Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared numerous bombshell revelations in their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. But, she was reportedly accused of “lying” in one of her claims, particularly about turning over her passport to the royals.

The International News recently reported that some believed the claim was a lie after discovering she had traveled to at least 13 countries amid living the royal life. As noted, the discovery was published by The Sun soon after the Oprah interview debuted.

It was said to be “understood from royal sources” that the Duchess of Sussex’s passport “had to be kept safe” for safety and security. Even so, “she still would have had to use it on trips abroad.”

Meghan Markle shared with Oprah Winfrey that when she joined the British Royal Family, it was the last time she saw her “passport, driver’s license, and keys” until they came to the United States. She revealed that she did not see any of these things as “all that gets turned over.”

The Duchess of Sussex opened up about the matter to the celebrity host after noting that she “could not just go.” She said to Oprah that she has to “understand” before recalling how she turned over her belongings to the British Royal Family.

Page Six released a similar report at the time, noting what insiders told The Sun. As explained, all members of the British Royal Family are required to have a passport, especially on trips abroad, except Queen Elizabeth II.

As for the “13 holidays” Meghan Markle had during her time as a working royal, wherein she had to use and show her passport, these include her trips to Amsterdam, Italy, New York, Ibiza, and Botswana.

Royal author Margaret Holder, also, told The Sun at the time that the royal family “would want to keep [the Duchess of Sussex]’s passport safe.” She argued, however, that “it is unthinkable [Meghan Markle] did not carry it for personal and private trips, such as her New York baby shower, traveling to see friends in Canada, partying in Amsterdam, and going to Lake Como with George Clooney.”

Some netizens had their respective assertions, as well, regarding the matter. In a thread on Quora, one user asked why Meghan Markle revealed the turning over of her passport to the monarchy.

Respondents appeared to have slammed the former actress, saying she “likes sympathy.” One netizen, also, emphasized that she was talking in a way people “would think she was locked up in the Tower of London and only let out at certain times.”
