"Meghan Markle's Former Aide Speaks Out on Bullying Allegations and Staff Departures"

Samantha Cohen, Meghan Markle's former royal aide, has confirmed being one of 10 staffers interviewed in Buckingham Palace's investigation into bullying allegations against the Duchess of Sussex. Cohen, who worked for the royal family since 2001, claimed that staff quit due to the hostile work environment and that she herself stayed longer than planned due to difficulty finding a replacement. The investigation, privately funded by Queen Elizabeth II, concluded in June 2022, with Meghan's legal team denying the allegations and calling them a "calculated smear campaign."
