Ah, the royal soap opera continues, and this chapter has us turning our gaze back to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Just when you thought we’d moved past the palace gates drama, Samantha Cohen, a former royal aide, spills the tea, and people, it’s piping hot.
Samantha Cohen, who’s been in the royal service since 2001, came forward as one of the ten royal staffers interviewed during Buckingham Palace’s investigation into the bullying accusations against Markle. She was supposed to be a temporary private secretary for Meghan but ended up sticking around for 18 months because, surprise surprise, finding a replacement was as hard as finding a corgi that Queen Elizabeth II didn’t adore. The plot thickens when Cohen reveals her successor quit amidst a tour to Africa with Prince Harry and Meghan. Talk about a job with more exit opportunities than a Silicon Valley startup.
Let’s not forget, this investigation wasn’t just any old inquiry; it was privately funded by Queen Elizabeth II herself and conducted by an independent investigator in March 2021. Two royal staffers had previously alleged they were bullied while under Markle’s employ, claims that Meghan’s legal team vehemently denied, branding them a “calculated smear campaign.” The investigation wrapped up in June 2022, with changes promised based on the findings, but in true British fashion, those details were kept as secret as the Colonel’s recipe.
Cohen also shared a tidbit about Queen Elizabeth II, painting her as the epitome of humility, someone who found delight in the occasional mishap. As for Meghan? Not a peep from Buckingham Palace or the Duchess’s camp regarding Cohen’s bombshell.
Here’s the deal, while the royal family might prefer their dirty laundry to be aired in private, this saga is important because it highlights the ongoing struggle between public personas and private realities. In an era where every action is scrutinized, the lines between truth, speculation, and outright fabrication become blurred.
Meghan Markle’s tenure as a royal has been anything but smooth, with every move dissected by both the media and the public. These latest allegations just add another layer to an already complex narrative.
