Royal Palace Enhances HR Policies Following Investigation Into Meghan Markle’s Bullying Allegations

An investigation into the alleged bullying by Meghan Markle at the royal palace has concluded, according to a senior palace advisor.

The report's findings will not be disclosed publicly, but significant improvements have been made to HR policies for royal staff as a result of the investigation.

Meghan Markle has vehemently denied the allegations made against her.

During a briefing on Wednesday, a senior palace aide revealed that while the report's conclusions will not be made public, the palace has implemented the recommendations from the investigation.

All employees and members of the royal family are now expected to be familiar with the updated regulations and procedures.

New initiatives include a policy outlining how employees can raise concerns or blow the whistle on any inappropriate behavior within the royal household.

Staff are encouraged to report any complaints through independent counselors if necessary, ensuring that there are no restrictions on addressing issues within the workplace.

The Duchess of Sussex strongly refuted the claims made in a report by The Times, which alleged that she had been the subject of a bullying complaint by one of her close advisors while working as a royal at Kensington Palace.

Buckingham Palace initiated the review in response to these allegations.

Following the publication of The Times' article, a spokesperson for Meghan stated that she was deeply saddened by the attack on her character, emphasizing her commitment to supporting those who have experienced bullying.

The palace announced an investigation into the claims the following day.

Sir Michael Stevens, keeper of the Privy Purse and a top Palace advisor, confirmed that the privately funded assessment had been completed.

The evaluation aimed to assess how complaints were handled and suggest potential changes to HR policies and processes within the royal households.

Despite tensions between the Sussexes and the Wales courts, the royal couple aims to strengthen their reputation in the United States.

While Prince Harry is scheduled to attend a racial justice celebration in New York shortly after William and Kate's visit, the Sussexes are also preparing for the release of their Netflix documentary, despite attempts to delay its airing until 2023.

Reports suggest that the couple received a substantial £88 million advance for the project.
