In recent headlines, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of controversy yet again.
A new exposé claims that behind her polished public persona lies a different side—one that allegedly leaves her staff feeling terrified.
Some sources have even gone so far as to describe her as a “dictator in high heels.”
The Allegations
According to insiders, Meghan has been accused of being tough on her staff, with some alleging that her behavior has reduced grown men to tears.
One source stated, “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan,” and described her as dismissive of advice, making frequent and unpredictable decisions.
While her husband, Prince Harry, is considered charming and down-to-earth, the source implied that he enables Meghan’s behavior, which they view as problematic.
The “Dictator in High Heels” Label
Another source amplified the claims, portraying Meghan as relentless and demanding.
The term “dictator in high heels” was used to highlight her alleged no-nonsense approach to leadership, with some describing her as “barking orders” and creating a high-pressure work environment.
This image of Meghan contrasts sharply with her public advocacy for compassion and kindness.
High Staff Turnover
These claims are underscored by reports of significant staff turnover within Harry and Meghan’s household.
One notable example is their chief of staff, who reportedly resigned after just three months.
In 2018, Buckingham Palace even launched an investigation into Meghan’s treatment of royal aides, following accusations of bullying.
Regrets Over Past Choices
As these new accusations come to light, some royal experts believe Meghan may be rethinking her actions and choices.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield recently suggested that the Duchess regrets certain public statements, particularly those made during her and Harry’s 2020 exit from royal duties.
Meghan reportedly feels that some of her comments were misunderstood and did not land as she had anticipated, including controversial remarks made during the couple’s interview with Oprah.
A Changing Narrative?
Schofield also pointed out that the couple regrets the controversy surrounding accusations of racism within the royal family, which dominated headlines after their explosive interview.
Meghan had hoped that the focus would be on her struggles with mental health, but instead, critics seized on other aspects of the interview.
This has led to ongoing public scrutiny, with some questioning what Meghan’s next steps will be.
While these accusations paint a challenging picture, the Duchess of Sussex has not responded directly to the latest claims.
What remains clear is that public interest in her story—both personal and professional—shows no signs of fading.
