Meghan Markle has been dubbed ‘Duchess Difficult’ by her staff amid claims that she ‘terrifies’ and ‘belittles’ people, a damning report has revealed.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a source close to the couple has claimed that Meghan ‘belittles people, she doesn’t take advice’.
They also described the couple as ‘both poor decision-makers’ who ‘change their minds frequently’ – with Harry dubbed ‘a very, very charming person’ and yet ‘very much an enabler’.
The publication reported allegations that Meghan was ‘absolutely relentless’ and that ‘she marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders’, adding: ‘I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears’.
The new claims come as the couple prepare to celebrate the Duke of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 turning 40 on Sunday, as separate sources suggested he was feeling increasingly lonely in the US and considers his security guard David Langdown his best friend.
The new allegations form part of a study into an exodus of staff who had worked for the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es, including the couple’s chief of staff Josh Kettler who resigned from his role in August after a three-month stint.
Meghan’s ‘noisy tantrums’ and ‘angry 5 am emails’ have also earned her the nickname ‘Duchess Difficult’ by her members of staff, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Meghan had recently been blamed for harassing castle staff before the pair’s transition to California, provoking imperial helpers to send off an investigation into cases of Meghan’s ‘deprecating’ conduct towards two individual colleagues.
Staff were said to have been left in tears and feeling ‘damaged’ – with a comparing their condition to having post-horrendous pressure.
While subtleties of the report were never uncovered, the claims have forever been emphatically denied by the duchess, whose legal counselors depicted them at the time as a ‘determined slanderous attack’.
The new reports come after it was uncovered last week by The Mail on Sunday that the Duke and Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍’s PR consultant Christine Weir Schirmer had left unobtrusively toward the finish of last year subsequent to joining the couple as head of correspondences for their altruistic establishment Archewell in 2020.
Insight about Schirmer’s takeoff came only weeks after it was accounted for that Kettler had surrendered after his short spell working for the couple.
While Kettler had been employed on a preliminary premise when he took up the job with Harry and Meghan, US magazine Individuals revealed that the ‘choice to head out in different directions was common, with the two sides concurring it wasn’t the right fit’.
Be that as it may, the takeoffs of Schirmer and Kettler have just featured the issues Meghan and Harry have long had with regards to keeping their staff.
The couple have gained a reputation for losing employees, and are believed to have lost at least 18 members of their workforce since they married in 2018.
Nine or more have left their roles since the couple escaped Britain for California in 2020, including their global press secretary Toya Holness and Meghan’s top aide and private secretary Samantha Cohen.
A spokesperson for the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
Meanwhile, Harry did issue a statement on Friday night telling of his excitement at turning 40, saying: ‘Bring on the new decade.’
The Duke will mark the milestone on Sunday privately with Meghan and their children Archie, five and three-year-old Lilibet.
He is then thought to be planning a getaway for a weekend with his closest friends, Sky News reported.
His message paid tribute to his two ‘incredibly kind and funny’ children, adding they had ‘sharpened his focus in all my work’.
Harry told the BBC: ‘Whatever the age, my mission is to continue showing up and doing good in the world. Bring on the next decade.’
Buckingham Castle and Kensington Royal residence are both yet to show whether they will effectively stamp Harry’s large birthday.
Pressures inside the imperial family since Harry and Meghan left for another life in the US in 2020 have just deteriorated throughout the next years, particularly following the distribution of Harry’s journal Spare in January last year.
He guaranteed his sibling William, the Sovereign of Grains, 42, had marked Meghan ‘troublesome’, ‘inconsiderate’ and ‘rough’, and, surprisingly, blamed the senior kin for driving him into a canine bowl.
The most recent conflict came on Monday, when a Netflix mystery for a narrative called Polo – delivered by the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es’ creation organization – was delivered only hours after the Princess of Ribs shared a video denoting the finish of her chemotherapy treatment.
