Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly demanding answers after receiving a “huge kick in the teeth”, according to a source.

The source said: “The fact they didn’t get an Emmy nod is a huge kick in the teeth.
“They’re convinced there’s been an orchestrated hate campaign against them on both sides of the Atlantic, and that certain people are trying to get in on the act.”
Speaking to Heat Magazine, the insider added that the couple are now demanding a “full request” on who is to blame.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly want to know who “put the boot in and what on earth they’ve got to do to catch a break”.
