At one point, King said, "The Palace, also known as The Firm, has launched what appears to be a full-scale takedown of Meghan which is raging in the UK right now, saying she was a mean girl who mistreated staff, and if you meet Meghan Markle nothing could be further from the truth," King also spoke about the accusations of statutory rape against Prince Andrew who was supposedly a good friend of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew has so far denied all such allegations.
