A recent investigation into allegations of bullying against Meghan Markle at the royal palace has led to the implementation of new HR policies, as confirmed by a senior palace advisor.
The report’s findings will not be disclosed publicly, but it has resulted in enhancements to the existing staff regulations and processes.
The inquiry, prompted by claims of bullying made against Meghan Markle which she vehemently denies, has brought about changes aimed at improving the workplace environment within the royal household.
While the specific details of the report remain confidential, palace officials have assured that the recommendations have been integrated into the existing framework.
According to insider sources, all employees and members of the royal family are expected to adhere to the updated policies and procedures.
The revised HR guidelines now include provisions for reporting concerns or blowing the whistle on any inappropriate behavior within the royal household.
Staff are encouraged to come forward with complaints through designated channels, including independent counselors if necessary.
In response to allegations published in The Times regarding a bullying complaint filed by a former aide, Meghan Markle’s spokesperson issued a statement expressing her disappointment at the attack on her character.
The Duchess reiterated her commitment to promoting compassion and supporting those who have experienced adversity, pledging to continue her efforts to set a positive example through her work.
Following the publication of the article, Buckingham Palace initiated an investigation into the claims raised by former staff members of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The Palace acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations and committed to examining the circumstances to identify any areas for improvement or lessons to be learned.
Sir Michael Stevens, the Queen’s Accountant and a senior advisor at the Palace, revealed that a private assessment had been conducted to review the handling of the complaints.
The evaluation, funded privately and not using taxpayer money, aimed to evaluate the HR procedures and suggest potential changes to enhance the royal household’s operations.
In a separate development, Prince William and Kate Middleton are preparing for a visit to the United States in an effort to regain the support of American royal enthusiasts.
Despite ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Wales courts, the royal couple seeks to strengthen their reputation through the upcoming trip.
While Prince Harry is scheduled to attend an event in New York focused on racial justice shortly after William and Kate’s visit, the Cambridges aim to reconnect with US fans and project a positive image during their stay.
Additionally, the impending release of a Netflix documentary involving Harry and Meghan is anticipated to generate significant interest, with reports suggesting a substantial advance payment to the couple for the project.
