A spokesman for the Sussexes has told The Times "they were the victims of a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation."

Royal aides reveal Meghan bullying claim before Oprah interview www.thetimes.co.uk/article/royal-aides-reveal-meghan-bullying-claim-before-oprah-interview-7sxfvd2c3Royal aides have hit back at the Duchess of Sussex before her television interview with Oprah Winfrey by revealing that she faced a bullying complaint made by one of her closest advisers during her time at Kensington Palace. The sources approached The Times because they felt that only a partial version had emerged of Meghan’s two years as a working member of the royal family and they wished to tell their side, concerned about how such matters are handled by the palace. The complaint claimed that she drove two personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member. The rest is behind a paywall. I need more information meaning specifically what she did.

I’m cruising Twitter for more snippets. This email was sent by Jason Knauf, the couple’s then communications secretary.

www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1404771/meghan-markle-bullying-royal-aides-palace-royal-family-latest/ampThe complaint claimed the Duchess of Sussex forced two personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member, according to The Times. It was made by Jason Knauf in October 2018, the couple's communications secretary at the time. The Times has reported that a source told the newspaper the complaint was seemingly made in an effort to protect staff who Mr Knauf claimed were coming under pressure from Meghan. The source added Prince Harry pleaded with Mr Knauf not to pursue the complaint. It has been reported Mr Knauf sent an email to Simon Case, who at the time was Prince William's private secretary and now the cabinet secretary, following conversations with head of HR Samantha Carruthers. Mr Case then forwarded the email to Ms Carruthers. In his email, Mr Knauf said she “agreed with me on all counts that the situation was very serious”. But he added: “I remain concerned that nothing will be done.” The Times has reported sourced have said they were worried nothing was was done at the time to investigate the claims, and also nothing done since to protect staff against the possibility of bullying by a member of the royal family. Aides reportedly insisted they did more to welcome the Duchess and assist her with finding a role than had been publicly acknowledged.

Ok... but what did she supposedly do? This has been a narrative since October 2018.

The Sussexes have obviously already sent a detailed legal letter to the times.

I have no idea why this is in here. Did he slip in a note of what was taking place/had taken place? How would she know?? Plus how many bazillion gifts did they probably get for their wedding? Unless somebody tagged everything after, how is she to remember who gave her what? We had 70 people at ours and I couldn't remember who gave what like a week after thank you cards went out.

I've been accused of being rude and disrespectful because I let my opinions show in a group where everyone just nods and smiles to one person's direction. I didn't know the culture of that group yet, so I said my say when opinions were asked for.
I can only imagine how an American woman with enthusiasm and ideas is perceived by the highest of the British Upper Crust. Perhaps her "bullying" was follow up e-mails and "I'm still talking" in meetings.

Maybe they should have just let the interview air before all this ridiculous preemptive shit-talking.

I think the fact they haven't released specifics of this "bullying" is very telling. If it were as concrete as they claim, they'd share it.

While MBS has been proven to be awful, I also don't know that there was more than speculation about his involvement at that point. He was for a long-time viewed as a progressive reformer in SA by many, many people.

Have you heard of the Deep Nostalgia tool? Someone ran Henry VIII and his wives through it. Someone used it on that botched statue of Christiano Ronaldo. I giggled. It will give you nightmares.

I've been an American in London where I've been told 'you're so american', by my midwives, by my professors, by my husbands friends. It was never meant in a positive way. Ever. I can't imagine how being in the royal family ups that.

They had to know the timing of this would be suspicious. Honestly, how could they not? I get that royalty could possibly be so out of touch and so self involved that they wouldn’t have thought beyond being angry but wouldn’t someone along the way point out “hey releasing this supposed info right now looks sketch guys”.

Victoria's kids are absolutely adorable and I want to know more about her puppy! Chocolate poodle maybe? I think it is an apricot. Coloring can vary a little in other countries since they can have different standards and bloodlines. Plus, lighting seems to effect how dark the color is.
