Meghan Markle has been accused of harassing at least two palace aides during her short stint as senior British monarch.
Sources told the Times London f London that the Duchess of Sussex occasionally tears staff when she was staying at Kensington Palace after her marriage to Prince Harry in May 2018.
In one alleged incident, a royal aide, who was expecting a confrontation with Markle, told a colleague: “I can’t stop shaking.”
A UK newspaper report said two senior members of the palace staff were allegedly grandfathered to quit their jobs.
A third former assistant said he was personally insulted by the former TV actress.
Another former employee told the Times that the situation “feels like emotional cruelty and manipulation, which I guess can also be called bullying.”
The couple’s communications assistant at the time, Jason Knopf, reported the behavior in October-October 2018, seemingly in an effort to protect employees, the report said.
“I am very concerned that last year the Duchess was able to intimidate two PAs out of the house. “The treatment of X * was completely unacceptable,” the HR complaint read.
“The Duchess always seems intent on keeping someone in her sights,” Knopf reported. “He is Y’s grandfather and wants to lower his self-confidence. We have reports after reports of people seeing unacceptable behavior towards Y. ”
He added: “I’m worried nothing will be done.”
Sources in the paper said Buckingham Palace is more concerned with moving away rather than addressing the situation.
One person said, “The seniors in the house … knew they had a situation where staff members, especially young women, were being offended in tears.”
“It simply came to our notice then. There is a lot to answer for all the men in the gray suit that he hates, because they have done nothing to protect the people. “
A Sussex spokeswoman said Markle, 39, had denied all allegations of bullying, and “was saddened by this recent attack on her character, especially someone who targets herself as a bully.”
The allegations come ahead of all previous interviews the couple had with Oprah Winfrey – in which Markle claimed the royal family’s life was “almost insecure”.
He and Harry (the) will talk about their decision to leave the royal family and move to California with their baby son Archie.
