Harry and Meghan potentially facing major legal action over Netflix docuseries

Harry and Meghan might be facing legal action over their bombshell Netflix documentary series, according to GB News.

Host Dan Wootton interviewed American journalist and YouTuber Shallon Lester whose video featured in the show, depicting her as a 'middle-aged housewife' that was part of a 'cabal' organising hateful trolling attacks on the Sussexes.

In a video posted on YouTube this week, Shallon slammed the Duke and Duchess as she argued that the use of her image in the series was "defamation, slander, mischaracterisation and misinformation", the Express reports.

Speaking to Dan Wootton last night, Shallon said: "If you're going to go on a documentary and present something as fact, you better be able to back it up.

"I take umbrage. I was described as middle-aged and a housewife, I am neither.

"I grew up in a time when documentaries were factual, fact-checked, I'm a journalist, there's a journalistic process and there's something called integrity, honesty and truth.

"And this documentary presented a conspiracy theory as fact with not one screenshot, not one DM, not one YouTube clip, nothing to support it."

Shallon added that she was of the opinion "as a global citizenry" that people are fed up of Harry and Meghan presenting their "imagined victim narrative as fact".

She continued: "Eventually you are going to make claims that are not only false, but defamatory, and the buck is going to have to stop somewhere with someone, and that someone is me."
