Meghan Markle is being blasted by her former royal aides, who say that she was a “narcissistic sociopath” during her time as a working royal.

‘Narcissistic Sociopath’
Royal staffers were quick to slam Meghan in an excerpt from the soon-to-be-released Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown book by London Times royal correspondent Valentine Low. Working for Meghan was such a daunting experience that her staffers — which included private secretary Sam Cohen, communications chief Sara Latham, and assistant press secretary Marnie Gaffney — dubbed themselves the “Sussex Survivors’ Club.”
Markle’s former staffers accused her of being a “narcissistic sociopath,” adding, “We were played.”
The Daily Beast reported that Low detailed the alleged bullying that staffers faced at the hands of Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, which left the aides “broken” and “shaking with fear.”

‘They Were Run Over By Her’
“When someone decides not to be civil, they have no idea what to do. They were run over by her, and then run over by Harry,” said one source.
From the start of her marriage to Harry, Meghan did not get along with neither Sir Edward Young nor Sir Clive Alderton; the late Queen’s old Private Secretary and King Charles’ new Private Secretary, respectively.
“As things started to go wrong, Meghan came to perceive Young as the inflexible, bureaucratic figure who summed up what was [wrong] with the BP [Buckingham Palace] mentality, and the feeling was mutual. Young really came to dislike Meghan’s style,” said another insider, who added that Harry would send “horrible emails.”

Meghan Wanted To Be Rejected By Royals For Her Own Narrative
Staffers believed that Meghan actively tried to get herself rejected by the royals so that she could construct a victim narrative for herself later on, when she planned to leave the royal family with Harry.
Low explains that staffers “came to be so disillusioned that they began to suspect that even her most heartfelt pleas for help were part of a deliberate strategy that had one end in sight: her departure from the royal family. They believe she wanted to be able to say ‘Look how they failed to support me.’”
Sources claim that Meghan complaining to HR was seen as her “laying a trail of evidence.”
“Everyone knew that the institution would be judged by her happiness,” yet another former staff member declared. “The mistake they made was thinking that she wanted to be happy. She wanted to be rejected, because she was obsessed with that narrative from day one.”

Queen Chastised Meghan
This comes after royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth once chastised Meghan in the lead-up to her wedding to Harry, when the American became “upset” with caterers presenting vegan dishes for her big day.
“Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste egg,” Nicholl said, according to Daily Mail. “She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic, when suddenly the queen walked in and said: ‘Meghan, in this family we don’t speak to people like that.’”
After Meghan and Harry left the royal family in 2020, the Queen reportedly told a friend, “I don’t know, I don’t care, and I don’t want to think about it any more.”

The Queen sadly passed away earlier at this month at the age of 96. Meghan and Harry are no longer senior royals, and they now live across the world in California, where they have signed lucrative deals to create content for Netflix and Spotify.
Meghan will undoubtedly be livid to hear about the new claims that are being made against her by her former staffers, but she has yet to respond to them.
