An investigation into Meghan Markle's bullying of royal staffers may not be part of the Sovereign Grant report his year. The Royal Household's annual financial statement may address the problem next year.
The Duchess of Sussex allegedly bullied some royal staff and Buckingham Palace's human resources was forced to investigate. The wife of Prince Harry denies the allegations.
The Times of London says the possible delay of the Markle inquiry may be a year. The newspaper said several sources said it won't be mentioned in the latest Sovereign Grant report.
However, the investigation continues and it may be part of next year's report - though there are theories it may be tackled privately. It may also "explore another way" to address the "suggested changes to its human resources policies and producers after the inquiry."
According to Fox News, before the couple's interview with Oprah Winfrey in March, allegations of the former actor's bullying emerged. Complaints against the 39-year-old royal started to leak to the British press.
Allegedly, Markle yelled at some employees over "small matters" and made big demands before her 2018 wedding. She even reduced some staff members to tears.
The "Suits" star has demanded her accusers provide evidence of their claims, Daily Mail said.
"The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself," Markle and Harry's representative said. She "is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma."
Buckingham Palace launched a human resources investigation. It promised not to tolerate any form of bullying and harassment and was concerned about the allegations.
Markle and Harry's communications secretary Jason Knauft filed a complaint in October 2018. "I am very concerned that the duchess was able to bully two personal assistants out of the household in the past year," it read, the New York Post said.
It said Markle's behavior was "totally unacceptable." Kanuft accused Markle of always having "someone in her sights."
