Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, issued a statement defending herself after a report in The Times of London quoted unnamed palace sources accusing her of bullying staff in 2018 while living at Kensington Palace with Prince Harry.
The report in the British newspaper, which comes just days before an explosive interview between the royal couple and Oprah Winfrey is set to air, was called "a calculated smear campaign" by a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Wednesday.
The story claims to quote a 2018 email from Jason Knauf, Harry and Meghan's former communications secretary, which was allegedly sent to a senior royal official saying that he is "very concerned that the duchess was able to bully two PAs of the household in the past year.".
It’s no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years.".
The Times of London report says that two senior members of her staff claimed they were bullied and another former employee was personally "humiliated" by the duchess
