Meghan Markle Warned Her ‘Naivety’ Could Mean Allegations ‘Will Never Fade’
Meghan Markle is once again at the center of controversy as new allegations regarding her behavior towards staff have emerged, with royal commentators warning that the “bullying narrative” surrounding the Duchess may never fade. Despite Meghan’s repeated denials, the claims of mistreatment continue to resurface, making it difficult for her to shake the public perception.
This latest round of accusations began when The Hollywood Reporter published a piece citing a senior staffer who described Meghan as acting like a “dictator in high heels” and alleged that colleagues are “terrified” of her, referring to her as “Duchess Difficult.” The report painted a picture of an intimidating work environment, claiming that Meghan belittled those around her.
In response to these allegations, Us Weekly released a cover story that featured both named and anonymous current and former employees who rushed to Meghan’s defense, praising her kindness and professionalism. However, soon after, The Daily Beast published new claims, with one source alleging that Meghan made people “feel like s**t.”

Talk TV host Kevin O’Sullivan weighed in on the situation during his show, stating, “What she [Meghan] has done, in her naivety—she thinks she knows all about Hollywood, but she doesn’t—is she’s propelled the bullying narrative into perpetual motion. She has hit back so many times that it will now never go away. Every time someone thinks of her, even if it’s not fair, they’ll think, ‘bully.’”
The recent claims come in the wake of previous bullying allegations made against Meghan in 2018, which she has vehemently denied. Despite her efforts to counter these accusations, the narrative continues to follow her, with each new report further embedding the public’s association of Meghan with such behavior.
The persistence of these allegations has fueled ongoing debates about Meghan’s reputation, and critics argue that the Duchess may struggle to fully distance herself from the “bullying” label. As the spotlight remains on her, many wonder how long the controversy will continue to shadow her, despite her continued efforts to clear her name.
