PRINCE Harry was “just as dismissive” to Palace staff as Meghan Markle, insiders have claimed.
Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown, alleges the Duke of Sussex sent rude emails to senior aides before he and the duchess quit royal life.
An insider has claimed Prince Harry was just as dismissive to staff as Meghan Markle
The bombshell claims make up a catalogue of jaw-dropping allegations levelled at Meghan and Harry during their time as working Royals.
And according to Times reporter Valentine Low, the Queen and Charles’ private secretaries – Edward Young and Clive Alderton – were among staffers at the receiving end.
It comes as…
- Meghan Markle’s staff branded her ‘a narcissistic sociopath’ and called themselves ‘Sussex Survivors Club’, book claims
- Bombshell claims Harry found out Queen died on news when making his £30k jet dash
- Prince Harry feared he would become irrelevant when nephew George turned 18
- Meghan moaned that she should get paid for carrying out royal engagements with Harry according to bombshell book
- Reports that Meghan told Harry she would break up with him if they didn’t go public
- The seven bombshell claims revealing how Harry and Meghan’s Royal life unravelled
- Meghan allegedly made aide burst into tears when William went to comfort her
Low writes: “Harry was just as dismissive of the two senior courtiers as Meghan.”
He goes on to quote an insider, who said: “He used to send them horrible emails. So rude.”
The book claims Private Secretary Sam Cohen, PR executive Sarah Latham and assistant press secretary Marnie Gaffney were also left stunned by Harry and Meghan’s’ behaviour.
One source told Low part of the problem was that everyone in the Palace “was too genteel and civil”.
They said: “When someone decides not to be civil, they have no idea what to do. They were run over by her, and then run over by Harry.”
The bombshell book claims aides were left so traumatised by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they called themselves the Sussex Survivors Club.
They even allegedly branded Meghan – who has vehemently denied previous allegations of bullying – a “narcissistic sociopath” and said they “were played” by her and Harry.
Low writes: “Sources say the team came up with a damning epithet for Meghan: a ‘narcissistic sociopath’.
“They also reportedly said on repeated occasions: ‘We were played.'”
The couple quit royal life in January 2020, shocking the world with the bombshell announcement.
Low says the ‘Megxit’ plans were decided at the end of the previous year.
But he claims they were allegedly kept from many staffers until the eleventh hour.
He writes: “Shortly before the end of the year, Meghan confided in a member of her staff that the couple were not coming back.
“The rest of the team did not find out until they held a meeting at Buckingham Palace at the beginning of January 2020.
“They found it hard to accept they were being dumped just like that.
“Some of them were in tears.”
Also in the book are allegations of Meghan’s “harsh” treatment of aides and disputes between other Royals.
Other anecdotes claim that Meghan even moaned “I can’t believe I’m not getting paid for this” during a royal tour in Australia.
