After a damning report cited Meghan Markle’s former staff calling her a demon and dictator, a new report claims that Meghan Markle was kind enough to not expect a response to her mails that she used to send at 5am. She let her staff know that she was not expecting a reply immediately, US Weekly reported citing five current and former employees who recounted their experience of working with the Royal.
“My working day may not be your working day. Please do not feel obliged to reply to this email outside your normal working hours,” Meghan writes this in her mails. Her staff claimed she is flexible and fair-minded like that.
Meghan has around 16 staffers working for production on various Netflix projects, podcasts, the Archewell Foundation, and communications. Meghan shares credit and writes personal email thanking her staff for their contribution, an ex-staffer said.
“If you’re in a meeting and a great idea is referenced, she makes sure to give props to the person who generated the idea,” the ex-staffer said. “[After] a big trip, every employee gets a personal email thanking them for their contribution in making it a success.”
Former head of content at Archewell Ben Browning defended Meghan Markle and said she encouraged a positive and supportive work environment. “We all continue to be friends,” he said adding that all suggestions of Meghan Markle being otherwise are false.
One employee said they never heard Meghan Markle yell as she is solution-oriented and gives clear direction. “If you come for our bosses, you’re coming for us. This isn’t a criminal organization. We’re trying to do good,” the employee said.
All Hail Meghan: Where did all start?
Meghan and Harry received a lot of bad press and saw a huge attrition rate. The couple’s chief of staff resigned after just three months on the job. A Hollywood Reporter account quoted staffers who said everyone working under Meghan Markle is terrified as she belittles people. “She marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders. I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears,” one said. Harry, on the other hand, has been described as a very charming person but an enabler of a terrible Meghan.
Another report from the Daily Beast portrayed Meghan Markle as a demon who chews up in person. “I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like s**t. 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,” one insider was quoted as saying.
