it's completely obvious. So if this was edited, who did that?
Then you have this weirdness from Newsweek, who seem now to be on the Harkles PR team. The story appeared yesterday evening.
Palace Support Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Talking About Race
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of upsetting Queen Elizabeth II after speaking out about the British Empire but Newsweek has learned the palace were told in advance.

The reporter Jack Royston has 'revealed' that BP were told in advance about this video and were 'fine' with their comments. None of the quotes in the piece sound like BP comments.
Buckingham Palace were told in advance about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's comments recognizing the British Empire's "uncomfortable" past and are "fine" with them, Newsweek can reveal. ....
(article goes on to say)
However, a well placed royal source has told Newsweek the couple have license to speak their minds on behalf of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust because it is a separate entity.
Prince Harry is president and Meghan is vice president of the trust, and the debate was flagged with Buckingham Palace first.
A royal source told Newsweek: "The Queen's Commonwealth Trust is a separate entity which is about giving opportunities to young people within the Commonwealth.
"It's fine, they're fulfilling that independent remit.
"Buckingham Palace knew about it so it's not a surprise or anything like that.
"The Queen's Commonwealth Trust was set up by Her Majesty as part of the relevance of giving young people an opportunity.
"Part of the work it's doing is looking at the history of the commonwealth. It's what they're there for and it's important for young people to look into it."
However, the source said it would be difficult for Queen Elizabeth II to back Black Lives Matter or speak out herself on Britain's colonial past.
They said: "I think you would have to look at it that anything like that would be very political and that is a topic you would not therefore expect her majesty to get drawn in on."
None of that sounds to me like the phrasing of a BP spokesperson, and why was this alleged 'royal source' given to Newsweek and not a British newspaper. Is the 'royal source' actually... Harry?
