Samantha Cohen, 54, Meghan Markle‘s former secretary, finally spoke up to the Australian newspaper Herald Sun, claiming that the information about the bullying she suffered from the Duchess of Sussex is completely true, ensuring that for that reason in the office of the royals there was so much staff turnover.
She said, “I was only supposed to stay six months, but I stayed 18. We couldn’t find a replacement for me and when we did, we took that person on a tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them how everything worked, but he didn’t accept the job“, revealing that keeping a job with the duchess was complicated.
Cohen also confessed to having been one of the 10 people questioned for the internal investigation conducted by Buckingham Palace on the alleged case of bullying by the Duchess, but decided not to give more details on the subject.
According to some British media, Meghan started sending emails to her employees at 05:00 AM, outside their working hours, but her husband, Harry, explained in his book ‘Spare’: “She was usually awake at that time, trying to keep in touch with her early morning friends in the United States, but did not expect an immediate response“.
The prince also revealed that all the headlines by the British media were false and that the former secretary Samantha Cohen was not fired by them: “The HR department of the Royal Household had asked for her resignation after we provided evidence that the assistant in question had used her position with Meg to obtain gifts“.
