Prince Harry and Meghan Markle React to New Allegations by Former Employees
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry find themselves at the center of controversy once again, as a bombshell Vanity Fair report brings forth fresh claims from former staff members.
In the recently published cover story, the Duchess of Sussex is accused of "bullying" behavior, with former staffers sharing troubling accounts of their experiences working with the couple. These allegations echo similar accusations made by Kensington Palace staff before Harry and Meghan stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020. At that time, Queen Elizabeth had ordered an investigation into the alleged bullying behavior towards two royal aides
Representatives for Harry and Meghan have strongly denied the allegations, calling them the "latest attack on her character."
The Vanity Fair article features testimonies from several sources, many of whom reiterate the earlier accusations made by Palace staff. One former staffer involved in media projects for the couple described their experience as "really, really, really awful. Very painful." They claimed that if you weren’t in Meghan’s inner circle, you were "thrown to the wolves at any given moment."
Another source, who worked on Meghan’s podcast, revealed that they took a leave of absence after completing just three episodes and never returned. Several others shared similar experiences, saying they took "extended breaks from work to escape scrutiny, exited their jobs, or underwent long-term therapy" after working with the Duchess.
According to sources quoted by *The Times*, Harry and Meghan were deeply upset by the article’s publication, describing the allegations as "distressing." While it remains unclear if the couple will issue a formal statement addressing the matter, they appear to be focusing on positive publicity by engaging in relief efforts for survivors of the recent Southern California wildfires.
As the fallout from the exposé continues, the Sussexes’ response and actions will undoubtedly remain under public scrutiny.
