The allegations that Meghan Markle's work-related "rampages" have caused some of her employees to be "reduced to tears" have prompted criticism. A former employee of Kensington Palace once referred to these "meltdowns" as "rampages."
"Everyone’s terrified of Meghan. She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice,” an unnamed source told The Hollywood Reporter.
According to the anonymous insider, the former cast member of "Suits" is "absolutely relentless" when it comes to issuing commands, and she "marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders."
"They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler. And she’s just terrible,” the undisclosed informant said of Meghan and Prince Harry combined.
Josh Kettler, the former chief of staff of the besieged royal rebels, learned this the hard way. This is in addition to the fact that the former working royals have lost 18 critical personnel, nine of whom have left ways with the duo since their arrival in Montecito, California, in the year 2020.
During the period spanning from the middle of 2018 to the beginning of 2020, this number also encompasses former staff members who currently hold top working royal positions. The employees of Kensington Palace even made a joke about calling themselves the "Sussex Survivor's Club," since some of them claimed to suffering from mild Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of Meghan's "reign of h---."
"Perhaps there should be a Montecito arm of the Sussex Survivors' Club,” another former Sussex staff claimed, as per OK! Magazine.
In the run-up to his wedding in 2018, Prince Harry did tell Angela Kelly, a seasoned royal fashion designer and the longtime dresser of the late Queen Elizabeth II, that "Meghan wants, Meghan gets." The fact that they could "give two flying s--- what that woke Stepford wife psychopath wants" is becoming increasingly apparent to many members of the workforce after 18 years of service.
According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan faced a high turnover of personnel shortly after their wedding. This was apparently due to the fact that numerous top aides left their positions due to the challenging working conditions.
There were several high-profile employees that left their positions, including personal assistant Melissa Toubati, private secretary Samantha Cohen, and senior communications secretary Jason Knauf. All of these individuals cited difficulties in meeting the demands of the pair.
The pattern continued as Meghan's bodyguard, several nannies, and Sarah Latham, who was in charge of public relations, all left their positions, highlighting the difficulties that were encountered when attempting to provide service to the couple.
Following the controversial interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave to Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, claims appeared that Meghan had bullied Buckingham Palace servants. This led to an investigation being conducted by an outside law firm, but the findings were never made public.
During their time in California, Meghan and Prince Harry endured even more staff turnover, as they parted ways with their long-term talent agent Nick Collins and their close friend Keleigh Thomas-Morgan. The chief of communications, Toya Holness, as well as Archewell executives Catherine St-Laurent and Mandana Dayani, as well as Oscar-nominated film producer Ben Browning, who departed after Spotify canceled Archewell's podcast, are among the more famous departures.
