Meghan Markle bullying claims: Buckingham Palace staff ‘furious’ probe is being kept secret

Palace staff are reportedly furious over the inquiry into Meghan Markle’s alleged bullying, saying she caused “real stress and trauma”.

Buckingham Palace staff are reportedly furious that the probe into Meghan Markle’s alleged bullying has been “buried”, after the Duchess caused “real stress and trauma”.

The palace probe into claims Meghan bullied royal aides, reportedly forcing two personal aides out of her household — will never be published, despite it leading to a raft of changes.

Some staff members are said to be “deeply disappointed”, according to The Times while others claim they were never informed that the inquiry had finished recently, let alone what the results were.

The Duchess of Sussex has vehemently denied any form of wrongdoing after the allegations were made shortly before her March 2021 interview with Oprah.

Despite that, the Queen privately paid a private law firm for an inquiry into the claims.

The results of the probe will never be made public, but instead kept under wraps permanently to protect the privacy of those who took part, The Sun reports.

It’s understood Her Majesty also weighed up the tensions between the Sussexes and the Palace when deciding to keep the investigation private.

Courtiers had insisted the inquiry, which was launched in March last year, should “not be played out in public” to ensure those who took part felt “comfortable”.

It comes as a royal expert says Prince Harry spoke with “bizarre language” during his return to the UK this month.

While speaking about the relationship between the royal family and the Sussexes, The Mirror’s royal correspondent Russell Myers claimed the situation was “very frosty”.

Referring to the Duke of Sussex’s recent interview, Russell Myers said: “Harry was giving an interview just a couple of weeks ago when he was at the Invictus Games.

“It was all, sort of, bizarre language, he was there to protect the Queen and these things are not going down too well.

“If it [their relationship] is to be repaired, then there needs to be a bit more water under the bridge”.

The Mirror’s Myers agreed with Australian TV Host Richard Wilkins on the Today Show. He claimed the royal couple may be trying to “have their cake and eat it too”.

Myers added: “If Harry’s looking for some, sort of, piecemeal then he was a long way off that.

“The people I speak to, the Palace every day, who [are] obviously very well connected with the top players, as it were.

“They are still absolutely furious”.

Myers added: “You can’t go on, you know, international television interview with Oprah Winfrey, complaining about your treatment with the family and then wanting to sit down with them when you’re still giving interviews”.
