Royals Recap: Why Meghan Markle’s staff stayed SILENT on alleged abuse, more

The author of a 2022 book about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has spoken out to reveal his thoughts on why their staff remained silent for so long about the so-called psychological abuse that they faced while working for the couple. Now, Valentine Low published his book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown back in 2022. And in it, he featured a number of quotes from anonymous sources claiming to be former employees of Harry and Megan. Many of those employees spoke out about the difficult circumstances that they were forced to endure while working for the Sussex’s with some going as far as to say that they faced bullying from the Duchess of Sussex during their employment. Now, many questioned why these employees did not raise issues while they were still employed by the Sussex’s to which Valentine said that many of them were afraid of suffering from repercussions if they dared to speak out about Megan and Harry while they were still working for them. Valentine said during a recent podcast interview that many of these staff members were suffering so unbelievably that they really were terrified about any consequences that they might face if they raised any kind of fuss. According to Valentine, some of these employees even went as far as to suggest that Megan’s capacity for revenge was infinite, hinting that they feared that she would try and get her own back if they dared to criticize her in any way. However, a spokesperson for Megan accused Valentine of trying to recycle false, offensive, and long discredited narratives, insisting that there is no truth to these claims whatsoever. Now, while Megan’s spokesperson is addressing claims made in a three-year-old book, the royal family is bracing for yet more revelations to come out in another new bombshell book that is set to be released on August 14th, entitled Entitled by Andrew Lowey. The book focuses specifically on Prince Andrew and the number of claims about slightly salacious behavior that have been made against him over the years. While I’ll spare you the graphic details, the book goes into some very intimate details about Andrew’s so-called sexual escapades dating back to when he was a school boy studying at a public school called Gordon. At the time, Andrew was given the nickname Randy Andy, which the book notes was because he was a very handsome young man, was already sexually experienced when compared to his classmates. However, that nickname took a rather sorded turn after some more inappropriate allegations about Andrew started to come out. Now, while Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has come under the microscope on a number of occasions in recent years, with Andrew denying all wrongdoing again and again, this is the first time that his so-called escapades have been looked at in such forensic detail over such a long period of time. The book goes into all kinds of detail about all manner of his relationships, including his marriage with Fergie and several other girlfriends that he’s had over the years, as well as a number of staff members who is said to have been involved with him while he was still living within the inner circle of the royal family, a position that he was expelled from soon after those Epstein reports first broke. Thus far, the royal family has not addressed any of the claims in the book. And I hate to tell you, but it’s unlikely that they are going to do so. While the royal family has issued a few statements over the years in response to major claims like this, they prefer to follow the very British mantra of keep calm and carry on.

Meghan Markle’s ex-staffers didn’t want to be on Duchess Difficult’s bad side. Valentine Low, the royal correspondent for the Times from 2008 to 2023, recently explained why Markle’s former employees waited years to speak out about the alleged abuse they suffered working under her. They “viewed her capacity for revenge as infinite,” the “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown” author claimed on Kinsey Schofield’s “Unfiltered” podcast. While Meghan’s team is addressing claims made in that book, the royal family is bracing for other revelations to come out in a new bombshell book called “Entitled,” which reportedly dives into Prince Andrew’s past. Royal expert Charlie Lankston is breaking down the latest in this week’s Royals Recap.
