Meghan Markle Branded a ‘Demon’ by Former Staffers Amid New Allegations of Difficult Behavior
Meghan Markle is once again at the center of controversy, as former staffers double down on claims about her alleged difficult behavior during her time as a working royal. According to a report by The Daily Beast, some former employees have gone so far as to describe Markle in harsh terms, with one even referring to her as a “demon.”
An unnamed source told the outlet, “I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like s***.” Another former employee shared a similar sentiment, stating, “She is lovely when it is all going her way, but a demon when the worm turns.”
This new wave of criticism comes on the heels of a report from The Hollywood Reporter, which described Markle as a “dictator in high heels” who allegedly reduced “grown men to tears” during her time as a senior royal. The report has sparked heated debate, with former staffers divided over her behavior.
While some former employees have been critical, others have come to Markle’s defense. One former employee recalled a more positive experience, noting that working with Meghan felt like “seeds being watered” due to her thoughtful gestures, such as gifting freshly cut flowers and eggs. These small acts of kindness stood out to some who worked closely with her.
In response to the controversy, Us Weekly published a rebuttal, quoting a former executive from Archewell, the charitable foundation started by Markle and her husband, Prince Harry. The story appeared to be a deliberate response to the growing narrative of Meghan’s difficult behavior. According to an insider close to The Sun, “The Sussexes were left reeling by The Hollywood Reporter’s story.” The source further suggested that the Us Weekly article was likely sanctioned by the couple, as Archewell’s current global head of communications, Ashley Hansen, was quoted by name.
The conflicting accounts from Markle’s former staffers highlight the ongoing debate about her time as a royal and the differing perspectives on her leadership style. While some describe a demanding and challenging work environment, others emphasize her acts of generosity and care.
As Meghan and Prince Harry continue to navigate life outside of the royal family, their public image remains a point of contention. With some staffers painting a picture of a difficult boss and others defending her behavior, it’s clear that opinions about the Duchess of Sussex remain deeply divided.
For now, Meghan Markle continues to face public scrutiny, but it seems the couple is prepared to push back against negative narratives, as evidenced by the swift response through Us Weekly. The debate over her leadership style and character is far from over, and the public will likely continue to hear both praise and criticism from those who worked closely with her.
