Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of controversy, as new allegations about her workplace conduct surface, with a former courtier labeling her a “demon” boss with “psycho moments.” The claims have reignited public discussion about the Duchess of Sussex’s time working with royal staff before she and Prince Harry stepped back from their roles.
However, royal experts are urging caution, with some pointing out that the truth might be more complex than it appears. One such voice is royal correspondent Cameron Walker, who has noted that there are “two sides to every story” when it comes to the accusations against Markle.
In a conversation with GB News, Walker shared insights from Buckingham Palace’s internal investigation into Meghan’s alleged behavior. Meghan’s legal team had previously referred to the inquiry as a “calculated smear campaign,” and Walker hinted at potential cultural differences that could have played a significant role in the tensions.
“Two sides to every story is what I would add. I think clearly those close to Meghan are going to be liking Meghan and wanting to defend her very well,” Walker said, in reference to the conflicting accounts from Markle’s camp and her critics.
He went on to suggest that some of the allegations might stem from a “culture clash” between Meghan’s American background and Buckingham Palace’s deeply rooted British traditions. “But remember, Buckingham Palace did launch an internal investigation into Meghan Markle. At the time, it was described by Meghan’s lawyers as a calculated smear campaign.”
Walker emphasized that this clash could have led to misunderstandings between Meghan and the palace staff. “Perhaps she was American, and Buckingham Palace is clearly very British, very stiff upper lip,” he added.
The accusations against Meghan have resurfaced as media outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, continue to cover the couple’s strained relationship with the royal family. Walker expressed his belief that these reports often come from sources with an agenda, saying, “Hollywood Reporter, whoever they are, clearly have an agenda against Harry and Meghan.”
Despite the accusations, Markle has received support from friends, former colleagues, and other insiders who maintain that the Duchess is not the tyrannical figure some claim her to be. “Now, of course, she’s gone back to her hometown of America, Los Angeles, with a different staff working for her,” Walker said, suggesting that the current team in the U.S. might have a different perspective on Meghan’s leadership style.
Ultimately, the truth behind the workplace conduct claims remains murky, and Walker cautioned against jumping to conclusions, reiterating that it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where the truth lies in the ongoing debate. “It seems to be a little bit of two sides to this story, and it’s quite hard to see exactly where the truth lies.”
As Meghan continues her life in California, away from the pressures of royal duties, the debate over her time with the palace staff shows no signs of fading. Both supporters and critics will undoubtedly continue to weigh in on the allegations, but as Walker pointed out, the real story may be somewhere in between.
