Meghan Markle showed her true feelings on unflattering nickname before staff row erupted -VIDEO
Both current and former staff of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been lifting the lid on what it's like to work for them after fresh allegations about how she treats staff - and in one episode of her previous Spotify podcast she appeared to hit back at the label of her being 'difficult'
A war of words has erupted between current and former employees of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle about their experiences of working for the couple.
Since moving to the US four years ago, the pair have earned a reputation for having a high staff turnover at their Archewell organisation. And last week, allegations that Meghan “belittles people”, “doesn’t take advice” and has the nickname “Duchess Difficult” surfaced in the the American title Hollywood Reporter, prompting other staff to leap to her defence.
It comes several years after claims from when Meghan was still a working member of the Royal Family that she was also called ‘Duchess Diffiicult’ then. However, it seems that Meghan once tackled this unflattering moniker head on – and it came during her former Spotify podcast, Archetypes.
In one episode of Archetypes she “explores the origin and plague of ‘the B-word’ and the label ‘difficult’ and how these terms are often wrongly applied to a strong minded woman”.
In the episode, Meghan examines why women are sometimes branded a b**** and says: “What these people are implying when they use that very charged word, is that this woman, ‘Oh, she’s difficult’. Which is really just a euphemism or is probably not even a euphemism., it’s really a code word for the B-word. She continues later in the podcast: “So, perhaps the truth is that labelling a woman as the B-word or as difficult is often a deflection.
“A way to hide some of her really awesome qualities, her persistence, her strength, her perseverance, her strong opinion, maybe even her resilience and those are the very qualities we are going to be uncovering today.” She added: “Okay, so calling someone the B-word labelling them as difficult, it’s often a way to insult and dismiss someone.
