Royal aides have hit back at the Duchess of Sussex before her television
interview with Oprah Winfrey by revealing that she faced a bullying complaint
made by one of her closest advisers during her time at Kensington Palace.

The sources approached The Times because they felt that only a partial
version had emerged of Meghan’s two years as a working member of the
royal family and they wished to tell their side, concerned about how such
matters are handled by the palace. The complaint claimed that she drove two
personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the
confidence of a third staff member.

It was made in October 2018 by Jason Knauf, the couple’s communications
secretary at the time.

Meghan made unreasonable demands that led to the departure of two
personal assistants and the undermining of a third during her two-year
period as a working member of the royal family.

Meghan and Harry, 36, have frequently complained that she has been a
victim of bullying, particularly at the hands of the British tabloid media.

If she was being interviewed by an actual interviewer like say Piers this would be brought up on Monday sadly it wont
For the Times to run with it it must be pretty cast iron i would have thought?

Yes showing how nasty she gets.

The timing is too suspicious. This supposedly happened in 2018, but it's only coming to light now that the media have suffered a defeat at her hands? How very curious....

As I said in the other thread though:
I think sources are breaking their silence now because they aren't going to let H&M get away with just a completely one - sided account.
The monarchy can't answer back to every allegation made in the usual way, so....

I remember reading about it. Its irrelevant when it happened...
Quite frankly the public are getting sick and tired of them playing the victims. Maybe Meghan is a bully ....its often the trait of a bully to act the victim.

[LeatherTrumpet]

With precious little new tv in the last year and constant bad news about the pandemic, id imagine this will boost tv viewership

plus everyone loves a total trainwreck like the Andrew one so plenty will tune in for the lolz

I cant imagine many will take it seriously however...

Brushed under the carpet. Victims made to sign non - disclosure agreements.

PIERS MORGAN: After these shocking Palace bullying allegations, please spare
me anymore of halo-cracked hypocrites Meghan and Harry's women-
empowering victimhood garbage

On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced a 20-point guide to how to empower women.
Timed to coincide with next week's International Women's Day, it dripped with all the usual insufferably patronising self-
righteousness that's become the hallmark of the couple's endless hectoring homilies to the world.
'Let's unleash a groundswell of real acts of compassion for the women in your life!' they beseeched on their foundation website.
The 20 points, which included such blatantly sexist guff as telling us all to 'order from a woman-led restaurant' – can you
imagine the outrage if I suggested ordering from a man-led restaurant? - also contained this directive: 'Support safe spaces for
women.'
Fine words from a couple who never stop telling us how caring and compassionate they are, and how much they want to
'empower' women.
Doubtless, we'll hear a lot more of this narrative during their two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Just as we'll hear more on how they were driven out of Britain and the Royal Family by a bunch of nasty bullies in the Press and
Palace.
Oh, and how poor Meghan was silenced by restrictive royal protocol - and had her vitally important voice taken away from her.
The Oprah whine-athon will be brimming with anguished woe-is-me tears, indignant rage, wallowing self-pity and lots of claims
about how kind, caring Meghan and Harry just want to save the world.
But then we woke up to a rather different narrative this morning.



The allegations were in an email written by the couple's then communications secretary Jason Knauf (pictured). The Times
reports that Prince Harry pleaded with him not to continue with his complaint, something Harry has denied. Knauf was right to
be concerned about the claims being brushed under the royal carpet because indeed, nothing was done - and a month later
Knauf quit his job and went to work for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as one of their top aides

In it, he said: 'I am very concerned that the Duchess was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year. The
treatment of X* was totally unacceptable. The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights. She is bullying Y
and seeking to undermine her confidence. We have had report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable
behaviour towards Y.'

The details of the Times story are jaw-dropping, outlining a litany of alleged
bullying by Meghan towards her young female staff that reduced some to
tears.

Aides spoke of being humiliated and feeling 'sick' and 'terrified' by the
dreadful treatment they received.

After one row over an event, one reportedly told another: 'I feel terrified. I
can't stop shaking.'

And it wasn't just Meghan.

Harry stands accused of bullying behavior, too.

The Times reports that even before the wedding, one aide told a colleague
the couple were both 'outrageous bullies' and said they were considering
resigning.

Well that's the point isn't it? We don't know but people will believe whichever headline fits their view of her.

At this point, I don't think many will ever change their opinions of her. It's evident in the threads that those who like her, always will and those that don't, won't. Them announcing the latest pregnancy was proof itself. Those who like her were happy and congratulatory, those who didn't mocked the way it was announced.

The media circus, and threads on here, will continue I guess until either they do go and live in a hut somewhere or something terrible happens as a consequence.
