Meghan Markle Bullied Royal Aides, Complaint Was Filed, Report Says

British royal aides have revealed to The Times that a bullying complaint against Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, from one of her closest advisors was made while she was at Kensington Palace — and the complaint was not pursued. The report was published ahead of a much-talked about Oprah Winfrey interview with Markle and her husband Prince Harry in which Markle reportedly described her time as a royal as “unsurvivable.”

“The complaint claimed that she drove two personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member,” The Times reported. “It was made in October 2018 by Jason Knauf, the couple’s communications secretary at the time, seemingly in an effort to get Buckingham Palace to protect staff who he claimed were coming under pressure from the duchess. Prince Harry pleaded with Knauf not to pursue it, according to a source.”
