In an explosive royal biography due to be released this week, the Duchess of Sussex is accused of 'abrasive behaviour' towards staff members and diplomats. Written by author Tom Bower, 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors' claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'bombarded their staff with demands for retribution and removal of the criticism'.
40-year-old Meghan has been likened to Prince Harry's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, with the Duke and Duchess claiming that criticisms of Meghan were unfounded. However, the upcoming biography argues differently, according to early exclusive extracts published ahead of its release on July 21, The Mirror reports.
Bower's latest claims suggest that Meghan was 'abrasive' and demanding of her staff, and was 'inflamed by the slightest criticism'.

He penned: "Meghan was allegedly abrasive towards her four female staff and even towards the local British diplomats. According to one report, Meghan allegedly threw a cup of tea into the air. Her anger may have been partly fuelled by Harry.
"Every night he trawled social media, searching for snide comments on the internet. Every morning he and Meghan turned on their phones to surf the internet."
All claims of bullying towards palace staff or aides have been denied by lawyers on behalf of the Duchess of Sussex. Hours before Meghan and Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast in March 2021, in which Meghan accused the Royal Family of 'perpetuating falsehoods', complaints against her emerged.
The Queen announced a probe into bullying allegations after the claims emerged. This investigation concluded in June, although Buckingham Palace did not make the findings public.
Instead, the Palace claimed that recommendations arising from the investigation has led to improved policies for royal staff and affected change in their procedures. New implementations are said to have included the Royal Family's staff being honest about 'inappropriate' practices or actions.
A royal expert called Richard Fitzwilliams told the MailOnline that Buckingham Palace's refusal to publish the report could be viewed as an "olive branch" to the Sussexes.
