On 2 March, an email sent by one of Harry and Meghan’s aides in October 2018 was leaked to The Times newspaper, suggesting Meghan had behaved unacceptably towards Kensington Palace staff.

The couple had married in the May of that year and had been living with Prince William and Kate Middleton at the time.

The leaked email alleges that Markle mistreated two assistants, which left them feeling forced to leave their jobs - the report added that others felt “humiliated” by the Duchess.


...the email informing the palace of worrying behaviour to some Royal staff was sent by an Aide 3yrs ago but only ‘leaked’ just before the Oprah interview...the ‘timing of the leak’ was part of the story’s context as well as discussed widely by all media...not just the email content, itself...but the whole thing of timing....was that reflected in discussions here, most definitely, of course it was...entire context of stories generally are or try to be...but it didn’t become the focus, as suggested and other aspects dismissed ...there was wide ranging concern expressed that there had been a negligence of care to those staff, from what the story was giving us...it’s a manipulation of fact to say that the concern was of the timing was the main focus, which it very much wasn’t....

Okay thanks that is clearer. Firstly, the women could have insisted their voices were heard ahead of the interview, because they wouldn't know if she was going to mention them in a derogatory way, so the email was then leaked. Not saying that is what happened, but its possible. We just don't know.

Secondly, I didn't say the timing was the main focus for everyone, because that is untrue, but it certainly was for SOME. In fact, to SOME it was outrage at the timing as their first reaction, and no outrage at the thought that these women may have been bullied by Meghan. Go back and look at the thread...
The narrative wasn't - 'if these women say they were bullied then they felt bullied and we should believe them'!! for some - whereas when Meghan says she was neglected by the Palace it was "if she felt she was, then she was", if she said she had suicidal thoughts, then she did"!!
That is my point. The double standard.
