A PR expert has warned the staffing row will eclipse “almost anything” the Sussex couple do.

Meghan Markle has been embroiled in the latest staffing row
Meghan Markle is faced with a “real threat” following the latest string of allegations against her if any of them escalate, a PR expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex caused a media storm this month after one of America’s most prestigious entertainment news sources, The Hollywood Reporter, published a report which a current senior staffer alleged that she acts like a “dictator in high heels” and colleagues are allegedly “terrified” of her and her “belittling” behaviour towards them.

The report was followed by Us Weekly’s cover story which in turn cited various named and anonymous current and former employees of the Sussex couple who rushed to Meghan’s defence and praised her for her “kindness”.

“Our reporter talked to a very high-up source who works for the couple and said: ‘Everyone is terrified of Meghan.'”

Some of Meghan Markle’s defenders included the Sussexes’s press secretary, Ashley Hansen, and former Archewell president Mandana Dayani.

Ms Hansen told Us Weekly: “When I told them, I was met with the kind of concern and care a parent would express if it were their own child. I was asked what I needed, how and if they could help, and told to take as much time as I needed.”

Ms Dayani also said: “Part of the profound injustice of having to speak publicly on this in light of these endless and damaging narratives is that so much of the kindness, mentorship, and support that Prince Harry and Meghan share with others happens quietly behind closed doors.

“Throughout every global crisis, their first question was always: ‘How can we help?’ Whether they were veterans, women, refugees, animals in harm, they both showed up. Never asking for anything in return. […] Just last week, as Meghan and I were planning our next lunch, I told her how excited I was to pick her brain on my latest ventures. These are kind, decent, caring people who I am very proud to call my friends.”

The Duchess of Sussex has declined to comment on the latest claims.

It follows previous bullying allegations which were made against the Duchess back in 2018, which she has long and vehemently denied.
