Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Drove Away Staff, Claims Insider

According to Myers, tensions arose within the royal family after Harry tied the knot with the former actress Meghan Markle. The dynamics between the couples were noticeably altered, with sources suggesting that Prince William and Kate Middleton believed that the Sussexes had ulterior motives.

One insider revealed, “They definitely thought the Sussexes’ behavior stemmed from something more than being difficult. The whole atmosphere between them was pretty toxic.” The insider went on to explain how Meghan’s assertive nature clashed with Kate’s more reserved demeanor, causing friction between the two duchesses.

Despite Kate’s attempts to mediate and encourage William to speak with his brother about the situation, their efforts were in vain. The rift between the couples deepened, especially when Harry seemed unwilling to address the issue of Meghan’s treatment of staff members, leading to a breakdown in communication.

As the tensions escalated, Kate, who had just given birth to their third child, Prince Louis, realized that there was little they could do to salvage the relationship. “At the end of the day, she had three young children, who were her focus, and if anything, she saw the inevitability of the parting of ways, although perhaps not to the extent of what eventually happened,” the source disclosed.

In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the shocking decision to step back from their roles as senior working royals and relocate to California, Markle’s home state. The move marked the end of their tumultuous time within the royal family, as they sought to build a new life outside of the constraints of monarchy.
