Prince Harry + Duchess Meghan: bad bosses? Employees unpack

Former employees raise allegations against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: As superiors, they are often said to have behaved incorrectly.

“Shortly after the engagement, Meghan hosted a hunting party for Harry’s friends in Sandringham,” a high-ranking source close to the palace claims in The Telegraph. “She ordered individually embroidered blankets in red for each of the guests. When they arrived, they weren’t the right shade of red for Meghan and she left [ihre Mitarbeiterin] Melissa mentally “.

The personal assistant is said to have been so badly affected by her boss’s behavior that she quit six months after the Sussexes’ wedding. Prince Harry is also said to have struck the wrong note. A former employee of the Royals claims that the now 36-year-old had “behaved horribly for months”, was “rude, petty and stressed”.


High standards for the wedding

Another person reports that Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry insisted on planning their wedding with the same budget as Prince William, 38, and Duchess Catherine, 39. An unusual requirement is that William is the heir to the throne. “She got the choir she wanted, the dress, the procession in the carriage, the tiara. She got everything she wanted, but it still wasn’t enough,” the informant notes of Meghan. “She kept looking for reasons to say she was being disadvantaged. Besides, she wanted drama from the start.” The wedding preparations were therefore “very stressful” for everyone involved.

The Sussexes are said to have unduly claimed their employees

After the wedding in May 2018, Harry and Meghan are said to have continued to be demanding of the staff. “The last thing we did before bed was reply to them on their messages and the first thing we did in the morning was to reply to them on their messages. Weekends, holidays – there were no limits. They were them on their cell phones all the time. ” Court reporters point out that it is an honor for many people to work for the royal family and that they would therefore accept a rather manageable salary. A circumstance that Harry and Meghan allegedly took advantage of. And not only that.

Have Harry and Meghan put psychological problems on their staff?

“They marginalize you, weaken your self-esteem, talk down to you. One minute you are in – the next you are a persona non grata […]. I’ve never seen behavior like this before. I wish I had never seen behind the scenes, “explains a former employee in drastic terms. Prince Harry was called” the hostage “behind the scenes – a swipe at Meghan’s dominant behavior.

Anger at the press

Another hot topic in the Sussex house is said to have been the press. Although Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan told Oprah Winfrey, 67, in March 2021 that they were ignoring coverage of themselves, the opposite is actually true. “They are both very thin-skinned,” a former employee told The Telegraph.

That’s what Duchess Meghan says about the allegations

First, the newspaper “The Times” reported in early March 2021 on allegations of bullying against Duchess Meghan. The 39-year-old’s lawyers describe the allegations made in the article as “a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation.” An investigation announced by Buckingham Palace is supposed to clarify what really happened in Kensington Palace.
