Meghan Markle called a ‘demon’ with ‘psycho moments’ by alleged ex staffers

A new report citing alleged former employees paints the Duchess of Sussex as a “demon” who had “psycho moments”.

Has Hollywood turned on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?

Meghan Markle is under fire about her behaviour as a boss.

An article in The Daily Beast reported ex staffers of Meghan, 43, said she could be a “demon” who had “psycho moments”.

According to the publication, an unnamed source who allegedly worked for her and Prince Harry as part of their service at Buckingham Palace said: “There definitely were bad, very bad, even psycho moments.”

They continued: “I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like s**t.”

The source added, according to the publication: “It was an incredibly fraught time and I’m inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. She has said herself she was suicidal at times.”

Another source who allegedly worked with Meghan ahead of her 2018 wedding to Harry, 40, called her a “narcissist.”
“I always thought she was a classic narcissist and getting her staff to tell a magazine how amazing she is only confirms that in my mind,” they said.

“She is lovely when it is all going her way but a demon when the worm turns,” the source added.

The publication reported that another insider said a florist got “screamed at down the phone” for half an hour because they allegedly “posted an insignificant detail online about a bouquet they were working on for Meghan.”
The source added: “They vowed never to work with her again, despite the prestige of having her as a client. If you were working for her, you were often treated like a tradesman who could be treated like s**t.”

The Daily Beast story was published a day after a US Weekly report painted Meghan in a “positive and supportive” light. That article came out after a Hollywood Reporter article claimed Meghan had been dubbed “Duchess Difficult”.

Despite backlash by Harry and Meghan supporters, Maer Roshan, the co-editor-in-chief of the Hollywood Reporter said he stands by the story.

Roshan told Access Hollywood: “Our reporter talked to a very high-up source who works for the couple and said: ‘Everyone is terrified of Meghan’. Duchess Difficult is a nickname that has trailed Meghan Markle for quite a few years. What is new is that this notion, since coming to America, that a lot of these rumours were manufactured by the Palace and the reporting that we did suggests that probably isn’t true and there is still this undercurrent of fear.”
