Still waiting to see your 'many articles' @antelopevalley !

I did just come across the following from Patrick Jephson, which I thought was interesting -

“Like many significant historical figures, Diana was not always an easy boss to serve,” Jephson said in an interview with P World. “She was an aristocrat to her finger tips, capable of steely defiance if she felt she had been the victim of injustice. She was also a consummate royal professional who set high standards for herself and her team.”
Jephson added, “She knew that the public’s affection was earned through hard work and placed on all royal people a special obligation to live up to historic expectations of duty and sacrifice. And she was extraordinarily observant, intuitive, organized and quick-witted; I learned very early in my royal career that even a small mistake would be noticed and would often earn her displeasure.”
However, on the flip side, Diana was great at showing gratitude to her staff members.
“She was equally quick to appreciate hard work and her many handwritten notes of appreciation remain among my most treasured mementoes,” Jephson said.

There were many articles. There are articles as recent as 2020 saying this about Diana.
One allegation - Evelyn Dagley, “found herself at the sharp end of Diana's tongue” upon occasion. He alleged Diana once said: “Look at this f shirt, Evelyn, look at it you idiot, it's rubbish, rubbish, rubbish — what is it Evelyn?

Diana had an easy time letting go of staff members who weren’t properly doing their jobs. Royal historian Louise Heron said that Diana had several nannies fired for improperly caring for the kids. “Nannies are sometimes sacked for inappropriate behavior, getting too close to the children,” Heron said.

There were headlines about her screaming at staff.

I have no idea what was true and I am not keen on posting anything negative about a dead woman. But the idea that these allegations were not made is simply untrue.
The reason people can not put links is that archives of newspapers are only available on paid for sites. You can not find newspapers from the 1980s and1990s through a simple google search. But a google search throws up plenty of articles from 2020 and years before where it is being alleged that Diana bullied staff.

So 23 years after her death? Not in her lifetime then. There may have been such allegations but I don’t recall them.

No, nothing was published. We haven’t the faintest idea about the report did or didn’t establish.
