Since stepping away from royal duties in 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced constant public scrutiny. Their move was framed as a bid for independence, yet controversy has followed them ever since.
A recent report has reignited claims about Meghan’s behavior behind the scenes. According to sources, some former staff have referred to her as “Duchess Difficult,” a nickname that has circulated for years.
Insiders quoted in the report allege that her management style was intense and emotionally draining. Some claim experienced professionals were left in tears, with one source describing her as a “dictator in high heels.”
The investigation, published by The Hollywood Reporter, paints a picture of a high pressure work environment. Staff reportedly dealt with constant changes, demanding expectations, and fear of criticism.
Prince Harry is also mentioned. While described as personable, sources suggest he failed to step in when tensions rose, allowing problems to continue unchecked.
Staff turnover has been unusually high since the couple left the royal family. Several advisers and senior staff members have resigned after short periods, adding to concerns about workplace stability.
Similar allegations date back to Meghan’s early royal days. In 2018, complaints from palace staff led to an internal investigation by Buckingham Palace, though its findings were never released.
Meghan has denied all accusations, calling them a coordinated smear campaign. Supporters argue she is unfairly targeted for being assertive, while critics say the volume and consistency of complaints cannot be ignored.
Whether justified or not, the allegations have followed Meghan across multiple roles and countries. As long as former staff continue to speak out, the controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan is unlikely to fade.
