Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Former Staffers Slam the Couple In 3 Harsh Words: ‘Everyone’s Terrified’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reputations have taken a hit since the two stepped down from their roles as working royals back in 2020. The couple’s staff members, including ones that worked for them while they were working royals and ones that worked for them after, have sometimes come out of the woodwork to say unhelpful things about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Now, some of the couple’s former staffers are slamming the prince and duchess using just three harsh words.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s staffers aren’t helping their reputation
During Harry and Meghan’s time as working royals, there were rumors that Meghan was a bit harsh to her staff. At one point, the duchess was accused of bullying, with former employees saying she would send emails as early as 5 a.m. prior to the work day starting. In Meghan’s defense, some people suggested there was a big difference between UK and US work ethics and that Meghan was just wired to constantly work (which, if you live in the US, you know makes some sense).
Still, it wasn’t enough to clear Meghan of the accusations, and the Sussexes’ rotation of staff members through the years has only caused more of them to speak out. One former employee referred to the couple using three harsh words: “Poor decision makers.”
According to Express, some former staffers call themselves the “Sussex Survivors Club” and said that Harry and Meghan don’t make the best decisions. Express also reports that one source said “everyone’s terrified of Meghan” and that she “belittles people.” However, Showbiz Cheat Sheet wants to add that these words are coming from unnamed sources and could not be verified.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had several staff members leave in recent years
Since relocating to California and starting new lives, Harry and Meghan have seen some high-profile staff members depart from various areas of the couple’s lives. Archewell Foundation’s COO Manada Dayani left the team, as did their marketing chief Fara Taylor. Earlier this year, Harry’s longtime CEO of his Invictus Games Foundation, Dominic Reid, stepped down, and his replacement only lasted three months before leaving as well.
Of course, in any business, there is staff turnover. Nobody can expect a 100% retention rate in perpetuity. So, it’s possible that this turnover is normal as far as averages go, but because these positions are so high up in the company, the exits can’t help but draw attention.
