Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have remained in the spotlight since their shocking exit from royal duties in 2020.
With every passing year, there seems to be a growing narrative surrounding their life in California, particularly focused on Meghan’s leadership style, which several reports liken to a “dictator in high heels.”
Allegations of her bullying behavior and the continual departure of staff members have kept the couple’s post-royal life a hot topic of conversation.
The term “Megxit” was coined to describe the couple’s unprecedented decision to step away from the monarchy, a move that raised eyebrows across the globe.
They cited the need for more independence and a life away from the unrelenting scrutiny of the press.
However, many observers noted that tensions behind the castle walls were simmering, especially with fellow royals like Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Things took a turn for the dramatic during their high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
Meghan made several explosive claims, including an allegation of racism directed toward their son, Archie, from an unnamed royal.
While she and Harry kept the identity of this royal a mystery, it fueled further speculation and discussion.
The royal family, typically composed in their responses, said only that “recollections may vary,” asserting the matter was being managed privately.
Now, a new wave of accusations against Meghan has surfaced, with insiders labeling her as a “dictator” who instills fear in her staff.
A recent article from The Hollywood Reporter cited a source claiming that staff felt intimidated and belittled by her behavior, emphasizing how she allegedly “barks orders” and shows little regard for advice.
This portrayal paints a picture of a woman who demands perfection and instills dread rather than motivation.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has faced allegations of such nature.
Back in 2018, two aides accused her of bullying immediately after she tied the knot with Prince Harry.
Buckingham Palace even opened an inquiry into these claims, although the results weren’t disclosed, and Meghan described the accusations as a “calculated smear campaign” against her character.
The latest claims, however, suggest that her behavior may have not only persisted but potentially worsened after leaving royal duties.
Insiders describe her as someone who “marches around like a dictator in high heels” who can reduce grown men to tears with her demands and criticism.
Such a reputation is further solidified by the rapid turnover of staff working for the couple since their departure.
Adding fuel to the fire, Prince Harry, while often portrayed as charming and laid-back, has been characterized as somewhat complicit in Meghan’s action.
Sources indicate that he plays a passive role, frequently changing his mind and enabling decisions that could be considered poor or chaotic.
This dynamic paints a less-than-flattering picture of their relationship, suggesting it is filled with impulsivity and disarray.
To complicate matters, Harry is in line for a significant financial boost of $8.5 million when he turns 40, as a result of a family trust set up by his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Although this financial support serves as a buffer, it also raises questions about the couple’s financial decisions since stepping away from royal duties, especially given the recent turbulence in their professional lives.
The couple has chosen to build a life in Montecito, California, surrounded by Hollywood elites, but reports hint that Meghan may not be as satisfied with this decision as she initially believed.
Some royal commentators suggest that she has begun to feel regret about how their exit from the royal family unfolded, realizing that her public reception isn’t as warm as she anticipated.
In a recent conversation, royal expert Kinsey Schofield posited that Meghan may be feeling the weight of her remarks, particularly those from the Oprah interview, which have not resonated positively in the UK.
The image of a victim failed to garner the anticipated sympathies, especially given the British public’s longstanding loyalty to the monarchy.
The Hollywood Reporter continues to stand firm on its reporting, despite some backlash and claims that the narrative was fabricated.
Maer Roshan, co-editor-in-chief, reported that credible sources have confirmed these allegations, further establishing Meghan’s reputation as “Duchess Difficult.”
Friends of Meghan argue they have never seen a harsher side of her, creating a contrast that leaves the public and media questioning the duality of her persona.
As whispers of Meghan’s “noisy tantrums” and demanding nature circulate, one must wonder what the future holds for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
With a blending of celebrity life and royal duty behind them, will these tensions continue to cloud their aspirations?
Only time will tell as they navigate this complex world outside of royal constraints.
