MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry took a savage swipe at the Queen’s “recollections may vary” response to their Oprah interview, their pals have revealed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly believed Her Majesty did not take “full ownership” of the issues raised in their bombshell chat back in March.
The Queen responded with a statement 36 hours after the interview was broadcast, saying she was “saddened by the claims” but that “some recollections may vary”.
Now, in a new chapter of Finding Freedom featured in PEOPLE, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand say the comment “did not go unnoticed”.
They write: “The Queen’s ‘recollections may vary’ comment ‘did not go unnoticed by the couple, who a close source said were ‘not surprised’ that full ownership was not taken.
“‘Months later and little accountability has been taken’, a pal of Meghan added. ‘How can you move forward with that?'”

In response, a statement from the Palace said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
The Palace has not issued any update beyond its initial statement on the matter.
