And the Sussexes only went on TV to talk about this in order to set the record straight about the way that they had been attacked in the British press, often via leaks coming from the royal household. Why shouldn't they be allowed to tell their side of the story?

I really hate this "playing the victim" accusation when someone has actually been harmed and is, in fact, a victim. It's such an obvious way to simply marginalize them further and try to shut them up.
