Read our privacy policy The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly requested edits to a first draft of Buckingham Palace’s official response to the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021. However, William and Kate reportedly wanted the statement to be “toughened up” and insisted it needed something to reflect that the family did not accept a lot of what Harry and Meghan had claimed. After the “recollections may vary” line was reportedly suggested by William’s private secretary Jean-Christophe Gray, there was debate over its inclusion amid fears it would “rile Harry and Meghan”. The insider said: “It was Kate who clearly made the point, ‘History will judge this statement and unless this phrase or a phrase like it is included, everything that they have said will be taken as true.’” The Independent has contacted Kensington Palace representatives for comment.
