Samantha Cohen Speaks Out on Bullying Allegations Against Meghan Markle: Former Aide Breaks Silence | World News

Former aide of Meghan Markle, Samantha Cohen, has broken her silence on the bullying accusations against the Duchess. Cohen was one of 10 royal staffers interviewed in Buckingham Palace’s investigation into the allegations of Meghan creating a toxic work environment.

The accusations date back to 2018 when Meghan allegedly forced two personal assistants out of Kensington Palace. The internal email detailing the complaints was leaked to the UK broadcast The Times. However, Meghan has denied the allegations.

Cohen, who worked as an assistant private secretary to Queen Elizabeth before becoming private secretary to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, revealed that she was initially supposed to stay for six months but ended up staying for 18 due to the difficulty in finding a replacement. Even when a replacement was found and taken on tour to Africa with the royal couple, they also left their position while on the tour.

The allegations of bullying were first made public when Cohen left Kensington Palace, with headlines referring to Meghan as “Duchess Difficult.” Jason Knauf, the communications secretary of Kensington Palace at the time, expressed concerns in an email to Prince William’s private secretary about Meghan’s treatment of staff.

The investigation into the bullying accusations sheds light on the challenges faced within the royal household and raises questions about Meghan’s behavior towards her staff. As the story unfolds, more details are expected to emerge about the dynamics within the royal family.
