Meghan Markle's Former Aide Speaks Out Against Her
Reports of Meghan Markle being a bully came out just before she and Prince Harry did their infamous interview with Oprah, during which they trampled all over the good name of the royal family–perhaps she was trying to distract from the allegations being thrown her way?
Royal expert and author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, Tom Bower, believes more that these allegations are about to be supported by even more facts, now that Meghan's own former aide, Samantha Cohen, has spoken out. Cohen confirmed that she was one of the 10 royal staff members that was interviewed about the "bullying" allegations against Meghan during her time as a royal.
Harry and Meghan wed in 2018, but Cohen was assigned to get Meghan Markle ready to become a member of the royal family. On the topic, Bower recently wrote, "Certainly, I believe that Ms. Cohen was soon exasperated, within six months or so, and that Meghan either disagreed with, or failed to understand, the non-negotiable elements of royalty. I also believe that members of Samantha Cohen’s team viewed this as an irresponsible self-indulgence. Both sides would blame a clash of cultures."
Samantha herself said that the staff felt they were "treated harshly," and even compared her formal job to "working with teenagers." One staffer that resigned, a personal assistant, cited Meghan having "unattainably precise demands," while another told Bower that Meghan made her "feel sick" and that they "can't stop shaking."
Royal Fans Slam Meghan After Bullying Claims Resurface
These recent comments have turned the royal conversation back to Meghan's bullying accusations, and are sharing their thoughts on the matter on social media. "I can only imagine how difficult those jobs were with her imperious antics," one person said. "If not for those NDAs, there would have been many more former employees that spoke out against her."
"I can only imagine the fury of the bullied female staffers as Meghan Markle styled herself as a great advocate for women in her speeches and public statements," wrote another.
"Love it when the truth comes out," said one person. "Hoping these brave souls will speak out, their stories will help other people who are bullied in the workplace.
"So glad we're talking about this again," added a fourth person.
"I said it once and I'll say it again, she wanted all of the perks of being a royal without doing any of the work," a final user commented.
