MEGHAN Markle makes veiled threats hinting at a secret royal bombshell - but her plan won't work - an expert claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has alluded to the fact she has "receipts" that could back up her allegations against The Firm since quitting the UK in 2020.

Harry and Meghan have repeatedly trashed the Royal Family, from their infamous 2021 Oprah interview, their Netflix docuseries, the Duke's book Spare, and his most recent explosive BBC interview.
In particular, their appearance on Oprah sparked huge controversy after the couple claimed there had been conversations about Archie's skin colour.
They also alleged Meghan's suffering mental health, during her time as part of the institution, had not been addressed.
But royal expert Jack Royston sat down with The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson and argued it wouldn't matter if the Sussexes did plan on dropping any more bombshells.
He told The Royal Exclusive show: "The problem is with the way Harry and Meghan piled in quite relentlessly on the royals.
"Particularly, I do think the Oprah interview, they did botch it... it could have been done differently and better in a way that would be less toxic and destructive.
"The racism allegation, they have clearly tried to change it retrospectively or row it back.
"So, obviously, Meghan botched how she described that story.
"But there's always been this thing that Meghan's kind of intimated that she's got receipt, that was in the days after Oprah, one of her friends went on ITV and said, 'we've got the receipts to prove everything'.
"There was also a point where she was giving an interview and she said 'I've never signed anything, so I can say whatever I want'.
Harry's 'peace talks' have scheming Meghan's hand all over them, he looks lost in his sad little life
"So, she's always had this tendency to give these kind of slightly veiled threats that she's sitting on this bombshell.
"There was one point I think they suggested they'd found their diaries that they kept during these periods.
"They've always been floating these ideas that they're sitting on a kind of a massive nuclear warhead that they can drop at any point."
'DESTROYED THEMSELVES'
However, Mr Royston claimed the Sussexes have become "villains" in the UK - and aren't particularly popular in the US now either.
He believed their lack of fan support would see any further allegations dismissed relatively rapidly.
The expert added how he did not think any of the royals would be "scared" of any more digs.
"Ultimately, they destroyed themselves by the way they basically relentlessly attacked Harry's own family in a context where no-one was fighting back," he continued.
"And so, they may well still be sitting on unused material that Harry says he'll never share.
"But it doesn't matter anymore because even if they did, they're so uniformly viewed as the villains, particularly in Britain, but even in America, they're not viewed in this protective way anymore.
"So, even if they are sitting on some unexploded bombs, I don't actually think that the royals need to be too scared of it."
Prince Harry and Meghan's £100million deal with Netflix SCRAPPED in 'huge loss of revenue' for couple
By Clemmie Moodie, Assistant Editor, The Sun
PRINCE Harry and wife Meghan's £100million deal with Netflix has been scrapped.
The streamer will not renew their contract when it expires in September.
The Sussexes and Netflix have mutually decided not to make an official announcement.
But streaming execs have quietly agreed to part ways.
It comes after Harry's vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people.
It was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority.
A source said: 'The deal is done; no more shows will be made.
'Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple.
'Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair.
'They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time.
'The content got weaker from there on but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing.
'There's no animosity from either side.
'Things have just run their course.
'Netflix execs are well aware Meghan's priority now is her own brand, and they won't play second fiddle to that.
'Publicly, there will not be a statement and of course, if things change dramatically, they'd be open to a one-off project down the line.
'But for Harry, especially, this will be a blow.
'It's a huge loss of revenue.'
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is believed to remain on good terms with Meghan.
The source said streamer Paramount+ was thought to be keen to work with the couple, who would be open to it if the right project came along.
This comes after a secret peace summit was held between Prince Harry and King Charles' aides, which sparked hope for royal fans hoped their icy relationship would thaw.
But it appears there will be no reconciliation between the father and son.
Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, royal expert Robert Jobson said Prince Harry will have to make people forget that he sold out his family if he wants a comeback.
Meanwhile, The Sun's Royal show asked viewers if they wanted to see the two reconcile, and a staggering 73% said no.
Robert said: "I think it's too late. Too much has gone under the bridge, in my opinion. Too much water."
Sky News royal editor Rhiannon Mills agreed, saying Harry had thrown his family "under the bus".
She added: "The biggest issue for Harry and Meghan, is that an awful lot has been said.
"The whole family kind of went under the bus, really, in the documentaries and in Spare. And there are lots of things that they cannot erase in terms of what's been said."
Inside Prince William and Prince Harry's 'feud'
TENSIONS have been running high in the royal family since Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle.
Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. ​
The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year.
Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle.
But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare - and they are said to have not been in direct contact since the 2023 release.
In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan.
The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry.
The bitter feud was ignited when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour.
It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan's former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame.
During the infamous Oprah interview, the duchess also made stinging comments about the Firm and how they handled her mental health struggles.
Prince William and Harry's bond then worsened after the Sussexes made a number of accusations against the Royal Family in their 2022 Netflix docuseries.
The duke has given subsequent interviews, such as his most BBC chat in May 2025, that have only propelled bad blood.
Robert also revealed that the Duke of Sussex's recent trip to Angola, where Princess Diana went, also did nothing to sway the public on letting him back into the royal family.
Prince Harry recently followed in his mum's footsteps walking through minefields in Angola and speaking to the charity Halo, who help clear them, something he also did in 2019.
The royal expert said: "But the reality was that was a big deal then.
"It wasn't a big deal this time around. So he's not got the same draw that he had. He must know that. When you've trashed your family and monetised it."
Earlier this month, Meredith Maines, Meghan and Harry's chief of staff in California, and Liam Maguire, the head of their UK PR operation, met Charles's communication secretary Tobyn Andreae at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House.
The secret peace summit sparked rumours a reconciliation is in the works, but Prince William's team was notably absent.
The Duke revealed in his bombshell BBC interview "life is precious" and "I would like to get my father and brother back".
He reportedly hasn't seen Charles in years with his last direct communication with brother William coming in 2022.
The feuding brothers reportedly didn't even speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year.
