The Daily Mail has been putting out a stream of anti-Meghan articles recently, some seeming to criticise for no reason, but this story, based on an exclusive article in the Times, has a ring of truth about it, I think. Staff working for her apparently left and one put a complaint in writing at the time.
I can't help but wonder whether someone who seems so keen to point up how good and compassionate they are (rather than just getting on with doing good works and being compassionate and letting their actions speak for themselves) is really all that good or compassionate in reality. (See Archewell - This screams "look at how compassionate I am/we are" to me, or am I being cynical? Compare with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation, which seems to me to be less self regarding.) I once came across someone who talked up his honesty and he was the exact opposite.
Just as I don't think the Salmond farce was a plot and neither was Sturgeon a conspirator, I don't think Meghan was a bully, nor was it a Palace plot. All this is simply the way MEDIA works - exaggerating and even inventing to make "a good story". Who cares? Except when it affects The Law.
Both could be true. She might be a bully AND have been bullied by the officials at the palace. Neither would surprise me.
I think she was treated very well by the press at first and nobody gives a stuff what colour she is.
Bullying is not the same as rudeness, but I can see why she might not be popular.
We have SEEN her slap away the hand of the man who attempted to help her from the car. We have SEEN her push ahead of her husband, and heard her demand that her voice be heard.
We know that the firm who "set up" her father with the photographs of him being measured for a suit is the SAME FIRM that her and Harry employ for their publicity shots, which for me, tells a lot.
If you cut contact with your previous husbands family, all old friends, your husband's family, your father's family, your siblings, and everyone in your mother's family except her, the problem is probably not with all these people, but you yourself!
I think they were probably fired rather than left by choice, and I wish they would stop sniping and just get on with things and be happy.
We will never really know will we Jo. One person's "bullying" is another's idea of holding someone accountable for their work; with a hundred shades in between.
I do wonder - if she did step over the line - whether the Royal environment and pressures may have played a part? She must have been unhappy to make the breach.
Bullies are insecure; did the highly strange environmemt of the Royal household make her so? Her background and experiences couldn't have prepared her less for that barminess I would think....
Really interesting points you all make. I wasn't aware of much of that, Honey. Not surprised she cut off her father, half brother and half sister though, as they seem to have betrayed her in ways many people wouldn't forgive: giving (selling?) a private letter to the media, writing to Harry to tell him not to marry her, writing a book with "Princess Pushy" in the title.
Regarding whether people care about her colour, the first Daily Mail article linked above has a section at the end saying there will be "revelations about race" in the Oprah interview. I wonder if Meghan will be accusing the royals of racism. There was this: Princess Michael of Kent says sorry for wearing 'racist' Blackamoor brooch ("The wife of the Queen's cousin wore a Blackamoor brooch to an annual lunch, where she met Meghan Markle for the first time.") Maybe not too surprising from someone whose dad was in the SS (unless it was meant as a clumsy tribute), but I really hope Meghan doesn't accuse the senior royals of racism, as I don't want to believe that and, if untrue, it would deal the royal family a blow they don't deserve and might never recover from.
Wyot, I think your point about bullies being insecure is spot on. It certainly sounds plausible that insecurity could have contributed to such behaviour, but I doubt that someone would suddenly start being a bully without already having an attitude problem. I gather that bullies sometimes also accuse others of bullying them. The video below seems to outline the problem well. It mentions bullies being capable of switching from bullying mode to "poor little me" mode.

The Royal Family would not withstand the full attention of the woke generation. And it doesn't matter what younger members do or say if the family is pulled into cancel culture for historic "offences".
The wokes haven't gone there yet. They are like a giant slow moving beast which will feed on a carcass until it is bone. But when all the statues of slave traders have been toppled; it won't take much for it to turn it's ugly head towards the Royals, especially if someone like Meghan lifts the lid....
With The Queen & Philip soon to be gone I fear for the future quite honestly.

I think "woke brigade" will go for the Royals to some extent but The Firm has their own guards and it's not like they Queen will stand trail to face "bullying." I don't believe a word what she or Harry say and the whole of the Royal Family is a farce just like the MSM is.

I think it is far more more likely that the Duchess means that the royals are perpetuating lies by not correcting them, rather than actually making them up.
The problem with suing people is that it encourages us to assume that all the other things which are not denied or challenged in court are true.

No I don’t think that but however the Royals are full narcissists and crooks.
They should dissolve before further shit hits the fan.
I've been looking at comments under articles on this topic on Facebook and can't believe the number of people accusing Prince Andrew of being a paedo. That woman has certainly done a good job on him. Hard to see his reputation ever recovering.

She's bears great responsibility for launching Satanic fantasists who have caused so much grief for innocent people.
