Tom Bower, a royal expert, forecasts an escalation of fresh allegations pertaining to Meghan Markle’s conduct while she was a member of the British royal family, with abuse allegations dominating the list. According to Bower, author of “Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors,” the disclosure of former palace aide Samantha Cohen’s allegations signifies the start of additional revelations.
Cohen, who previously assisted Queen Elizabeth prior to being entrusted with facilitating Meghan’s assimilation into regal life, recently commented on her time spent at Buckingham Palace with Meghan. Personnel felt “treated harshly” under Meghan’s direction, according to her, who characterized her position as demanding. This account is consistent with previous reports that mentioned comparable mistreatment by other personnel during Meghan’s tenure at the palace.
The allegations first appeared in a comprehensive report published by The Times in 2020. The report disclosed that Jason Knauf, who served as the couple’s communications secretary at the time, had filed a formal complaint with the human resources department of the palace regarding Meghan’s purportedly harassing conduct. Knauf asserts that Meghan’s conduct resulted in the departure of two personal assistants from the household and eroded the trust of a third staff member.
Bower offers a commentary that examines the wider ramifications of the allegations and proposes that the palace’s choice to withhold the results of their internal inquiry was motivated by a desire to contain the backlash and safeguard the personnel implicated. Bower believes that with Cohen’s public affirmation of her participation in the investigation and subsequent discussion of the work environment, a greater number of former employees will feel motivated to disclose their own experiences.
The potential disclosure of additional allegations against Meghan may have an effect on public opinion regarding the Duchess and contribute to ongoing dialogues concerning the difficulties she encountered at the royal institution. The progression of these events further illuminates the intricate nature of Meghan’s responsibilities as a member of the royal family and the interpersonal dynamics that exist within the Palace.
