Buckingham Palace tonight launched a probe into allegations of bullying by Meghan Markle in the latest explosive twist in the Megxit saga.
In an unprecedented move the Palace released a statement saying “we are very concerned” at claims the Duchess bullied staff.
The bombshell statement said: “We are clearly very concerned about allegations in The Times following claims made by former staff of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Accordingly our HR team will look into the circumstances outlined in the article.
“Members of staff involved at the time, including those who have left the Household, will be invited to participate to see if lessons can be learned.
“The Royal Household has had a Dignity at Work policy in place for a number of years and does not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace.”
The statement came amid further claims of rows between the duchess and aides over designer clothes.
One source said: “As an actress it was perfectly acceptable to take freebies sent by fashion chains and designer labels… But Meghan had to be told it was not the done thing when you are a member of the royal family.”
Despite the claims a friend of Meghan last night sensationally accused the Palace of racism telling Bazaar.com that Meghan was distressed at the accusations.
In an article written by journalist Omid Scobie – a friend of the Duchess and husband Prince Harry – the source hit back at Buckingham Palace, accusing them of racism towards the Duchess.
