Harry and Meghan could face legal action over their explosive Netflix documentary series, GB News have claimed.
Host Dan Wootton interviewed American journalist and Youtuber Shallon Lester who he said was pictured in the documentary series as a ‘middle-aged housewife’ part of a ‘cabal’ organising negative online attacks on the Sussexes.
In a video posted on YouTube this week, Shallon branded the use of her image in the series as “defamation, slander, mischaracterisation and misinformation”, he said.
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, and 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 she believed “as a global citizenry” people were tired of Meghan and Harry presenting their “imagined victim narrative as fact”.
“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.”
