Meghan Markle’s former employees have come forward, sharing accounts that paint a troubling picture of what it’s like to work under the Duchess of Sussex. Markle’s communications team has reportedly faced another shake-up, with her latest director, Emily Robinson, becoming the newest departure in what insiders describe as a continuing cycle of staff spin.
No one can keep up with Meghan Markle’s expectations, says source
Sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s camp claim Robinson struggled to manage Meghan Markle’s impossible standards and high-pressure demands. An insider told #ShuterScoop that working with the Duchess has proven challenging for multiple team members. “She’s impossible. Every headline, every comma — Meghan has to approve it,” the insider alleged. “If you push back, you’re gone.”
Several former staffers have reportedly detailed their experiences working under Meghan Markle, sharing what they describe as “horror stories.” According to one former employee, the Duchess frequently contacted staff at night with last-minute demands. “She’d call at 1 a.m. asking for rewrites or edits,” the source claimed, describing what became known internally as Midnight Meltdowns.
Former team members recalled an incident dubbed Red Carpet Rage, in which Markle allegedly grew angry over how she looked under event lighting. “She yelled that bad lighting made her look like a politician, not a princess,” the insider recounted.
Sources also cited a major public relations mishap during Meghan Markle’s trip to Paris, when the Duchess reportedly ignored her team’s advice not to film near the site of Princess Diana’s fatal crash. “She ignored warnings not to film near the Diana crash site — then blamed the team when backlash hit.”
Prince Harry has reportedly attempted to mediate tensions between his wife and her team. However, insiders say his attempts often fall flat. “Harry tries to play peacemaker,” said one source, “but no one can keep up with her expectations.” Those close to the Sussex circle claim, “It’s not a PR problem — it’s a Meghan problem.”
