Kate Middleton can finally find closure in the royal drama with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thanks to the scathing Vanity Fair article slamming the couple for bullying. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex found themselves the subject of a scandalous take-down last week after the news outlet released an 8000-word piece portraying them as “difficult” bosses and doubling down on the bullying allegations that have plagued the couple for years. It covered Harry and Meghan’s lives five years after bidding farewell to the royal family and burning bridges behind them.
The bombshell article headlined American Hustle has gone viral, sparking disparaging reactions. One insider has disclosed that the article also found its way into the palace walls, shaking things up in the royal fold several miles away from the Sussexes. According to the insider, the article has everyone in the palace talking, sending shockwaves through the walls. The insider divulged,
“Of course, everyone in the Palace has been talking about Meghan and Harry after they received such a damaging profile in Vanity Fair – which is shocking all round.”
Kate Middleton Feels Vindicated After Harry and Meghan Vanity Far Take Down
Circling back to Kate Middleton’s thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Vanity Fair take-down, the insider explained that the Princess of Wales had just experienced her toughest year yet, which put everything in perspective for her. Hence, she realized how much she wanted to let go of the Harry and Meghan drama and go about her life. The insider shared,
“The truth is she’s done with the drama with Harry and Meghan and is determined to go about her life without being involved.”
The insider added
“But does she feel vindicated? Absolutely!”
The article, American Hustle: Harry and Meghan Markle’s Big Business Ambitions, 5 Years After Their Royal Exit made several disparaging claims about the duo, gathered through interviews with previous coworkers and acquaintances. Former employees claimed the couple compelled them to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement hindering them from talking about Hary and Meghan or revealing the reason for suddenly quitting their jobs.
These sources also alleged Meghan Markle mistreated her employees, with many of them needing therapy after managing to survive the Sussexes. One previous coworker described working with Meghan as “really awful” and “very painful,” noting she could throw anyone to the wolves at a moment’s notice, keeping staffers on their toes. The article mirrored a previous piece where sources, presumably her US staff members, described her as a terrible person, and a dictator in high heels. The sources claimed her attitude earned her the secret moniker “Duchess Difficult” within their organization.
Harry and Meghan Endured Past Bullying Allegations
Before that, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had found themselves the subjects of several bullying claims. Even within the Palace walls during their time as working royals, several royal staffers accused the Duke and Duchess of bullying, prompting Buckingham Palace to launch an inquiry into the claims. Despite the allegations trailing her over the last five years, Meghan Markle shockingly believes herself to be a victim of bullying, once dubbing herself “one of the most bullied” people in the world.
In the wake of her royal exit five years back, the duchess and her husband made shocking revelations about their royal lives and how Meghan Markle survived bullying from the royal family. Harry reiterated these claims in his memoir, Spare, recounting instances of their intimidating encounters with the likes of Kate Middleton and Prince William. These claims have remained a hanging cloud over the future queen considering how much it could impact people’s perception of her. But with Vanity Fair, once renowned for their positive coverage of the Sussexes, now casting the spotlight on Meghan’s “dark side,” Kate finally feels a sense of vindication.
