Prince Harry Felt ‘Stabbed by a Thousand Knives’ After Hearing Russell Brand Brag About ‘Kissing’ Meghan Markle
A resurfaced clip has revealed comedian Russell Brand boasting about kissing Meghan Markle before she met Prince Harry. This revelation comes amid serious allegations of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse against Brand, which he has vehemently denied.
In a 2018 TV interview, Brand recalled “snogging” Meghan Markle while they were both working on the 2010 film *Get Him to the Greek*. Brand played rock star Aldous Snow, while Markle had a small role as a partygoer named Tatiana. During an appearance on ITV’s *Loose Women* shortly before Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry, Brand was asked if he had kissed the former *Suits* star. He responded, “She was in a film that I was in, *Get Him to the Greek*. I think I planted one on her in the scene. But that was scripted.”
Brand humorously suggested that his on-screen kiss with Meghan should be brought up at the royal wedding, adding, “If anyone has any reason… yeah, Russell Brand snogged her in the film!”
This light-hearted reminiscence has resurfaced as Brand faces serious accusations from four women, alleging rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013. Brand, who was a presenter on BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4 during this period and starred in several Hollywood films, has denied all allegations.
On Friday night, Brand posted a video statement on his YouTube channel, describing the allegations as a “coordinated attack” and firmly denying any criminal wrongdoing. He emphasized the seriousness of the claims, stating they had been put to him by two media outlets, The Times, The Sunday Times, and Channel 4’s *Dispatches*.
The allegations against Brand were uncovered through a joint investigation by Channel 4’s *Dispatches*, The Sunday Times, and The Times. The detailed report, which aired in a program on Saturday night, has brought significant media attention to Brand’s past behavior and has raised questions about his conduct during his career rise.
While the resurfaced clip of Russell Brand boasting about kissing Meghan Markle adds a curious footnote to their shared history in *Get Him to the Greek*, it pales in comparison to the gravity of the allegations currently facing Brand. As the investigation unfolds, the focus remains on the serious accusations and Brand’s staunch denials.
For Prince Harry, hearing Brand’s boastful comments about Meghan must have been particularly hurtful, adding another layer of complexity to their high-profile lives. The intersection of personal history with such severe allegations only heightens the public scrutiny on all involved.
