> [Prince Harry](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/prince-harry/?ref=goodoil.news) and [Meghan](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/meghan-markle/?ref=goodoil.news)’s rocky start to 2025 has become a full-blown PR crisis in the wake of a damning new exposé, with sources close to the pair describing the latest claims as “distressing”.

> With Meghan on the cusp of finally launching her major new post-royal rebrand as a homewares and lifestyle guru, the timing couldn’t be worse – and according to the UK’s *Times*, sources close to the couple have admitted the latest brutal claims are “distressing”, though they added that they have “dismissed” them.  
>  
> Worse still is the fact the article was published by *Vanity Fair*, who has typically been supportive of the Sussexes in the past, and even featured Meghan on its cover in 2017 in a flattering profile piece, titled: “Wild About Harry”.
