"Meghan Markle's Ex-Aide Addresses Bullying Allegations"

Meghan Markle's former aide, Samantha Cohen, confirmed being questioned during an investigation into bullying claims made against the Duchess of Sussex. The Palace struggled to find a replacement for her due to high staff turnover. Buckingham Palace launched the investigation in March 2021 after reports alleged that Markle had bullied staffers. The claims were made public before her interview with Oprah Winfrey. In June 2023, Buckingham Palace announced that it had investigated how the staff had handled the allegations, and updated its human resources policy.
