Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight—and this time, it’s not for a glamorous appearance or charity work. A resurfaced video from her recent Australia trip has ignited a fresh wave of jaw-dropping claims from former staffers who say working for the Duchess was anything but royal treatment.
The viral clip, filmed during a public outing with Prince Harry, shows Meghan Markle appearing to flash what some viewers are calling a “chilling glare” toward a staff member who briefly touched her husband. The moment spread like wildfire online—and according to insiders, it brought back some seriously unsettling memories.
Royal commentator Tom Sykes revealed on The Daily Beast’s Royalist podcast that former employees reached out after seeing the clip, describing it as eerily familiar. One ex-staffer reportedly said it triggered “PTSD,” claiming the moment captured what they experienced behind the scenes.
“It’s classic Meghan,” the former employee allegedly said. “She smiles for the cameras—but behind the scenes, it’s a completely different story.”
The accusations don’t stop there. Former insiders have long painted a harsh picture of Markle’s leadership style, with some labeling her a “nightmare boss” and accusing her of treating staff as disposable. Others have gone as far as calling her a “dictator in high heels,” claims that have circulated in reports from outlets like Vanity Fair and The Hollywood Reporter.
Markle’s team has pushed back hard, insisting the viral clip was manipulated and taken out of context to fuel a false narrative. Still, the controversy is overshadowing what was meant to be a high-profile, feel-good tour.
During the four-day Australia visit, Markle and Harry attended a series of business and philanthropic events across Melbourne and Sydney. Markle also made headlines for appearing at an exclusive women’s wellness retreat—where VIP packages reportedly cost over $2,000.
But even that raised eyebrows. Critics slammed the Duchess after the outfit she wore at the event was quickly listed for sale on her fashion platform, sparking accusations that she was cashing in on the appearance.
Meanwhile, Harry delivered a keynote speech at a major safety summit, while the couple also met with survivors and first responders connected to the tragic 2025 Bondi Beach attack.
Despite their team insisting the trip was privately funded, reports suggest Australian taxpayers still footed the bill for security—adding yet another layer of controversy.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Meghan Markle continues to divide public opinion like few others. And with former staffers now speaking out again, this latest royal drama is far from over.
