New assertions There are "glaring and fascinating echoes" of Meghan Markle's time spent in the Royal Family, according to an expert, which is why her staff has given her the nickname "Duchess Difficult."
A source has asserted that the Duchess of Sussex "does not take advice" and "belittles people" in light of the fact that both Prince Harry and Meghan appear to have a high turnover of workers for their new endeavors headquartered in the United States.
The allegations, which were published in the Hollywood Reporter, came just a few weeks after it was reported that Harry's chief of staff, Josh Kettler, had resigned from his position after only three months, citing "both sides agreeing it wasn't the right fit."
Valentine Low, a former royal writer at The Times who reported on bullying charges against Meghan when she was a working royal and prompted an investigation, has now spoken out on the latest allegations. The allegations were made in response to the initial allegations.
"It does have some glaring and fascinating echoes of everything I wrote, and that others have written before, about Meghan. She clearly has certain standards but, on the other hand, the demands she makes of people may not always reflect what's possible—she may demand too much. I don't think Harry and Meghan are in the business of either listening to anyone else or changing,” the “Courtiers” author told Newsweek.
Just a few days prior to the airing of Harry and Meghan's contentious tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, the charges that were published in the article that was published in the Times in March 2021 were made.
After it was alleged that Meghan drove out two personal assistants and staff members were "humiliated" on multiple occasions, Buckingham Palace initiated an investigation and invited former and current employees to speak in confidence about their experiences working for Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex vehemently refutes these allegations.
"Let's just call this what it is — a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation. We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of the Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet. It's no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining the duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and the duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years,” a spokesperson for Meghan stated at the time.
The results of the investigation were anticipated to be made available to the general public. On the other hand, it was disclosed in July 2022 that the results of the evaluation would not be included in a report that would be provided regarding the Sovereign Grant for that particular year.
Buckingham Palace has stated that adjustments are going to be made in light of the lessons that have been learned; nevertheless, the household has been reluctant to provide any specifics.
Business Times has reached out to Meghan Markle for comments.
