Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are vehemently denying the claims leveled against them in a scathing Vanity Fair exposé titled “American Hustle.” The article, published earlier this week, painted a portrait of the couple as demanding and difficult, with Meghan Markle specifically accused of creating a toxic work environment.
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle SLAM Scathing Vanity Fair Article Claims Of “Brutal” Employee Treatment
Sources quoted in the article described Markle as “brutal” towards employees, claiming she would switch from “warm and effusive” to “cold and withholding” depending on their perceived performance. Insiders alleged that Markle, often described as a “dictator in high heels,” would “yell at” staff, even if her voice wasn’t raised.
One source painted a chilling picture, stating, “Because she’s constantly playing checkers, I’m not even going to say chess, she’s just very aware of where everybody is on her board. And when you are not in, you are to be thrown to the wolves at any given moment.”
The article also highlighted the couple’s recent business ventures, including Markle’s lifestyle brand, “American Riviera Orchard.” The piece noted the difficulties encountered in finding a suitable CEO for the company, ultimately leading to Markle assuming the role herself. This followed the abrupt departure of their Chief of Staff, Josh Kettler, which raised questions about the couple’s management style.
The Sussexes have publicly dismissed the claims as “distressing” and a deliberate attempt to undermine their efforts.However, the article has reignited public scrutiny of their behavior and raised concerns about their ability to successfully navigate the complexities of the American business world.
