Newsweek reports that royal author Andrew Morton isn't convinced that Meghan Markle was living a life of isolation during her years working in the royal family. In fact, the expert refutes the Duchess of Sussex's claims of not being able to see friends and barely leaving the house in new chapters for his biography "Meghan: A Hollywood Princess."

"She also claimed that over one four-month period, she had only twice left the house, again indicating that she was a lonely prisoner hidden away by the men in grey. Yet she was seen out on numerous occasions: dinner and lunch appointments in Notting Hill, beauty treatments in Kensington and various shopping trips," Morton wrote. "Though she was snapped by the paparazzi, British newspapers declined to buy photographs of these excursions.

"She also felt silenced and trapped by the system; her passport, driver's license and keys were taken away from her as though she were entering an open prison," the author continued. "That didn't stop her, though, from making numerous speeches on female empowerment, equality and other issues while traveling around the world on private and commercial aircraft. It was a curious kind of muzzling."

It seems that Morton, like others who have spoken out, finds Meghan's claims a bit confusing. However, the duchess has stood firm in her comments about feeling oppressed and seems unafraid to share her story in the months since her royal exit.
