Allegations Meghan bullied her staff first appeared in U.K. broadsheet
The Times in March 2021, though another key version of the palace narrative can be found in the paperback edition of
Battle of Brothers by Robert Lacey later that year.
The book read: "As Harry explained it to Oprah [Winfrey],
Meghan's Australian tour success sowed the jealousies that caused feelings to 'change'.
"According to this scenario, William and Kate resented the Diana-like popularity that was generated by Harry's wife. But William had a different recollection.
"
We now know that Princes William and Harry were no longer on speaking terms before the Sussexes set off for Australia on 16 October 2018.
"Feelings had already 'changed', as Harry put it—and drastically so. The brothers had parted on extremely poor terms, with the trouble centering on Meghan's stringent treatment and alleged bullying of her staff."
Yet, Harry does not engage with the possibility that the leaks and hostility that followed were a
product not of jealousy, but of the very real rift created by the argument over whether Meghan was mistreating staff.
The key problem with Harry's royal jealousy narrative is the absence of evidence in support of motive in a context where there is an entirely plausible alternative explanation.
