A trusted royal aide has confirmed that she was interviewed regarding bullying allegations leveled against Meghan Markle. Samantha Cohen, who was a member of the royal staff for nearly 20 years, shared in a recent interview that she was one of 10 staff members questioned about the claims. Although she declined to elaborate, Cohen alluded to the staff turnover, mentioning that replacements were hard to find and staff members left even after being trained.
News of Markle’s alleged bullying first surfaced before her and Prince Harry’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. Reports from The Times of London indicated that Markle occasionally reduced staff members to tears while residing at Kensington Palace. Two senior members of the palace staff were reportedly bullied into quitting their jobs.
