Prince Harry described how “nerves were shattering, people were sniping” among palace staff during the tumultuous time before Meghan Markle was accused of being “difficult” to work for.
The Duke of Sussex addressed the bullying allegations against Meghan in his book Spare, released on Tuesday, and acknowledged: “More than once a staff member slumped across their desk and wept.”
Meghan was accused of bullying two PAs out of the royal household in an internal email sent by Jason Knauf, then Kensington Palace communications secretary.
The email, originally sent in October 2018, was leaked in the U.K. press days before the Oprah Winfrey interview, in March 2021, in a move the couple’s spokesperson described at the time as a “smear.”
