Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced ongoing challenges since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020. Now, a shocking new report suggests that Meghan’s staff fears her, allegedly calling her a ‘dictator in high heels.’ This revelation has put the Duchess back in the spotlight, just days after celebrating Prince Harry’s 40th birthday.
The former Suits actress, who married Prince Harry in 2018, has reportedly been labeled ‘Duchess Difficult’ by sources close to the royal circle. According to recent claims, the 43-year-old has a reputation for being harsh with her staff, with some even saying she can bring “grown men to tears.” Despite marking the Duke’s milestone birthday last week, tensions appear to be running high behind the scenes.
An insider close to the couple shared with The Hollywood Reporter that Meghan’s leadership style is causing concern among those working for her. “She’s like a dictator in high heels,” the source alleged, adding that both Meghan and Harry struggle with decision-making, frequently changing their minds. Another insider further claimed, “Harry is incredibly charming, very down-to-earth, but he enables her behavior. And Meghan? She’s just impossible.”
Reports indicate that high staff turnover has been a recurring issue for the couple. In 2021, Meghan’s senior advisor and private secretary stepped down, and just recently, their chief of staff resigned after only three months on the job. Back in 2018, soon after the royal wedding, Meghan was accused of mistreating two palace staff members, leading Buckingham Palace to investigate allegations of bullying.
Although the official inquiry did not result in public findings, a leaked email from the couple’s former communications secretary suggested that Meghan had a pattern of targeting employees. “The Duchess seems determined to always have someone in her sights,” the email reportedly stated. However, Meghan dismissed the accusations as a “calculated smear campaign” designed to damage her reputation.
So, is Meghan really living up to the ‘Duchess Difficult’ nickname, or is this just another royal controversy? Let us know your thoughts!
