The Duke and Duchess of England seem to be in legal trouble - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be facing a defamation case by Youtuber Shallon Lester. In the documentary series 'Harry and Meghan' which was about their lives was released last year, it was claimed that a majority of the negative comments posted online about the duke and duchess were from a few accounts, and YouTuber Shallon Lester’s image was shown as an example of one of those accounts.
Lester has made several videos discussing Harry and Markle’s relationship, but in a new video she shared yesterday, she is taking issue with their use of her image. “Believe me when I say I’m pursuing every opportunity – my lawyer’s gonna be mad at me – to nail their a– to the wall for this,” she declared in the video.
“It’s defamation, it’s slander, it’s mischaracterization. And you know what else it is? Misinformation.” she added. She further added, “Meghan and Harry can’t seem to accept the plain truth: people don’t like them. They don’t like them on a micro level, people like me, where I’m like, ‘I can see what a s—ty a— person you are, Meghan. I can see how manipulative you are.’”
YouTube star Shallon Lester vowed to pursue legal action against Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, hoping to “nail their ass” for allegedly “defaming” her in their Netflix documentary. In their bombshell six-part series, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex implied that Lester was part of an online hate campaign against the couple.
A video clip from Lester’s YouTube account was highlighted in a montage where it was alleged that 70 percent of 114,000 hateful posts directed at the couple came from 83 social media accounts. She has since called the claims “a festival of bulls–t” in a YouTube video shared with fans Tuesday.

“Believe me when I say I’m pursuing every opportunity to nail their ass to the wall for this,” said Lester, who boasts over 346,000 subscribers on the platform. Slamming the recent news of the pair parting ways with Spotify and subsequently losing out on their plush $20 million deal, Lester said the duchess has “a terrible work ethic.”
“And it seems that now Spotify has cut ties with her, everybody is coming out of the woodwork to denounce this couple’s terrible work ethic, [they’re] entitled, bizarre, self-aggrandizing attitude, and general unlikability.”
Meghan and Harry released their six-part Netflix documentary in December 2022. “It is defamatory, slanderous and I am discussing legal action with my team against Meghan and Harry, and Bot Sentinel CEO Christopher Bouzy for his unfounded statements presented as facts,” Lester said.
“I challenge anyone associated with this documentary to prove these claims of a shadow network,” she continued, adding, “The very fact that they assume there’s some sort of global conspiracy against them is exactly why everyone despises them so much.”
Lester said Meghan and Harry are “paranoid and self-aggrandizing” and “can’t fathom the idea that their boring, entitled victim narratives make them grating, cringey a–holes. Simple as that.” Tensions between Lester and the Sussexes ran high after she appeared in a segment in their documentary about a trolling conspiracy against the couple.
