Prince Harry Releases a Statement about The Ellen Interview with Meghan Markle - Did Meghan Lie About Her Relationship with the Royal Family?

Just when we thought the drama was over, we found ourselves inside a bigger one. This morning HRH Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex released a statement where he explained that many details Meghan Markle mentioned in her interview weren't true.

The royal family has remain in silence after the famous interview, but it seems the Duke was very hurt by Meghan's claims.

During her interview with Ellen, Meghan mentioned that she wasn't allowed to visit the Palace very often and that she only saw HM Queen Elizabeth II a handful of times.

HRH says on his statement that "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex was welcomed every time she wanted to see my family. Meghan chose not to have a close relationship with my family, who were very welcoming to her and tried to build a relationship with her which she refused by being rude and cold to them."

In another part of his statement the Prince said that "The Queen spends a lot of time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other members of her extended family. She would always be around whenever and be very warm to everyone."

If this is really what happened, then why did Meghan lied in her interview? Did she truly lie or is the Duke trying to make her look bad?

At the end of his statement, the Duke said that he was very upset about the way the interview portrayed his grandmother and family.

HRH said that "Both the Queen and my family were not as strict or rude as they were portrayed in the interview by Meghan. My family welcomed Meghan into the family with opened arms, and such conversation between them before the wedding never happened." Then the Duke added "My grandmother did talk to her about her duties, but not in the way it is explained in the interview. Every person who is to marry into the royal family is explained what his or her duties will be, as a guideline."

It is clear the the Duke released his statement to clear his family's image.

Is the Duke telling the truth? Was Meghan actually very well treated by the royal family?

Prince Harry: No one in royal family wants to rise to throne

LONDON – Britain's Prince Harry has suggested that no one in the royal family really wishes to rise to the throne — and that it is duty, rather than desire, that prompts them to continue serving the British people.

In an interview with Newsweek magazine, Harry said the House of Windsor is "not doing this for ourselves but for the greater good of the people." He also spoke openly about his distress at having to walk behind his mother's coffin as a 12-year-old boy in full public view, saying: "I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances."

The 32-year-old royal was recalling the day in 1997 when he joined his brother Prince William, then 15, and other members of the royal family in a funeral procession through London's streets for Princess Diana, who died in a car accident.

"My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television," he said.

Harry made candid remarks about being a royal — and his determination to lead as ordinary a life as he could.

"Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don't think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time," he said.

He does his own shopping, he added — and would continue to do so "even if I was king."

"People would be amazed by the ordinary life William and I live," he said. "My mother took a huge part in showing me an ordinary life, including taking me and my brother to see homeless people. Thank goodness I'm not completely cut off from reality."

Asked whether he worried that an "ordinary" royal would make the family "too accessible," Harry said: "It's a tricky balancing act. We don't want to dilute the magic ... The British public and the whole world need institutions like it."

Harry and I officially kicked off our two-day visit to Leeds on Thursday. It was our first official public engagement as a married couple.

We attended the Leeds Leads: Encouraging Happy Young Minds charity fair, where we took part in a panel and addressed the mental well-being of the city's young people.

Harry praised the community for their commitment to encouraging people to seek help for mental health problems.

"I have been so impressed by the commitment of this City and the Leeds Community Foundation in focusing on mental health. You have been leading the way in bringing funding and expertise together in support of local community solutions." He said.

I said a few words but mostly I let Harry do all the talking since this trip was also to promote as the patron of the Rugby Football League.

We then spent our afternoon at the Sky Try Rugby League Festival, which aims to inspire students across Leeds to take up the sport.

Not only did we turn on the charms while coaching a group of kids and chatting it up with the team's mascot, but Harry also fully embraced his new role as patron of the Rugby Football League.

The following day, we paid a special visit to the home of a little boy named Oliver, who is receiving support from WellChild's Helping Hands project.

Harry is a patron of the charity, and the project will help transform Oliver's garden into a space that he can finally access safely and enjoy with his siblings.

We then concluded our trip with a heartwarming visit to the Leeds Children's Hospital, where we met with several young patients and their families.

"I'm not in the mood, Harry." I said.

Harry walks closer to me. I try to take a step back, but my back his the kitchen counter.

Our bodies were a few inches away from each other. I sniffed him. He smelled so good.

He chuckled.

"Did you just sniff me?" He asked.

"Your cologne. It's mesmerizing." I answered.

He smiled. He puts his hands on the kitchen counter, leaning towards me as my heart races as he places a kiss on my lips.

I melt into the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and Harry lifts me up on the kitchen counter.

His fingertips trail down the length of my leg and then he slips his hand under my dress.

"Harry...take me to the bedroom." I said.

He smirked and lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his torso.

"A long night ahead of us." Harry said.

I shook my head and laughed.

"No, I have engagements tomorrow but we can stay up a little longer." I said.
