Meghan Markle under fire: Former allies speak out again
It's been known for some time that Meghan Markle's former collaborators don't always speak highly of her. The topic has arisen again in a piece published by "Vanity Fair," which contains some particularly harsh words.
Believe it or not, five years have passed since the memorable "Megxit." During this time, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have worked tirelessly to maintain a high standard of living and stay in the media spotlight. An in-depth article in "Vanity Fair" explores various aspects of their lives, including the ongoing accusations from former colleagues in the tabloid press against Meghan.
Former colleague of Meghan: "She was cold as ice." And that's not all
It likely doesn't come as news that not everyone has fond memories of working with Meghan. At one time, there were even accusations of bullying. Meghan has said on the "Archetypes" podcast that she disagrees with these allegations. She mentioned that she can be "direct", but also "has the right to set boundaries."
However, it seems her former colleagues may see things differently. This time, an anonymous individual who worked with Meghan on media projects spoke to "Vanity Fair." According to this source, Harry's wife quickly became cold as ice if things didn't go her way.
It was really, really, really awful. Very painful - she recalls. Because she’s constantly playing checkers — I’m not even going to say chess — but she’s just very aware of where everybody is on her board. And when you are not in, you are to be thrown to the wolves at any given moment.
The source cited by "Vanity Fair" also claims that Meghan was warm towards new colleagues, but they quickly lost her favour if they couldn’t meet her and Harry's standards. There were times when she supposedly undermined their positions and sapped their confidence.
It’s talking behind your back. It’s gnawing at your sense of self. Really, like, ‘Mean Girls’ teenager - the informant claims.
In contrast, Jane Marie, who worked with Meghan and Harry on Archewell projects, describes Meghan as a truly kind and authentic individual. However, not all experiences align with this perspective. Two insiders report challenges within the team behind Meghan's podcast, mentioning incidents such as staff taking extended breaks, resigning suddenly, or seeking therapy after their time working with her. Another individual suggested that Meghan's reputation might improve if she acknowledged her own missteps and role in these situations instead of portraying herself as a victim.
