In a shocking revelation, a bombshell report published by The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been causing distress among her staff. According to sources close to the couple, Markle has been described as a "dictator in high heels" who instills fear in her employees, reducing "grown men to tears."

The exposé, which examines the turnover rate within the staff working for the Sussexes, is likely to create turmoil for Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, as he celebrates his 40th birthday this weekend. A source in the article claims that "everyone's terrified of Meghan," indicating a difficult work environment created by the Duchess. The source further adds that Markle belittles people and disregards advice, portraying both her and Harry as poor decision-makers who frequently change their minds.

Another insider interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter states how Markle is relentless in her behavior, marching around like a dictator and barking orders, often resulting in grown men being reduced to tears. The article sheds light on the high staff turnover experienced by Markle and Harry. In 2021, Markle's top aide and private secretary departed, followed by the resignation of the couple's chief of staff after just three months on the job.

This isn't the first time Markle has faced criticism for her treatment of staff. In 2018, Buckingham Palace initiated an investigation into her alleged bullying behavior toward two royal aides. The report labeling her actions as "bullying" indicates a pattern of concerning behavior.

Adding to the recent developments, a prominent royal expert has claimed that Markle regrets the way she exited the royal family four years ago. The former actress, who closed the door on royal life in 2020 alongside Prince Harry, is said to be remorseful over her statements and their reception by the public. In particular, Markle deeply regrets the racial controversies that emerged from their interview with Oprah. The expert further suggests that Markle regrets providing fodder for her critics in her interview with The Cut.

The release of this scathing report by The Hollywood Reporter, a respected publication within the entertainment world, is likely to cast a shadow over Prince Harry's 40th birthday celebrations. Despite this, there may be a silver lining as it is revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth II had left a trust fund of $90 million for her family, with a stipulation that Harry would receive his share upon turning 40. This milestone birthday is expected to bring Harry an impressive cash windfall of $8.5 million, providing some financial solace amidst the controversies surrounding the couple.
