The Daily Beast website reported the comments.

The unnamed root is quoted arsenic saying: “I witnessed radical being chewed up successful idiosyncratic and implicit the telephone and made to consciousness similar s**t.”

The ASTONISHING claims travel a caller communicative successful different US publication, The Hollywood Reporter, that described Meghan’s absorption benignant arsenic similar a “dictator successful precocious heels” who reduced “grown men to tears”.

Meghan’s squad were already trying to disregard those earlier allegations — said to beryllium gleaned from a fig of existent and erstwhile staff.

In an bonzer determination to undermine the communicative this week, 5 existent and erstwhile employees of the Duchess of Sussex went connected the grounds to support her, saying she is the “best brag ever”.

Us Weekly, a mag known to beryllium affable to the royal couple, went successful to bat for them with an nonfiction headlined “What It’s Really Like To Work For Meghan Markle: Staffers Reveal Truth Behind Rumours”.

‘Negative publicity’

The nonfiction quoted the erstwhile employees, stating how, successful fact, Meghan was a caring and considerate boss.

It included claims she gives unit bundles of freshly chopped flowers, home-produced eggs, and makes her squad “feel similar seeds being watered”.

The nonfiction was wide dismissed arsenic a puff piece, with speculation it was perchance orchestrated by Meghan’s PR team.

Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, are understood to beryllium furious astir The Hollywood Reporter’s claims and are hopeless to stem the tide of antagonistic publicity they are facing connected the different broadside of the Atlantic.

It comes astatine an incredibly awkward clip arsenic Meghan is astir to motorboat a cookery amusement and navigator publication to spell alongside her caller manner brand, named American Riviera Orchard.

The erstwhile worker who spoke to the Daily Beast dismissed the Us Weekly nonfiction arsenic a cynical exercise, saying: “She is beauteous erstwhile it is each going her mode but a demon erstwhile the worm turns.”

In nationalist the erstwhile Suits histrion presents arsenic blessed and thoughtful.
But The Hollywood Reporter’s claims that she “barks” retired orders and sends aggravated emails astatine 5am eats distant astatine that image.

An insider told The Sun past night: “The Sussexes were near reeling by The Hollywood Reporter’s story.

“It appears that the Us Weekly communicative was sanctioned by the ­couple arsenic adjacent Archewell’s ­current planetary caput of communications, Ashley Hansen, was quoted by name.”

Archewell is the Sussexes’ ­charitable foundation, whose sanction was inspired by their five-year-old lad Archie.

A accumulation steadfast besides called Archewell, which has helped nutrient the couple’s podcasts and documentaries, has an estimated £75million woody with Netflix and £20million declaration with Spotify that supported the couple’s ­luxury manner successful a mansion successful Montecito, California.

They request much money-spinning projects similar those to wage their immense wage measure and support globetrotting connected backstage jets.

There is small uncertainty that the quotes astir Meghan published successful Us Weekly gush with unthinkable zeal.

Hansen told however her employers were supportive erstwhile country required her to instrumentality extended leave.

She told the mag: “Meghan would personally scope retired to my hubby regular to marque definite that we some were OK and had support.”

Unnamed existent and ex-staff members claimed that they near enactment with “a handbasket with caller flowers, caller fruit, caller eggs” oregon received gifts specified arsenic a “luxury canine leash”.

Josh Kettler, the astir caller main of unit to depart successful August, besides spoke up connected their behalf.

He described the Sussexes arsenic “dedicated and hardworking”, portion different ex-chief of staff, Catherine St-Laurent, said: “The clip I spent moving with Prince Harry and Meghan was incredibly meaningful.”

While praising Meghan’s “humanitarian” works, Archewell’s erstwhile main operating serviceman Mandana Dayani adjacent managed to plug her pal’s culinary abilities.

She said: “Some of my favourite memories were during our play meetings successful their Montecito home, wherever Meghan ever served the astir unthinkable lunches, snacks and her latest beauteous concoction.”

Most telling was 1 remark from an anonymous root which blasted The Hollywood Reporter for publishing comments “likely made up from idiosyncratic who’s disgruntled.”

But that is not however The Hollywood Reporter is presenting things.

‘Felt Meghan’s wrath’

Earlier this week, the publication’s co-editor-in-chief Maer Roshan stood by the nonfiction published connected September 12, titled: “Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting On Harry And Meghan.”

He deed backmost aft a Sussex root had been quoted arsenic describing that study arsenic “fabricated.”

Maer told the American TV amusement Access Hollywood: “Our newsman talked to a precise high-up root who works for the mates and said, ‘Everyone is terrified of Meghan.’ ”

He stated that, anterior to going to press, his reporters spoke to a twelve radical who had worked with Harry and Meghan past and present.

Maer besides pointed retired that these unit members’ accounts were ­similar to reports made successful The Times who claimed they had “felt Meghan’s wrath”.

The Times reported claims that she had bullied unit wrong the royal household — powerfully denied astatine the clip arsenic “baseless smears” by Meghan’s lawyer.

Maer said: “‘Duchess Difficult’ is simply a nickname that has trailed Meghan for rather a fewer years.

“What is caller is this notion, since coming to America, that a batch of these rumours were manufactured by the Palace. The reporting that we did suggests that astir apt isn’t existent and determination is inactive this undercurrent of fear.”

Following repeated captious comments astir Meghan successful 2019, anonymous pals spoke successful her defence to People mag successful the US.

The exertion of People astatine the time, Dan Wakeford, is present exertion of Us Weekly. In some cases the magazines contradict having been briefed by Meghan oregon Harry personally.

This time, Us Weekly is said to person followed up an Instagram station by a unit subordinate sticking up for their boss.

But questions person been raised successful the past arsenic to whether Meghan is whispering successful the ears of journalists oregon not.

‘Best of the best’

In a High Court lawsuit 4 years ago, Meghan denied guiding Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, a erstwhile Us Weekly writer, for their unauthorised autobiography astir the mates titled Finding Freedom.

She had to apologise successful 2021 to the judge for forgetting that she had exchanged emails with an adjutant who was going to little Scobie and Durand.

Meghan insisted she had “no volition to mislead” the court. The Sussexes person agelong tried to power who covers their media events and deed backmost astatine immoderate antagonistic reporting.

Harry adjacent claimed that the Royal Family, nicknamed The Firm, was plotting against his wife.

In his Apple TV+ bid The Me You Can’t See, helium said determination was a “combined effort of the steadfast and the media to smear her”.

Journalists covering the couple’s royal-style circuit of Colombia successful South America were kicked disconnected WhatsApp groups by the squad of the country’s vice president Francia Marquez for reporting connected security.

Photos of Harry looking glum successful Colombia portion Meghan clapped happily told a communicative of their own.

Harry has conscionable been connected a two-day publicity travel to New York without her and travelled to a Santa Barbara fundraiser without his wife.

The Duke, who volition this play marque his 4th travel to the UK without his wife, besides went connected a lads-only nighttime distant for his 40th birthday.

It is, of course, wholly imaginable that the worker who told Us Weekly that Harry and Meghan “picked the champion of the champion from each tract and watered the seeds for them to flourish” did truthful with genuine enthusiasm.

Or, perhaps, a bully helping of manure was connected hand.
