I watched Meg & Harry rip apart royal staff, nothing was ever right and there was always an inquest

A royal expert has told how he watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry rip apart royal staff.

Speaking on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, Richard Palmer revealed there were always “huge inquests” after every engagement the duke and duchess carried out.

It comes as the royal couple this week hired a new communication officer, Charlie Gipson, who will represent them in the UK.

Mr Palmer was quick to point out that things were not smooth sailing with their last comm secretary - Sara Latham.

US born Latham, who formerly worked for Hilary Clinton, was placed in charge of the couple while they were still working royals.

However, she was forced to deal with a PR storm when a bullying complaint was raised against Meghan - which saw 10 royal aides be interviewed by the palace.

Speaking to The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson, Mr Palmer explained: "Sara was in a really difficult situation. She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

“She was trying to be loyal to the people who employed her - Harry and Meghan - and she was getting pelter from the press because of the way they were behaving.

“There were staff in the royal household complaining about the way Harry and Meghan were treating them .

“I’ve certainly spoken to people who have said that nothing they did for them was ever right - and there was always a massive inquest after every royal engagement that they did.

“It would be: ‘Why did we do this? Why did you say that?’ I think it was really difficult for a lot of people.”

Whoa...Meghan has NEVER been called or considered an American Princess. Just STOP this stupidity. It' so offensive.

[iamneverwrong]

That woman actually HAD everything she had always mercilessly sought her entire life when she was a middle aged newly married Royal. She had a Royal platform and the admiration of the world with a REAL CHANCE to do good…but she squandered it. Why? It didn’t fit into her narrow “Hollywood” view of fame and success. A truly wasted opportunity.

[angelavincent]

Wrong Megan was NEVER a breath of fresh air in the US

[Damitashley]

We never called her our American Princess!!!!

[tlbizzy]

I don't see why Catherine should have to say if the photo is edited or not. They are her photos and she can do whatever she wants to them. The press needs to understand that pictures taken by the Princess are not the same as those taken by professional photographers. She is choosing to share them with the world and is not paid for them, so the expectations are very different. These are pictures the press would not get at all were it not for Catherine taking them, so they should appreciate it and stop harassing her over them.

Meg isn't America's princess. Catherine, Princess of Wales is our princess.

[norahdenovan]

Harry really made the biggest mistake of his life marrying her 😡

[Dee-mjpu]

Without the Palace protecting Harry from himself & cleaning up after him, we are seeing the REAL HARRY!!

[stardust]

A British PR person is not going to change the British publics feelings about them. Harry has shown his distain not only for the Monarchy and his family but Britain as well. He is a spoiled, immature man.

[AlastrionaS]

Neither Harry nor Meghan Markle will ever realize the key to happiness is *gratitude* … what a pair of fools.

[sophielaurel]

Louis is the spitting image of Catherine's father.

[ihxbvsv]

When it got out Meghan wanted to be addressed as Ma'am I literally spewd my tea because I was laughing thinking never going to happen

[gwenthompson]

Harry said the American First Amendment was bonkers. Why is Harry involved in America's politics.

[ccurrie]

She got a degree she is not an AIRHEAD by any means. Our Princess is the RF best asset along with Sophie and Anne the Princess Royal.

[HimikoLily]

We don’t want him at all. The queen said no part time royals.

[Chosies]

King Charles understands how important princess Catherine is to the monarchy! She is loved worldwide! 👸🏻

[patriciawilson]

The horrendous things Harry wrote in his book towards his family. Why on earth could he be forgiven after that, the RF are not a normal family in that everything is in the world domain and that can’t be just brushed under the carpet. Harry was wicked in his book to the King and Queen and William and Catherine that is just not a little family rift.

[teresacrawford]

Catherine am airhead??? Never. She was quiet and respectful and willing to learn. Not a mouthpiece. She knew her place and was respectful of it. She is a real gem!!!

[anniegetchergun]

There's NO way those two are coming back as working royals! We don't want them in the UK.

[jemmajames]

We don’t want Harry or Meghan thanks.Harry wasn’t actually lovely was he, it was obviously an act.
