Meghan, Duchess of Sussex saw red over blanket colour, claim palace aides
Victoria Ward 16 hrs ago

The Duchess of Sussex “went mental” at her personal assistant for ordering blankets that were the wrong shade of red,
it has been claimed.

of Sussex - PA© PA The Duchess of Sussex - PA
Meghan, 39, is said to have had “unattainably high demands” causing untold
tensions with her Kensington Palace staff.

When she hosted a shooting party at Sandringham for Prince Harry’s friends,
shortly after their engagement, she allegedly told her PA, Melissa Touabti, to

order red, personally embroidered blankets for each of the guests.

A source told the Sunday Times: “When they arrived, they weren’t the right
shade of red for Meghan and she went mental at Melissa.”

Ms Toubati is said to have left “traumatised” by the Duchess’s alleged
behaviour and left the Royal Household six months after the Sussexes’
wedding, amid claims she had been reduced to tears.

the Victim

The Duke’s first PA, who was working for him when Meghan arrived, is also
said to have left within months.

“Half of the staff threatened to quit,” one former aide told the newspaper,
while another claimed: “The entire household was on the verge of quitting...it
was drama, drama, drama with those two.”

Even the Sussexes’ engagement interview was said to have failed to meet
Meghan’s standards.

“She complained it hadn’t gone well, that Mishal [Husain] wasn’t empathetic
enough, wasn’t warm enough,” a source is reported to have said. The
Duchess declined to comment on the claims.

Funny that people jumped down Pritis neck when similar claims were made - yet when it’s Meghan it’s all lies :laugh:

[AnnieK]

In fairness we don't know if this was just the last of a string of errors she has made or Meghan was being too critical. Its just more "he said, yeah but she said" rubbish.

It sounds like Meghan is fairly demanding but who knows whether it's anything worse than that.

That's the narrative we're meant to follow ,how she's a "demanding bully" despite non of us actually knowing her or seeing any of this.

The media are so pathetic that even her hair in a bun was an issue ,and got called "messy bun" , she got criticised for closing the car door , and even critiscied for wearing black nail varnish.

Kate asks for expensive candles for her wedding and it's ok,but when Meghan asks for air fresheners it's suddenly "out of order" :bored: .

It hurts people that Meghan & Harry didn't follow royal protocol, they wanted them both to be another Stretford couple like William & Kate .

While I think celeb demands are quite ridiculous at times (worst I read, cant remember who but they would as for M&Ms in their room, but only the blue and green ones or something, so someone had to sit sorting them before they arrived!), this is hardly anything new. I have no issue believing she may be this pampered spoilt princess that the press make her out to be. Its the sheer timing of this avalanche in resurfacing now thats quite suspect. And I simply do not believe anyone who thinks the timings of these coming back up is just a coincidence.

Examples of such acts include providing a meal to a woman in need, calling a friend to check in, and helping a parent or neighbour to register for and get their Covid-19 vaccine.

As I have said before...if these reports are true, it must be very difficult for these people to sit back and watch what they are doing...how Harry and particularly Meghan are playing the Victim card. Perhaps if Harry and Meghan had just kept quiet and got on with their lives...none of this would have re-surfaced. To do it now rather than after the interview was better timing.
Its been said that this complaint of Bullying was swept under the carpet at the time in order to protect Meghan....so all these claims she is making about not being protected and being silenced...it has no doubt prompted people to fight back.
There are always two sides to every story.

I agree....the sad thing is though if these allegations are correct, it should not have taken an Oprah interview and worries of bad press for the Royals for them to be properly investigated. No one should be deemed needing protection when other people's well being is at stake. These women are not the one's fighting back, its the Palace that have approached them NOW to pursue them when they disregarded the concerns at the time.

Can see this happening. However, if this IS what happened, the palace comes out of this looking horrendous, yet again. Meghan may be a diva (or may not be) but the ones who should have taken such complaints seriously and investigated at the time, instead ignored it all, only to use it as a trump card later on in life. Looks horrendous for 'the royals' really. And these leaks and such, I suspect make the royals look MUCH worse than anything that may possibly be said in the interview tbh.

Well Cherie...she is a very compassionate person. Shes so compassionate she is going to tell the world how wonderful her husbands family are...in fact she might even mention a couple of women in particular ahead of International Womens Day.
Shes so compassionate that she feels it will lift Phillips spirits as the 99 year old spends his third week in hospital with heart issues.
Shes so compassionate that in doing this interview people will realise the loss of life, livelihoods and love ones in a Pandemic just doesnt compare.
After all...she didnt have to do this. So compassionate...

Yes..it should have been dealt with at the time. However if it was 'swept under the carpet' to protect Meghan then it kind of goes against her accusations of not being protected. Sometimes when you try and help...it backfires.

Pretty much, and the public are just as much to blame, since the media wouldn't focus on things that don't get clicks.

We are a nation of weak willed bootlickers, all too happy to lap up the **** that gets given to us with nary a complaint while we're told to hate a woman for existing and to ignore the predator in our midst.

Yup they ignored it and brushed it under the carpet while Harry and Meghan were Royals, and are wheeling it out now that they're "out" and in the bad books.

Says it all really. They protect their own no matter what, but get on their bad side and the gloves come off. Pathetic, really.

If Harry and Meghan mistreated their staff it should have been investigated and addressed at the time. If those staff members didn't feel like they could complain about a family member and have it taken seriously (or perhaps even feared repercussions if they complained) - that says a lot about the general culture of working for the Royals doesn't it.

People shouldn't wait for the news stories to tell them what to think, people should be outraged at what we know about Andrew, we should be demanding a full independent investigation, we should be demanding action for the Royal family protecting a peadophile, but no, there's some idle gossip about Meghan to be angry about and that's so much worse....

I know what you are saying. Can you imagine though, if all this had surfaced prior to the Wedding, just imagine the Racial accusations that would have been made. I believe it IF it did happen it was hush hushed to protect her....and since the Royals are now being accused (it looks like) of not protecting her and silencing her...its a bit of a kick in the teeth for the others involved at the time.

Much as I'm skeptical of the GBP on a wide range of topics, and I don't think this is entirely wrong, I would say in this case it's one playing into the other - the public aren't disinterested in stories about Andrew, they would lap up those front pages, but the media NOTICEABLE shy away from it. It's "there" because they couldn't get away with not reporting on it at all, but there is a clear effort on their part to keep the reporting on him to a minimum. Someone has their grubby fingers all over it (and not just Andrew). Whereas Meghan is clearly considered "press fair game". Partly because she's female, I'm sure, but in this case I think the clear major difference is that she's "not actually Royal Blood". Same two reasons she has to soak up most criticism of Harry, as well as her own.

But it's the public's fault for not demanding more, we should be outraged but we aren't, because Rupert Murdoch's telling us to hate Meghan more and the people are complying because they love being told what to think.

If the public demanded it, the media would listen, but the public would rather hate a black princess than be mad about a peadophile in plain view.

See this is what I mean, it feels like plausible deniability. They'll drip out a story about Andrew occasionally for the public to devour, because if they stayed COMPLETELY silent people would point out that it's obviously being covered up deliberately... they give out just enough so they can say "See? We DO report on Andrew as well it is all totally fair and equal!" when actually it's a bit of story every few months and then blatant radio silence/more "Meghan was a bit mean to staff" stories. When another Royal family member has been rubbing shoulders with literal child sex traffickers. And we're supposed to consider Harry and Meghan the villains for having bad things to say about the "poor old Royal Family"? It's a joke.

I honestly don't know. The mainstream papers and television channels are largely controlled by an alarmingly tiny group of people, and I would imagine that the people at the top of Royal PR have their direct phone numbers. The press knows that an extensive piece slamming Andrew would be an absolute gold mine... IMO there simply must be other reasons that they keep coverage to a minimum.

Either way the palace has shown themselves up in all this, and they look very undignified and it's frankly embarrassing.

But if the anger was truly there from the public, they couldn't ignore it for long, and would have to cater for it. People simply respond to hating Meghan more than Andrew.

Listen...Meghan is constantly bleating on about how badly she was treated by the Palace. She has no reason and nothing to gain from saying the things she is saying about Harrys family...she is throwing them under the bus...funny how you fail to see that.
Why doesnt she just talk about her and Harry and the future....but both her and Oprah know that wont draw in the viewers. She wants to throw some dirt....expect to get it thrown back.

They are not defending Paedophilia.... What are they supposed to do? Force him on a plane to the US? Its up to the US to get him extradited and hopefully they will. However...if he was your son or brother wouldnt you want to protect them however disappointed and ashamed you feel....

shade of red for Meghan and she went mental at Melissa.”]




No Glenn
this is the Sunday Times.

Sure

[thesheriff443]

This interview is premeditated and all the disrespect shown towards the royal family in the build up to this interview has been said to pave the way for this interview.

The press have given Meghan a hard time for basically sticking two fingers up and creating a stop picking on us story line.

The queen has been more than fair giving them a chance to come back with no hard feelings option and has publicly supported Harry and Meghan in their choices and yet despite all that these to hate filled people want to attack the very person and family that gave them what they wanted

Arrived home from a lovely day hiking on the Mountains of Mourne.
Interesting reading all the deflections.

The Palace covered up the alleged bullying to protect Meghan! :devil:
They haven't thrown Andrew out of the Palace into the gutter yet! :devil:

Meghan, no way is she a bully, everybody is out to get her, lies , lies, lies! :love::angel::worship::flutter:

:laugh:

Great posts here Rusti and the others who actually have qualities called perspective and common sense....

[Beso]

I hope the blood of the dead animals they shot was the right colour of red for her.

I agree....the sad thing is though if these allegations are correct, it should not have taken an Oprah interview and worries of bad press for the Royals for them to be properly investigated. No one should be deemed needing protection when other people's well being is at stake. These women are not the one's fighting back, its the Palace that have approached them NOW to pursue them when they disregarded the concerns at the time.

That's not true though, from the reports in the Times. Kauuf took the story to the Times after being contacted by the women who then spoke to them at length to satisfy themselves of the veracity of the claims.
When the senior royals heard of this, they quite rightly launched an investigation, and more people have come forward to tell their story of bullying by Meghan.

Fair enough, I haven't read that far into it but it doesn't change the fact it should have been dealt with at the time. Bullying in the workplace should never be tolerated or ignored. If Meghan has done what is alleged, its inexcusable and she should have been dealt with at the time. That is just common sense and the way a responsible employer should work.

I don't think anyone has disagreed with that?

And the timing of all this isn't suspicious atall is it :hee:

its been said time and again. the people inviolved have chosen to come forward because they do not want to see a bully abuser sit with her pal and lie and gush about how they are victims to millions on tv

surely as a fellow compassionate human, you can understand this??

the palace has nowt to do with it - its the Victims who want their TRUTH to be told first


its sickening that its come to this for them tbh

I'm confused by this bit.....are you saying they weren't protecting Meghan and just disregarded the allegations at the time, or they were protecting Meghan?

They would have been protecting the palace.

At the time she was part of that so fitted under the umbrella.

That's terrible then. They failed in their duty to protect their employees. Whoever disregarded the allegations should face gross misconduct.

It was probably meghan who had the last word on the accusations...so yes..

I 100 percent agree with you

Well we don't know that as yet, hopefully a thorough investigation will get to the bottom of it so these women get some vindication and closure however that will come, although now that Meghan has left the firm, I assume the only recourse will be some form of compensation and not an apology and admittance of it, if the allegations are proven.

It is said they were trying to protect Meghan's reputation and Harry was in a worryingly precarious mental state and pleading with them not to take it further.

Her dress she wears looks like a birds shat down the shoulder of it, tonight

Thank you for clarifying.

A difficult situation handled wrongly. Hopefully the investigation will bring the truth to light.

Well ahe cant get sacked from her role now shes ****ed off can she..

Clever move, I think shes underestimated.:joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i mean people are like

ooh why has this come out now??

its because Harry wanted it hushed up

:facepalm:

[jet]

I honestly think everyone was so worried about Harry, who was very very fragile at the time, that his welfare was the priority.

[AnnieK]

:facepalm:

That doesn't negate the fact that whether Harry wanted it hushed up or not, it shouldn't have been. They have become complicit in any bullying that happened and therefore will not be covered in glory for now deciding to investigate. Its all such a mess and the women have been failed if the allegations are true :sad:

[bots]

for all we know, it was these bullying allegations that preempted meghan and harry's departure. That wouldn't surprise me at all

i agree Annie

its not good from any angle

[AnnieK]

I can see that, its a shame though that it was at the cost of the complainants welfare. All just a mess isn't it?

It must have been an awful time all round....and the repercussions are only being felt and brought to light now.
I really think Meghan and Harry should have put the past behind them and enjoyed their new life in a somewhat less public capacity - but it seems they can't settle enough to do that and perhaps aren't as content as they could be.

[Beso]

Sounds like they knew all this would come out and decided to try and soften the blow to me.

[Cherie]

I wonder what headlines we will wake up to :joker:

Meghan and Harry should quit whining instead of complaining to Oprah
By Jane Ridley

Settling down in front of the TV Sunday night, I’ll be playing a drinking game with virtual pals during the much-hyped Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Tabloids.” Shot! “Nightmare.” Shot! “Queen” and “abuse.” Shot and shot!
Trouble is, as the former royals bemoan their lot, it’ll take less than 10 minutes to slide off the sofa drunk.

Judging from the trailers CBS has released of the two-hour special — set to a movie-like soundtrack of soaring violins — the claptrap uttered by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is just another ridiculous pity party.
Pass the sick bucket. Meghan’s complaints about Buckingham Palace expecting them to stay “silent,” that the Windsors “perpetuated falsehoods about her and Harry” and other assorted bleatings make me queasy already.

What did Meghan Markle expect by marrying into the British royal family, the ultimate gilded cage? Her main complaint seems to be that she couldn’t get everything that was offered — the money, the houses, the title — and continue to do whatever she wanted, with no responsibilities.
It’s a bit rich in these terrible times — when people are dying of COVID-19 and others face financial ruin — that these pampered narcissists think it is okay to gripe over perceived slights from the comfort of their $14.65 million mansion in California.

If you’ve lost a loved one to the virus, your job is in jeopardy or your kids are being denied an education, you’re going to feel a whole lot better listening to the plight of a perfectly coiffed actress in a $4,700 dress and a sulky-looking blueblood with a wild-child past.

[Ammi]

...were they not red blankets for guests, btw...not towels..?...anyways, apparently from some articles...the feeling is that, this has come from senior royals, to release this now because of the detail being given...so, it’s looking really damaging for all concerned if they have been aware of any inappropriate behaviour and have failed to protect both the staff and Meghan ...it’s very ‘convenient’ timing as well, obviously ...I don’t know how it works with ex Royal staff, these staff members aren’t still employed by the royal household anymore....?....but would they not have a non disclosure agreement so they wouldn’t be able to say anything...(...basically gagged...)...unless they were given permission to, so that would definitely be a senior royal, I would say...I don’t know, though, if they would have had one...

Yes they were under NDA's apparently.

omg STOP WHINING or I'm gonna have no choice but to tune in and enable said whining :(

[Ammi]

Yes they were under NDA's apparently.

...so that would seem more to me that it was known and then ‘released’ at a ‘convenient time’ , Jax...which is pretty horrific if senior royals have known...

[Ammi]

...It does seem a bit odd that she be accused of being demanding and bullying, when it was reported one time that she closed her own car door../...not expecting anyone else to do it for her, type thing...and she was informed no, that’s not for you to do...

[Alf]

When is this Oprah thing on? I thought it was supposed to be tonight?

Tbh is it any wonder Meghan is doing this interview after everything she's been through , criticised over silly things like holding her stomach and having the same flowers as Kate just to name a few.

And now finding out that she was asked "how dark will Archie be" :shocked: , utterly disgusting thing to say.
