CNN has been accused of censoring its own report on “inconsistencies” in Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The network’s London reporter Max Foster debunked some of the duchess’s claims on air 18 days after her explosive chat with Oprah.

Foster revealed that Royal Family staffers had gone out of their way to accomodate Meghan after her marriage to Prince Harry.
It was also mentioned for the first time that the Queen had sent two of her closest confidantes – her dresser Angela Kelly and lady in waiting Susan Hussey – to help Meghan prepare for her new life.
Foster’s report, titled “Royal Reckoning: Inconsistencies in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview”, criticised seven of Meghan’s claims.
He said: “Whether or not you’re Team Sussex, it’s hard to argue against the profound issues raised by the Oprah Winfrey interview, especially around suicide prevention and confronting racism, wherever it may live.”
However, he then added that “critics of the couple are pointing to inconsistencies in the tell-all”.
‘HIDDEN FROM VIEW’
Video of the segment was later reportedly deleted from CNN’s website, and was never mentioned on air again.
A US media insider told the MailOnline: “The CNN report was the first instance a left-leaning US outlet came forward to negate a lot of what the Sussexes said. It felt like a real turning point here.
“However, it seems that CNN has gone to great lengths to make the report close to impossible to find online.
“The original link now leads to the CNN homepage, even though there are pages on pages of positive written coverage of the Sussexes when you search for them.
“Max Foster’s original report has had the headline and description removed from it online, which means it is impossible to search for.
“That seems like an unusual clanger from such a respected global news site, especially when Meghan is still one of the most googled people in the world.
