Meghan Markle’s former Spotify staff reportedly gave her the nickname "Eva," a reference to Joan Crawford’s character Eva Phillips in the 1955 film Queen Bee.
However, this wasn't a harmless workplace nickname—it was a full-fledged warning system. Employees would use the code word to alert one another whenever Meghan was nearby or about to have one of her infamous temper tantrums. Imagine working in an environment where a secret signal is necessary to warn colleagues of an approaching storm. It’s like a tornado warning system, except in this case, the tornado wears designer clothes and expects to be treated like royalty.
This revelation hardly comes as a shock to those who have been paying attention. Remember the stories of staff members fleeing Kensington Palace at an alarming rate? That wasn’t mere coincidence; it was a clear pattern from the very beginning. Meghan, who once struggled to land bit parts in cable TV shows, somehow developed an inflated sense of self-importance to the extent that she would only communicate with high-ranking Spotify executives. The same woman who used to carry her own audition dress in a paper bag suddenly deemed herself too important to engage with regular staff. Talk about a dramatic transformation.
Now, contrast this behavior with Catherine, Princess of Wales. Has anyone ever heard of Catherine demanding special treatment or requiring staff to develop warning signals for her arrival? Of course not. She exemplifies what true royalty is about—service, dignity, and grace. She understands that representing the crown is about duty, not personal gain. Meanwhile, Prince Harry, once affectionately known as the fun-loving, cheeky prince, has undergone a transformation that can only be described as heartbreaking. It’s as if he’s become a puppet, with everyone watching the strings being pulled right before their eyes.
The irony is glaring—Meghan spent only 18 months as a working royal yet seems to believe she is qualified to lecture the world on duty and service. This is the same woman who couldn’t handle the responsibilities of royal life but has had no issue using her title to land lucrative multi-million-dollar deals. Meanwhile, Catherine is out there working tirelessly, visiting hospitals, advocating for mental health awareness, and being a devoted mother to three future heirs. And Meghan? She appears to be more focused on creating turmoil in the workplace and ensuring she remains in the headlines.
The timing of these revelations is also suspicious. Just as the world is celebrating Catherine’s strength and grace during her recovery, Meghan suddenly resurfaces, drawing attention once again. It happens like clockwork—every time positive press emerges about the working royals, Meghan somehow finds a way to stir up controversy. Yet, despite all the drama, the monarchy has weathered far greater storms than this.
With William and Catherine, we see the future of the monarchy—steady, dignified, and committed to service rather than celebrity. King Charles continues to lead with wisdom, while Queen Camilla has proven to be a strong and supportive presence. As for Meghan, she has now partnered with Lemonada Media for another podcast venture. One can only hope that their team has done their research—or at the very least, prepared themselves for what’s to come. If history is any indication, they might want to watch Queen Bee to get an idea of what lies ahead.
Neil Sean’s latest revelations confirm what many have suspected all along—the patterns of behavior, the treatment of staff, the unrelenting need for attention. It all pieces together into a larger picture that has been forming for years. While it may be satisfying to have these suspicions validated, it is also deeply saddening to witness the ongoing impact on the royal family.
