Meghan Markle’s Royal Reputation Under Fire: New Allegations Emerge

In a fresh wave of controversy, Meghan Markle finds herself once again at the center of bullying allegations during her time as a working royal.

Back in March 2021, claims surfaced that she mistreated palace staff, leading to several employees quitting their positions, while others were reassigned or sought counseling.

The fallout from these accusations was significant, with some staff members reportedly receiving substantial payouts from Buckingham Palace.

In response to the uproar, the palace announced an investigation into the claims.

However, this move only fueled public and media frustration, particularly among those who felt wronged.

Ultimately, Buckingham Palace decided not to disclose the findings of the investigation, leaving many questions unanswered.

Omid Scobie, a close ally of Meghan, quickly issued a statement asserting her innocence, claiming she was a fair boss who never bullied anyone.

Despite Scobie's defense, it became evident that Meghan's name had not been entirely cleared.

As new revelations come to light, a forthcoming book titled “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown,” set to be released on October 6th, promises to reignite scrutiny over Meghan's behavior.

The book reportedly includes troubling accounts regarding the treatment of Samantha Cohen, the late Queen's former assistant private secretary, who worked with Meghan and Harry after their marriage.

Sources reveal that Cohen found her role challenging, likening her experience to working for “a couple of teenagers.”

She described Meghan and Harry as demanding and difficult to please, pushing her to her limits and making her time with them anything but enjoyable.

In response to these allegations, the Sussexes' legal team has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, labeling the claims as grossly inaccurate and emphasizing their gratitude toward Cohen.

The book also sheds light on Meghan's relationship with her personal assistant, Melissa Tubati.

Tubati allegedly faced bullying due to disagreements over gifts and other items received from commercial organizations.

According to the narrative, Tubati was merely adhering to royal protocol, which prohibits accepting such gifts.

However, this led to tensions that ultimately resulted in her departure after just six months.

Further accounts paint a picture of Meghan as a demanding employer, with reports indicating she publicly berated staff members.

One incident reportedly left a female staffer in tears after Meghan criticized a carefully crafted plan.

The author of the book recounts how a senior aide attempted to address Meghan's treatment of her staff, only to receive a dismissive response: “It's not my job to coddle people.”

The allegations do not stop there.

It has been reported that Meghan's behavior contributed to the resignation of two female personal assistants and eroded the confidence of a third.

These troubling accounts suggest a pattern of belittling behavior that has raised eyebrows among royal aides.

Scobie has characterized the palace's actions as a calculated smear campaign against Meghan, suggesting that the lack of a palace response to the bullying claims was intentional.

The question remains, however, why the Queen insisted that the findings of the bullying report would remain confidential.

If it were proven that Meghan engaged in bullying behavior while part of the royal family, it could open the door for those affected to pursue legal action against her.

Such a scenario would not only tarnish Meghan's reputation but also pose a significant threat to the royal family's image.

As the release date for “Courtiers” approaches, all eyes will be on the revelations within its pages.

The book is expected to stir up renewed scrutiny of Meghan Markle, further complicating her already tumultuous relationship with the royal family and the public.

With each new allegation, the saga of Meghan's time as a royal continues to unfold, leaving many wondering what the future holds for the Duchess of Sussex.
