Investigation into Meghan Markle’s Alleged Bullying at the Palace Concludes, Palace Advisor Claims

The investigation into allegations of bullying made against Meghan Markle during her time at the palace has been completed, according to a senior palace advisor.

However, the report's conclusions will not be made public.

The investigation prompted improvements to HR policies for royal staff, although these changes have not been disclosed to the public.

During a briefing on Wednesday, a senior aide confirmed that while the report's findings will not be publicly available, the palace has implemented the recommendations.

It is now expected that all employees and members of the Royal Family will be familiar with the regulations and processes in place.

The new initiatives include encouraging staff to blow the whistle on any inappropriate practices or acts through a designated mechanism or independent counselors, ensuring that there are no restrictions on raising concerns.

The Duchess of Sussex has vehemently denied the allegations made against her in a report published by The Times in the UK.

The report claimed that one of Meghan's close advisers filed a bullying complaint in October 2018, accusing her of driving two personal assistants out of the household and damaging the confidence of a third employee.

In response, Meghan's representative released a statement expressing her sadness at the attack on her character and reaffirming her commitment to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.

Following the publication of The Times article, Buckingham Palace ordered an investigation into the claims.

The Palace expressed deep concern over the comments made by former members of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's staff and stated that their HR team would investigate the facts mentioned in the article.

All staff members, including those who have left the household, were invited to participate in the investigation to determine if any lessons could be learned.

The privately sponsored assessment, conducted by a separate legal firm, has now been concluded, according to Sir Michael Stevens, the Queen's Accountant and a top Palace advisor.

During the annual briefing on royal finances at Buckingham Palace, Stevens clarified that no taxpayers' money was spent on the assessment.

He emphasized that the purpose of the evaluation was to review how the complaints were handled and to consider potential changes to HR rules and processes.

While no further comments will be made, the recommendations from the evaluation have been implemented.
