Journalist and Royal author Valentine Low sat down with Suzanna Reid and Ed Balls on Wednesday morning's Good Morning Britain to discuss his new book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown. In the book, Low delves into the life of royal courtiers - the trusted advisers in the King or Queen’s inner circle. One topic that is at the forefront of discussion in the book is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and particularly, their decision to stand down from royal duties.
During the interview, on October 5, Suzanna asked the author: “Is it true that a number of the courtiers who worked with her, called themselves the ‘Sussex Survivors Club’?” and he replied: “Absolutely.” Valentine then described how he thought that it was “a very difficult experience for some of [the courtiers]” and proceeded to discuss allegations against the Duchess of Sussex.
“There were allegations that Megan bullied staff,” Valentine said, “People talked to me of people being completely destroyed. I’ve heard people at the time, when faced with a possible encounter with Meghan, saying ‘I feel sick’ or ‘I’m shaking’.” He called the allegations “extraordinary” to hear.
