Meghan Markle has been labeled ‘Duchess Difficult’ by staff in the U.S., according to a source from the Daily Mail, who noted that she sometimes shows intense emotions, causing some individuals to tear up.

Meghan Markle has been dubbed ‘Duchess Difficult’ by her staff amid claims that she ‘terrifies’ and ‘belittles’ people, a damning report has revealed.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, a source close to the couple has claimed that Meghan ‘belittles people, she doesn’t take advice’.

They also described the couple as ‘both poor decision-makers’ who ‘change their minds frequently’ – with Harry dubbed ‘a very, very charming person’ and yet ‘very much an enabler’.

The publication reported allegations that Meghan was ‘absolutely relentless’ and that ‘she marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders’, adding: ‘I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears’.

The new claims come as the couple prepare to celebrate the Duke of Sussex turning 40 on Sunday, as separate sources suggested he was feeling increasingly lonely in the US and considers his security guard David Langdown his best friend.

The new allegations form part of a study into an exodus of staff who had worked for the Sussexes, including the couple’s chief of staff Josh Kettler who resigned from his role in August after a three-month stint
