A FORMER Buckingham Palace aide who claims she was bullied by Meghan Markle is scared she will be taken to court.
The ex-staff member also slammed the Duchess of Sussex’s “lies”, adding: “It’s all a game for her. And she is loving it.”
A former Buckingham Palace aide who claims Meghan Markle bullied her has called on the Palace to reject her ‘lies’
The ex employee added: ‘It’s all a game for her’
She is one of many employees who are bound by confidentiality agreements banning them from speaking out about Prince Harry and Meghan’s claims.
Although it would be the Palace who could sue in the event of a breach, not Meghan, their fear of legal action is genuine.
The former staff member told The Times: “The only way to end it once and for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the Palace to firmly reject their lies.”
They called on Buckingham Palace to “step up” and lift the non-disclosure agreements and publicly respond to the attacks.
They said: “I certainly have chosen to remain silent out of respect for the crown, but if they keep attacking us and our characters, reputation etc, we need to feel we are equally supported by the Royal Family.”
And on the fear that they will be taken to court, they said: “She knows we can’t financially protect ourselves by going to court so she keeps pushing.
“It’s all a game for her. And she is loving it.”
It comes ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell six-part series, the first instalment of which drops on Netflix tomorrow.
Trailers claimed that the Palace leaked and planted stories, with Prince Harry saying: “It’s a dirty game.”
There are also claims that attacked on Meghan were racially motivated, allegations which are said to have left some palace insiders “seething with rage”.
The couple were faced with a “fakery” storm earlier this week after Netflix passed off Katie Price footage as proof the couple were hounded by the media.
At least four images promoting the controversial docuseries are not what they seem, while one other has been selectively edited.
This is despite Meghan and Harry repeatedly claiming that they want to reveal the “truth”.
The second trailer also gave the impression a lone snapper covertly photographed Harry, Meghan and son Archie inside a private home, when it was pre-agreed coverage of a visit to Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
It also shows cameras round a limo before cutting to tearful Meghan. But the passenger in the limo was in fact Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer .
And it came after the first trailer showed a press pack, which turned out to be for a Harry Potter film premiere years before the couple had met.
The second incendiary teaser released on Monday sees Harry accusing his family of “leaking” and “planting” stories in the media.
He also warns senior royals: “No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth.”
There has been mounting anger over the privacy-loving couple’s £100million series.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “The inaccurate photographs undermine the validity of what Harry and Meghan are trying to say. It makes them the object of ridicule.
“If you are going to criticise the monarchy you have to make sure everything you say or do is absolutely correct.”
Royal author Robert Jobson added: “They say the camera never lies, but it really depends where the image is used and in what context.”
He said he was one of a small press group allowed by the Palace at Tutu’s Cape Town residence on the official royal visit in 2019 and there was “no intrusion whatsoever”.
Mr Jobson added: “The photograph they’ve used is of a camera lens, overlooking them carrying Archie. That photograph was taken from an accredited pool position and allowed by the Palace.
“To suggest the newspapers are encroaching on the child is simply a distortion of the truth because nobody else was allowed into that compound. Therefore, you have to question the veracity of their truth in their documentary.”
