In a shocking revelation, a former aide to the British royal family has come forward with a scathing critique of Meghan Markle’s conduct during her time as a royal.
The anonymous source has labeled Meghan a “complete narcissist” and “sociopath,” suggesting that her behavior was not just erratic but also troublingly abusive towards palace staff.
These explosive allegations were first hinted at in Robert Lacey’s 2020 book, “Battle of the Brothers,” which explored the growing rift between Prince Harry and Prince William.
Lacey’s book quotes an unnamed courtier who asserts that Meghan presented herself as the victim while actually embodying the role of a bully.
This courtier claimed that staff members felt “run over” by her actions, describing her demeanor as essentially unhinged.
This harsh judgment emerged just days before Meghan and Harry’s highly publicized 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they made several serious accusations against the royal family.
The timing of these revelations has led many to speculate whether this was part of a calculated smear campaign aimed at tarnishing the Duchess of Sussex’s reputation.
Reports indicate that the alleged mistreatment of staff was so severe it prompted the formation of an informal group dubbed the “Sussex Survivors Club,” comprising those who had worked closely with Meghan and Harry.
Jason Knauf, who previously served as the communications secretary for both the Cambridges and Sussexes, reportedly expressed his concerns about Meghan’s behavior in an email to Simon Case, Prince William’s private secretary.
In this correspondence, Knauf described Meghan’s treatment of staff as “totally unacceptable,” noting that she appeared to be perpetually on the lookout for someone to undermine.
Witnesses had allegedly submitted numerous reports detailing Meghan’s unacceptable conduct, raising eyebrows given her public persona as a staunch advocate for women’s rights and mental health awareness.
While Meghan has openly discussed her struggles within the royal family, including her experiences with suicidal thoughts, the former aide’s comments paint a starkly different picture—one that suggests a manipulative individual more focused on her own image than the welfare of those around her.
In response to these serious allegations, the Sussexes have firmly denied any claims of bullying.
A spokesperson for the couple characterized the accusations as a “calculated smear campaign,” rooted in misleading information designed to discredit Meghan ahead of her and Harry’s candid interview with Oprah.
Despite the couple’s denials, the shadow of these allegations continues to loom large over Meghan, with various royal commentators weighing in on the controversy.
Some argue that the claims of narcissistic behavior align with Meghan’s public persona, while others defend her, insisting she is merely a victim of a systematic effort to undermine her credibility.
The complexities of these allegations raise significant questions about the culture and power dynamics within the royal family.
As the inner workings of the monarchy remain largely cloaked in secrecy, the truth may never fully emerge.
However, the impact of these claims on Meghan’s reputation is undeniable.
