Since her integration into the British Royal Family in 2018, Meghan Markle has been the subject of multiple reports concerning her interactions with staff.
These allegations have persisted, extending into her professional endeavors in the United States.
In October 2018, Jason Knauf, the communications secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reportedly filed a complaint alleging that Meghan's conduct had led to the resignation of two personal assistants and had undermined the confidence of a third staff member.
The complaint highlighted concerns about Meghan's management approach during her time at Kensington Palace.
These allegations became public in March 2021, shortly before Meghan and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Representatives for the Duchess described the timing of the reports as a "calculated smear campaign" aimed at undermining her credibility.

Despite the controversies, Meghan continues to engage in various media projects, including her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan," which has been renewed for a second season.
