The witness confirmed the Duchess' story.

Much has been said for the reason that Meghan Markle made the shocking confession that a fireplace broke out in her son Archie's nursery whilst she and Prince Harry toured South Africa in 2019.

Lauren took Archie with her, meaning he luckily was not in the room when the hearth started. "In that amount of time that she went downstairs, the heater in the nursery caught on fire. There was once no smoke detector, any individual just happened to odor smoke down the hallway so they went in and the furnace was once extinguished. He was once supposed to be sound asleep in there.

"Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken. And what did we have to do? Go out and do some other legitimate engagement. And I said, 'This does not make any sense, can you simply inform people what happened?"
