Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have dismissed allegations about their difficult behaviour towards staff made by Vanity Fair as ‘distressing’, it was claimed today.
The damning profile in the magazine – headlined ‘American Hustle’ – stated that the Duchess of Sussex could be ‘really, really awful’ when things did not go her way.
Citing multiple sources who have worked for the Sussexes since they quit Britain five years ago, Meghan would be ‘warm and effusive’ towards employees before turning ‘cold and withholding toward the person she perceived to be responsible’ when something went wrong.
Things ‘went poorly, often due to Meghan and Harry’s own demands’, one insider claimed.
But their marriage is rock solid, a source has said, declaring ‘their love is real’ and they are still ‘hot for each other’.
According to The Times, the couple have dismissed the allegations with sources close to the Sussexes describing them as ‘distressing’. And an insider told The Daily Beast that with Meghan’s new Netflix show postponed and Harry in the UK for a tricky court case: ‘Things aren’t easy for them right now. Vanity Fair have succeeded in making a bad time worse’.
It came as comments from Sharon Stone defending them resurfaced in Hello Magazine, one of the couple’s favoured publications. Sharon said they are great neighbours who are the kind of people who wave to you in the street.
She said in 2020: ‘The thing about them, which is so great, is that they didn’t come here to live off of our community, they came here to be a part of our community.
‘They’re a part of our community, they become a part, a giving, caring, participating part of our community. They’re not here, like “Would you like to kiss my butt?”.’
Vanity Fair portrayed Prince Harry as a hapless if well-meaning man who came up with ‘crazy’ ideas such as a ‘sociopath podcast’ which would involve him interviewing people such as Russian president Vladimir Putin.
According to the magazine, the duke said: ‘I have very bad childhood trauma. Obviously. My mother was essentially murdered. What is it about me that didn’t make me one of the bad guys?’
