Today we have yet another explosive story coming out of Buckingham Palace about the ongoing drama involving Meghan Markle and palace staff.

Over the past few years, we’ve heard rumblings of Meghan’s alleged difficult behavior towards her staff. Now, several former senior palace aides are speaking out with shocking new allegations about Meghan’s conduct during her brief time as a working royal.

According to multiple sources who have worked closely with Meghan, she subjected staff to “emotional cruelty and manipulation” through a series of what can only be described as disturbing “loyalty tests.”

These former palaces aides, some of whom had dedicated their entire careers to royal service, say they felt “sick to their stomach” after encounters with Meghan and were left in tears on numerous occasions due to her disrespectful, abusive treatment of them.

While we must note that Meghan has denied any wrongdoing, the persistence and severity of these claims from credible, long-standing Palace employees is certainly troubling. Let’s take a deeper look at what exactly these ex-staff members are alleging Meghan subjected them to.

Perhaps the most shocking revelation is that Meghan reportedly had a custom of pitting staff members against one another in loyalty competitions that left many feeling degraded and distraught.

On several occasions, Meghan would task multiple staffers with plans for the same event or project and purposefully pit them against each other to see who could best execute her vision. Whichever aide’s plan she deemed most perfect would then be praised lavishly in front of the other, crushed employees.
