Meghan Markle was reportedly incensed upon discovering that her employees had been engaged in a group chat on Telegram, a revelation that did not sit well with her.
According to a source from Hollywood Reporter, Meghan's reaction was one of complete turmoil. Colleagues and former staff members have allegedly described her as a “dictator in high heels,” claiming that she has exchanged her royal tiara for a crown of sharp words and unrealistic expectations. Reports suggest that many employees feel they must navigate her demands with caution, as she is known for belittling those around her and disregarding advice, often refusing to accept guidance from anyone.
It appears that Meghan views herself as the reigning queen of her domain, with little regard for the opinions of others. Compounding the situation, her husband, Prince Harry, is said to be neither an ally nor a buffer during these turbulent times. Insiders claim that while Meghan displays a relentless demeanor, Harry remains passive, allowing her to take charge. The couple has gained a reputation for making poor decisions and frequently changing course, which has left their staff in a constant state of confusion and frustration.
In May, Meghan reportedly discovered the existence of this private group chat among her staff, which led to what can only be described as a meltdown. Following this incident, she implemented strict new protocols to limit communication, demanding that employees leave their personal phones in designated bags or cars while at work and use company-provided devices instead. This draconian measure seems to stem from a fear that someone might divulge sensitive information regarding her next public relations misstep.
Furthermore, it appears that former staff members are participants in this secret chat, fueling Meghan's ire even more. One can almost envision her pacing angrily, demanding explanations as if she were the lead in a dramatic royal espionage thriller. Take, for instance, Josh Kettler, who was hired in May and left by August—rumored to have witnessed the fallout from Meghan's outburst firsthand. It’s speculated that he sensed the toxic atmosphere on his very first day, opting to depart just before the Sussexes embarked on their much-publicized trips to Nigeria and Colombia.
The irony of the situation is palpable: Meghan, who once criticized the constraining environment of her role as a working royal, now seems to impose similar restrictions on her own employees. Reports indicate she is requiring them to sign non-disclosure agreements, confiscating their phones, and micromanaging their activities. One might hope that, after witnessing such turmoil, Meghan would take a moment for introspection or perhaps work on enhancing morale among her team. Yet, it seems she is only intensifying her unreasonable demands, leading insiders to suggest that her empire is on shaky ground.
The reality is that you can only suppress individuals for so long before they feel compelled to voice their discontent, group chat or not. Critics of Meghan have not held back, with one video surfacing recently that shows her snapping at an aide while receiving flowers—an interaction that evokes the image of a potential Bond villain. As the cracks in her carefully curated facade begin to emerge, it seems inevitable that more former employees may soon follow in Josh Kettler’s footsteps, ready to share their experiences. Ultimately, Meghan's paranoia and autocratic behavior may be her downfall, as controlling a group of dissatisfied employees is no easy feat—especially when a Telegram chat is in play.
