Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are once again at the centre of controversy as staff members accuse them of being difficult employers. According to a report published by The Hollywood ReporterWorking for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was said to be challenging, with Meghan in particular described as a “dictator in high heels”.
Following the allegations, the Sussexes’ team quickly refuted the claims, calling the article factually incorrect and accusing the fountain to make up the story. “The Duke and Duchess work in Montecito and we are based in Hollywood,” a representative for the couple explained. “They probably think we are all in the same office and this appointment would be valid, but the circumstances do not even allow for that. If she is ‘marching around’ and ‘barking orders,’ no Archewell employee could truthfully claim that. It is total nonsense.”
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Daily Mail He noted that Meghan’s powerful Hollywood agent, Ari Emanuel, was unable to prevent the critical story from being published. According to a senior Hollywood publicist, this was highly unusual. “Everyone, across the industry, reads The Hollywood Reporter“, the source said Daily Mail.
“It’s really surprising that WME hasn’t stopped this. WME would normally, as you would think, have threatened and denied access to other stars. Was this done here?” The allegations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the Sussexes’ work environment. Since their marriage in 2018, the couple have faced repeated speculation about staff turnover, with 18 senior staff leaving their positions.
Recently, Prince Harry’s chief of staff, Josh Kettler, resigned after just three months in the role. While the Sussexes’ team continues to question the veracity of these reports, the constant staff departures have raised questions about workplace dynamics, adding to the couple’s growing list of controversies.
