With just days to go before Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s prime-time interview with Oprah Winfrey hits the air, the couple had been expecting reaction from the palace.
A follow-up email from Knauf to Case, who had started working for the Duke of Cambridge that summer, went on to question whether the establishment’s policy on bullying and harassment “applies to [members of the royal family].” He added that the palace’s head of PR, Samantha Carruthers, “agreed with me on all counts that the situation was very serious.
A close friend of the duchess—who speaks on the condition of anonymity—shares their own take on the situation, telling“I hate to say it, but find me a woman of color in a senior position who has not been accused of being too angry, too scary, too whatever in the workplace. It’s sad that it’s happening, but I’m not surprised. These claims are so far from the woman I know.
One of Meghan's friends, who has known her for 10 years, adds, “I know that Meg would feel awful if she knew that someone felt that way about working with her, but I also know that no one ever approached her about anything like this at all during that time. I have never known her to be anything but kind and considerate to her friends and colleagues.”Buckingham Palace refused to answer a list of questions regarding the story ; however, a spokespersonarticle.
scobie Scobie talking to himself again 😂
scobie Marble is a HYPOCRITE!! A USER!
scobie To wit:
scobie I'm sure the Queen is pretty fiersome in her own right, but crickets?
scobie Too angry - the Bully as Victim 💥 THREAD:
scobie I remember Michelle Obama in her book Becoming... she said one the journalist labeled her as an “angry black woman” and she wanted the journalists to pick one adjective... so this is a norm.
scobie Priti Patel? Please stop race bating. “A woman of colour in senior position” does not = victim. Because someone is a “woman of colour in a senior position” doesn’t mean they are victims by default & are to be automatically believed before both sides of the story are investigated
scobie Uk evil trolls are non stop saying racist things and youtube not doing anything to stop them. Check it out one of them is macron show pranks on youtube . This is just one example there r like dozens of this extermly racist evil uk trolls on youtube
scobie The monarchy already gave themselves a black eye! It is still puffy and black! Now they are working on the other one! Learned absolutely nothing!
scobie The colour of her skin is irrelevant ! Stop playing the racist card
scobie This isn’t exactly new news.
scobie ...neither staff member made complaints of their own or were aware that then Kensington Palace press secretary Jason Knauf had sent an email to HR citing grievances.
scobie And not one of these staff was a person of colour. If the Duchess was soo bad why play the game with her.. where r the adults.. I suspect whoever thought leaking this letter was a good idea wont think it will be soon. We all know what happened with David and Goliath
scobie Utterly obvious Royal stitch up. Utter tripe. The Royals relevance has long past. H&M are far better off blazing their own path away from a toxic relic of an institution.
Years after loud leaving this woman is still famous only in connection with royal family. After failure with podcast & useless couch lectures she realized most people don't really care about it so she can't make money. And she decided to play a victim for life, blaming every1🙄
scobie - Once applied to Royal Household to be a troll hunter/social media guru for H&M. Didn't get the position, didn't stop me doing the right thing though. ♥🔥
SuDharmapala scobie Give it 5 years, Harpers. You’re the one being racist.
scobie Funny Reitmans person said she is the meanest person they had met. They didn't say meanest mixed race person. l the people she victimized the worst were women.Perhaps PR should just revise Archewell. The truth is painful, but so is the madame.Biting her lip even. Demonic stares.
scobie This is true for all women. Worse for women of colour I’m sure. But she has played the victim card from day one and has whined non stop along the way. princess entitled
scobie speakupformeghan
scobie The bullying accusation as well as mentioning Prince Philip’s health in the context of the Oprah interview is used to make them look ruthless. And the Palace ler’s them hang. Who would want to be in that family?
scobie Sorry for changing the subject, HAVE YOU SEEN HER EARRINGS IN THIS PICTURE They are AWESOME... I WANT THEM... we are with Meghan
scobie On the other hand, she could just be a bully.
scobie Why play the race card? This is something a lot of ppl say about meghan can we just accept she’s not the greatest
scobie Why does this 'friend' think these accusations have anything to do with the color of anyone's skin? There's plenty of not-nice, bitchy people of every ethnicity and race. Stop using it as a default excuse
MmMin57 scobie Thanks scobie
scobie They bitched because she started her work day early. Well sorry she doesn't sleep till 11 am like the Queen.
Scobie coauthored the book about them so he is partial to Meghan and Harry. Meghan mistreated 2 assistants so they had to leave their job, then she began to undermine another employee. Her behaviour was so bad that her own communication chief informed William's private secretary.
scobie I think this senior adviser think he is Meghan’s boss not the other way around 🤔 intimidated by a woman and an American..”how there she tell me what to do, she answers to me type of Brit guy”🤷🏻♀️
scobie A submission taken from the deuxmoi Instagram page - this palace and its staff are toxic AF
scobie I worked with three black women supervisor and no they have been the loveliest!
scobie These people are monsters. Absolute monsters. So happy that Harry loves his family enough to have gotten them away from those people.
scobie Meghan not is color women. Meghan is white woman.
scobie Michele Obama Kamala Harris!! Brillant women. Beyonce excelent artist. Angela Davis activist. Halle Berry actress . Donyale Luna. Josephine Baker ( activist and actress). Tarana Burke (founder metoo)
scobie Maybe her fame has gotten over her head.
scobie What about their smear campaign against the poor staff?
ArchieStannumb1 scobie Meghan never stood a chance 😔
scobie Everything leads back to Jason Knauf and KP. The world is seeing this obvious smear campaign against Meghan in the run up to the Oprah interview. The Palace really shot themselves in the foot with this bungled PR move
scobie Until Prince Andrew talks to the FBI, I will never care about any claims about Meghan Markle lol we know royals and their staffers are perfectly fine with the worst behavior.
scobie And just to remind people, this is a PREGNANT WOMAN!!!!
This happens to all women in senior positions regardless of race, period. Why play the race card every single time someone criticizes her for anything?
scobie Is she in a senior position?
