Meghan Markle’s Former Staffers Speak Out Again – Years After Bullying Claims
Meghan Markle may be celebrating her 44th birthday with Prince Harry and their children, but behind the scenes, a past controversy has come back into the spotlight — and it’s making headlines again.
What’s the Controversy About?
Back in 2021, just before Meghan and Harry’s explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, a royal reporter named Valentine Low published a report claiming that Meghan bullied palace staff members. At the time, the Sussexes said the allegations were just part of a smear campaign meant to damage Meghan’s reputation.
But now, several years later, former royal staffers are still talking about it, saying the emotional impact of working with Meghan has stayed with them — even though she and Harry have long since left the UK and their royal roles.
Staffers Say the Experience Still Haunts Them
In a new update published by the Daily Mail, reporter Valentine Low says that those former staffers are still dealing with the emotional stress and trauma from their time working for Meghan.
He claims the staffers were so worried about her possible reaction to the original article that they feared revenge — describing Meghan as someone with an "infinite capacity" for getting back at people.
Even though the couple has moved to the U.S., Low says the emotional scars haven’t faded for the staffers who were affected.
Legal Pressure From Meghan and Harry
Low also shared that before the article came out in 2021, Harry and Meghan’s legal team sent a very long letter to the publication — clearly showing they were concerned about how the story might make them look. But interestingly, once the article was actually published, they didn’t respond publicly at all.
Why Timing Mattered
Low added that if the bullying story had been released after the Oprah interview, people might’ve seen it as bitter backlash — not a serious issue. At that time, Meghan’s public image was that of a victim and a survivor, so any criticism might’ve been ignored or dismissed.
Final Thoughts
This renewed focus on the bullying allegations shows that old wounds haven’t fully healed, especially for the former palace staff. While Meghan and Harry have moved on to new projects and life in the U.S., some people who worked with them still feel affected by that experience.
It also highlights how public image, timing, and media coverage play a big role in shaping the way stories are received — especially when they involve high-profile figures like Meghan Markle.
