A shocking revelation has emerged from a new book, shedding light on the experiences of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's former employees.
The book, titled Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, authored by Valentine Lowe, exposes the alleged mistreatment faced by staff members at the hands of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During the Sussexes' tour of the South Pacific, which included visits to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga, Prince Harry's behavior was described as notably rude by the author.
The couple's staff reportedly dubbed themselves the “Sussex Survivors Club” due to their treatment by Meghan and Harry.
Despite receiving warm welcomes during their tour, the couple's interactions with the media were fraught with tension.
Prince Harry, known for his strained relationship with the press, displayed a prickly demeanor towards journalists.
Even during customary interactions, such as thanking the press for coverage, Prince Harry appeared impatient and eager to retreat.
Valentine Lowe vividly recounts an incident where Prince Harry's dismissive attitude towards the media caused uproar among his entourage.
Meghan, on the other hand, maintained a serene facade, while Harry's behavior was likened to that of a moody teenager.
The staff's frustration with the couple's actions led them to dub themselves the “Sussex Survivors Club,” with some going as far as labeling Meghan a “narcissistic sociopath.”
The timing of these revelations is particularly poignant, as hopes for reconciliation between the Sussexes and the royal family were on the rise.
Following their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey and subsequent withdrawal from royal duties, tensions within the family had escalated.
Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, set to be published in the coming years, has added further intrigue to the situation.
The royal family eagerly anticipates the contents of the book, uncertain of what revelations Prince Harry may unveil.
Amidst these revelations, a contentious issue involving a pair of diamond earrings worn by Meghan Markle has also come to light.
The earrings, reportedly gifted by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, raised eyebrows due to the prince's alleged involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Valentine Lowe's book delves into the controversy surrounding the earrings, detailing how Meghan's aides were aware of their origin but chose not to disclose it initially.
The legal teams representing Meghan and Harry have denied any wrongdoing, emphasizing Meghan's unawareness of the earrings' provenance.
As Meghan and Harry navigate their post-royal life in California with their children, Lilibet and Archie, the revelations from Lowe's book shed new light on the complexities of their relationship with the royal family.
Amidst ongoing scrutiny and speculation, the couple continues to carve out their path while maintaining financial independence through lucrative partnerships in the entertainment industry.
