Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s carefully curated image as a picture-perfect California couple appears to be in serious jeopardy following explosive new claims about the Duchess of Sussex’s alleged harassment of staff and the couple’s struggles to adjust to their new life in the United States.
a damning profile in Vanity Fair has sparked a wave of backlash, with royal experts warning that the revelations could destroy the Sussexes’ reputation in the United States just as they prepare for major projects, including Meghan’s upcoming Netflix series, ‘Love, Meghan.’
The profile details accusations from Meghan’s former employees who allegedly felt mistreated during their time working with her.
These claims, which echo allegations from her time at Kensington Palace, paint a worrying picture of a woman whose behavior left staff “in therapy” and led to accusations of “bullying” behind the scenes.
Tom Bower, royal author and investigative journalist, described the revelations as “devastating” for Meghan, especially given her recent attempts to reshape her public persona as a warm and loving mother and wife.
‘Having strongly denied allegations that she bullied her staff at Kensington Palace, the resurgence of her image as the Difficult Duchess who torments her staff into seeking therapy to ease the misery of working for Meghan is a disaster just on the eve of the launch of netflix‘Love, Meghan.’
The profile details accusations from Meghan’s former employees who allegedly felt mistreated during their time working with her.

The series comes as Markle is in the process of launching her lifestyle brand, American Riveria Orchard, something she poked fun at last year by sending packages of her products, such as jars of jam, to celebrities Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen. .

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in on the new show on DailyMail.com
‘Having invested so much to redefine herself as a loving and attentive Californian mother and wife, VF’s revelations have poisoned the smiling image of the welcoming housewife.
‘The worst thing for Meghan is the obvious breach of the draconian confidentiality agreements that all her staff have been forced to sign.
‘Clearly her enormous anger overrode any fears that she would seek legal retribution. It’s a bad weekend.’
Prince Harry is also facing increasing scrutiny, with experts calling his portrayal in the Vanity Fair article “lost, out of his depth and naïve.”
Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, warned that the couple’s reputation in the United States could be seriously damaged.
‘Harry is portrayed as lost, out of his depth and naive. According to the article, neither of them seem to understand what a successful career in show business really entails.
According to Fitzwilliams, the couple’s attempts to project a philanthropic and caring image through efforts such as helping victims of the California wildfires are unlikely to gain traction in light of the ongoing allegations.
‘The Sussexes are trying to project a charitable image by helping some of those affected by the catastrophic wildfires currently ravaging California. They won’t get very far after this is publicized.
‘Her With Love, Meghan’s cooking series is, judging by the trailer, saccharine and silly. This was postponed and is now scheduled for release on March 4, but a lukewarm online reaction could make the streaming giant think twice and drop it and, when its contract expires later in the year, keep very little, if any.
‘The Sussexes have made many accusations against the royal family. They, especially Meghan, now have a lot to answer for. Nobody likes bullies, especially entitled bullies!

Friends of Meghan Markle have denied rumors that they approached the Duchess of Sussex about a book deal detailing a possible divorce from Prince Harry.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have worked on many different projects over the years, from Harry Spare’s tell-all memoir to Meghan’s Archetypes podcast.
Branding expert Nick Ede also weighed in, noting that these allegations come at a particularly bad time for the Sussexes, as they are still trying to find their place in Hollywood.
‘In the eyes of the media they don’t seem to be able to do anything right, but now they also seem that way in the eyes of their neighbors.
“For such a respected publication, going against the couple will surely have negative effects on their brand and status, and all eyes will be on them to see what happens next.”
“Their brand continues to be battered and there is a sense that the tide is turning against them in America and that they are going to find it difficult to properly establish themselves as part of the Hollywood elite and as the favorites of the nation that they obviously wanted.
Ede added that the couple’s dreams of being embraced by Hollywood and establishing themselves as beloved public figures could now seem increasingly unlikely.
“With the backlash and accusations of ‘disaster tourism’ and the postponement of her Netflix show through no fault of her own, there’s not much they can do to curry favor right now.”
