The issue about Meghan Markle bullying palace staff continuously hunts her. Nearly a couple of years after this controversy emerged, the former palace aides, who accused Prince Harry's wife of bullying them, stick to their stories.
Valentine Low, author of "Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition, and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor," revealed Meghan Markle's alleged bullying victims remain true to their claims. These people are firm that the Duchess of Sussex bullied them.
Though the journalist admitted to Page Six that he couldn't tell the truth about the allegations as he wasn't there when it happened, he stressed he had yet to hear the former actress' side. "But my sources still very much stick to their story," he said.
Before the Sussexes held their explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Times of London published a story claiming that the former "Suits" star occasionally put her staff members to tears when she was still at Kensington Palace.
Allegedly, Meghan Markle bullied two palace staff members into leaving their jobs. Jason Knauf, the royal couple's communication back then, reported the behavior in October 2018.
His HR complaint claimed he was "very concerned" that duchess bullied two PAs "out of the household" in the past year. He even called the treatment of "X" "totally unacceptable."
Knauf continued that Meghan Markle always wanted "someone in her sights." He also accused her of bullying "Y" and undermining her confidence.
Aside from him, he claimed there was report after report of what happened from people who had witnessed the "unacceptable behavior" toward Y. "I remain concerned that nothing will be done," he stated. Later, the palace announced it would launch an investigation, though the result would not be public.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry defended his wife against the bullying allegations made against her in his memoir, "Spare." He claimed that the palace HR asked the assistant who resigned to leave her job after showing evidence that she had traded on her position with Meghan Markle to "get freebies."
However, as they weren't allowed to speak publicly, rumors started to "fill the void." At the time, the press had so many demands, wanting them to clear a constant stream of errors, but they didn't have enough workforce or resources to keep up.
Hence, they could only address 10 percent of the claims, and all feedback was seen as an affront and insult. Prince Harry witnessed how a staff member slumped across their deck and wept more than once, and all the blame was on Meghan Markle, who remained calm and didn't even say bad words to anyone.
