A source told The Sunday Times last year: “I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like [bleep].”
The duchess has firmly rejected these characterizations.
Through a spokesperson, Meghan previously referred to the allegations as part of a “calculated smear campaign” intended to undermine her ahead of the explosive interview she and Prince Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Meghan Markle ‘bullying’ accusations
Despite criticism, Meghan has received support from former royal staff. In Tom Quinn’s 2025 book Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, some aides described her as someone who resisted the pressures of royal life—unlike Kate, who adapted quietly. One ex-staffer said, “You’ve got to hand it to her. She really is a fighter.”
The late Queen Elizabeth was known for expecting kindness toward palace staff and settling disputes calmly but firmly. While reports of a private reprimand haven’t been confirmed, they align with her discreet yet decisive style.
