English financier and environmentalist Ben Goldsmith recently stirred controversy by speaking out against Meghan Markle, claiming she is disliked in Britain not because of her race, but due to being a manipulative bully.
Goldsmith, a former non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, made cryptic allegations in response to claims of racism faced by the Duchess of Sussex.
While he swiftly deleted one of the accusations, his assertion of Meghan’s cruelty remains public.
Goldsmith emphasized that despite imperfections, British people are known for their welcoming nature and low levels of racism.
He highlighted a shift in public sentiment towards Meghan, once adored but now perceived as a deceitful bully who has been exposed.
Meghan’s presence in Britain has been likened to the import of America’s contentious culture wars, with the former actress repeatedly facing accusations of bullying.
The initial allegations against Meghan surfaced approximately 18 months ago, stemming from complaints by her staff during a tumultuous period before the couple’s relocation to California.
Former royal aides described feeling humiliated, terrified, and emotionally tormented, with some even driven to tears.
While accusations of bullying were vehemently denied by Meghan and Harry’s legal team, an investigation was launched by royal aides into claims of belittling behavior towards staff.
In response to the inquiry, a third-party law firm privately funded by the royal family was enlisted to examine the allegations, potentially straining relations between Harry, Meghan, and the royal institution.
Meghan consistently refuted the bullying accusations, dismissing them as a targeted smear campaign.
Despite efforts to address the issue, palace officials declared that the claims brought to their attention previously would not be formally investigated.
Separately, speculation has arisen regarding a growing divide between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as they navigate contrasting paths.
Following a chilly reception in the UK during Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, royal experts observed a shift in dynamics.
Harry reportedly felt isolated and disheartened by the cool reception from family members, prompting a desire to distance himself from the limelight and refocus on charitable endeavors.
The insider revealed Harry’s discomfort with the perception of excessive media exposure and a departure from their original reasons for stepping back from royal duties.
The couple’s differing aspirations have led to tensions, with Meghan keen on expanding their entertainment ventures, including potential collaborations with Oprah’s Network for a glimpse into their glamorous lifestyle.
Her interest in exploring reality TV opportunities signals a divergence in priorities between the couple, raising questions about their future trajectory.
