Samantha Cohen reveals insights on Meghan Markle's bullying accusations

Recently, Samantha Cohen, a former aide of Meghan Markle during her time in the royal family, shed light on the bullying accusations against the duchess. Cohen revealed that she was one of the 10 staffers interviewed by Buckingham Palace as part of their investigations into the claims. The allegations surfaced in 2021, with Meghan being accused of fostering a hostile work environment for palace aides post her marriage to Prince Harry.

Speaking to Herald Sun, Cohen shared her experience, stating that she was initially meant to stay for six months but ended up staying for 18 due to the challenges in finding a replacement. Even when a new hire was brought on board and taken on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan, they too decided to quit while on the trip.

These accusations emerged shortly after the Sussexes made shocking revelations about their time in the royal family during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Meghan was alleged to have made her assistants cry and mistreated others to the extent that they chose to leave their positions within the Firm.

In response to the claims, Meghan's legal team denounced them as a 'calculated smear campaign.' Despite the investigation conducted by Buckingham Palace lasting over a year, a senior royal aide declined to disclose the findings to the public.

The revelations made by Samantha Cohen provide further insight into the tumultuous period surrounding Meghan Markle's tenure in the royal family. The ongoing scrutiny and controversies continue to shape public perception of the Sussexes and their interactions within the Firm.
