But you do have names for some of the bullying reports about Meghan - Jason Knauff, Sam Cohen, Rebecca English and even Harry himself. Why do you discount them and all the whistleblowers?
But none of it is terribly clear.
I don’t know if Meghan bullied staff or not. And I really find it hard to separate a few instances out of a whole picture of the abuse of power in which royal family members have dabbled for years.
But I’ll give it a go.
It has been reported that a complaint was made by Jason Knauf in 2018 to HR in which says he observed Meghan bullying 2 members of staff, I believe.
Why then was it not looked into until 3 years later in 2021 when, 3 days before the OW interview was going to air, we heard about it? That was when the RF or palace announced that there was to be an investigation into Meghan bullying claims.
”Days before the interview aired, Buckingham Palace announced it would investigate claims that Meghan bullied some members of staff after The Times of London reported that Knauf had filed a complaint about Meghan to the palace's HR department in October 2018.”
But somehow this became an investigation into how the RF/palaces respond to bullying claims generally? A pp confirmed it was always an investigation into how palace HR response to complaints. Which is what I recently read recently. But which was it? It’s very conflicting information for the average informed reader. And most of this bullying stuff is being commented on on social media by, at very best, the averagely informed reader. It strikes me as all a case of smoke and mirrors again, that is perpetuated by the palaces, the tabloid media and montetised social media accounts. The last people they seem to care about are the people that might have been bullied. Otherwise they’d be angry/outraged about all the bullying by various members of the royal family.
So did they ever investigate the actual bullying allegations made by Jason Knauf and come to a conclusion concerning claims of Meghan bullying? Or was nothing done, and was it then used to smear Meghan (referencing her response) with allegations of bullying days before OW interview?
It emerged that Sam Cohen has said that working with Harry and Meghan was like working with two teenagers (not sure in what context that was meant, does anyone?) and that one of Meghan’s newly employed staff had left during the tour of Australia/NZ/Fiji. Did Sam say why? Did this come from a Sam Cohen interview? Is it clear in what context Sam was she speaking? Was she speaking in regard to the alleged bullying or was it just general observations?
Rebecca English reported in the DM that Meghan had ‘hissed’ at one of the staff. I’ve assumed that was the person Sam Cohen referred to. The one who Rebecca said was reduced to tears by Meghan’s ‘hissing’ .I’m not excusing Meghan if she did that, but did she do that? Sam didn’t say she did that, did she? (I don’t know). And if she did, is it any worse than berating a young maid over teddy bears, or yelling at staff member and throwing a book? (Andrew and Charles) We know for sure who accused Charles because it is in print. The alleged object of Charles’ ire told us. To be clear, I am not excusing anyon’s bad behaviour. Hold them all responsible for their actions, I say.
Why are people so quick to point their finger at Meghan when so many other members of the family have been rumoured to have bullied people at times. It isn’t a just ‘temper tantrum’ when you are an adult in the power position.
If we are to hold Meghan to account we need to have an even playing field and hold them all to account. I’m all in for that. The only ones who haven’t been accused of bullying are the late Queen, & the current Queen (as far as I know).
I don’t think anyone can really figure this out completely. I think some take more interest than others and have forensic recall, but mostly the people accusing Meghan of bullying on social media and in the tabloid media only know parts of the story and are accusing her anyway.
