According to commentator Tom Sykes, several past employees have described difficult experiences while working for the Duchess of Sussex. Speaking on The Royalist podcast by The Daily Beast, Sykes claimed that some former staff members were reminded of negative workplace moments after a recent public appearance involving Meghan and Prince Harry.
The discussion centered around a circulating clip in which Meghan appeared to react sharply when Sarah Fosmo placed a hand on Prince Harry during an event. Observers on social media interpreted Meghan’s facial expression as tense, sparking renewed online criticism and prompting former employees to revisit their own experiences.
Sykes alleged that one former staff member said the footage brought back “traumatic” memories, claiming Meghan often maintained a warm public appearance while showing a very different attitude behind the scenes. According to the commentator, some ex-employees believed this behavior reflected a pattern they had witnessed during their time working with her.
Over the years, Meghan has faced a number of accusations from former staff regarding her management style, with reports suggesting that some employees privately gave her unflattering nicknames tied to what they viewed as demanding behavior. While these claims remain part of ongoing media speculation, they have contributed to a broader public narrative about tensions behind palace and post-royal operations.
The latest resurfaced allegations quickly spread across social media, where users reacted by creating memes and sharing commentary about Meghan’s interaction at the event. Critics argued that the moment appeared to reveal frustration, while supporters cautioned that facial expressions captured in brief video clips can easily be misinterpreted.
As public attention remains fixed on Meghan and Harry’s post-royal life, stories from former employees continue to generate headlines, fueling both criticism and debate over the Duchess’s leadership style and the pressures of life in the public eye.
