Meghan Markle bullying inquiry ‘buried’ and will ‘never be public’, says insider

Buckingham Palace have buried the findings of a report into alleged bullying by Meghan Markle from when she was a serving royal, an insider has claimed.

A source said last night (Wednesday, June 29): "People suspected it would be buried, and now it seems that it has."

The Daily Mail reported that it is understood that even those who took part in the inquiry haven’t been told what the outcome is.

Some former staff described themselves as damaged by the experience of working for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan, 40, had claimed that the allegations were a calculated smear and in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she and Harry accused the institution of monarchy of racism.

Speaking on The Princes And The Press documentary on BBC, Meghan's lawyer Jenny Afia also denied the claims.

Several people who still work for the palace allegedly feared it would be damaging to their careers to give evidence in the inquiry, the Express reported.

There were claims that Meghan’s alleged "belittling" behaviour while a working member of the Royal Family drove two female personal assistants out of the household and "undermined the confidence" of a third.

When the bullying investigation was launched in March 2021, before Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah, the palace said any changes in policies or procedures recommended following the review would be shared in the Sovereign Grant report which is published annually and documents royal accounts for the year.

But at a briefing on the annual report yesterday, a senior palace source, citing the confidentiality of those who took part in the independent investigation by a law firm, said there would be no public discussion of the lessons learned.

“I’m not going to comment on the changes that have been made to the policies and procedures – I’ll just say that the policies and procedures have been updated,” he said.

“Because of the confidentiality of the discussions we have not communicated the detailed recommendations. The recommendations have been incorporated within policies and procedures wherever appropriate and policies and procedures have changed."

“So all members of staff, all members of the Royal Family will be aware of what the policies and procedures are, the revised policies and procedures.”
