The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has come under scrutiny from her employees this week after staff accused her of being difficult to work with.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
But a source close to Harry and Meghan rejected the claims last week, saying they were false.
‘These quotes were invented by someone who did not know our company. The Duke and Duchess work from Montecito and we are based in Hollywood. They probably think we’re all in the same office and this date would work, but circumstances don’t even allow it. If she is “marching” and “barking orders”, no Archewell employee could claim that. It’s complete nonsense,’ they said.
‘And the source said in the emails: ‘Who hasn’t sent an email when they can’t sleep or wake up early?’
“I never received an email from any of them at that time and even if I did, the Duchess specifically notes in her email signature that they all have a different working day and that she does not feel obligated to respond outside of normal business hours. “These quotes from sources make no sense.”

Another source told the Daily Beast that a florist was “yelled at on the phone” after posting a detail about a bouquet they were working on for her, without identifying Meghan as the client.
