Meghan's 'Duchess difficult' nickname 'came from Sussex employee'

Meghan Markle’s savage nickname of “Duchess difficult” is said to have come from someone “very high up” who still works for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a US report has claimed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source is said to have claimed that Meghan “doesn’t take advice” and has even reduced “grown men to tears”.

Maer Roshan – who works for the publication – said that he stands by his story after it was dubbed as “fabricated” by supporters and friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan, 43, has also denied claims of bullying members of staff.

He said the insider revealed that it “probably isn’t true” that the Palace manufactured claims Meghan is “difficult” to work with alongside the nickname “Duchess Difficult” following Megxit.

Speaking to Hollywood Access, Maer said: “Our reporter talked to a very high-up source who works for the couple and said: ‘Everyone is terrified of Meghan’.

He added: “Duchess Difficult is a nickname that has trailed Meghan Markle for quite a few years.

“What is new is that this notion, since coming to America, that a lot of these rumours were manufactured by the Palace and the reporting that we did suggests that probably isn’t true and there is still this undercurrent of fear”.

As friends of Meghan claim that they have never seen a “negative side to her”, Maer added: “Two things can be possible at once. The couple does help a lot of people.

“Meghan and Harry declined to comment on our story. I think Meghan would have said that barking around orders is something that we expect from men and it would never raise an eyebrow”.

The Hollywood Reporter also claimed in an article last week that Meghan “terrifies” people – whilst dubbing Meghan and Harry as a couple who are “poor decision-makers”.

Discussing Harry, the publication referred to the 40-year-old as “a very, very charming person” – yet someone who is “very much an enabler”.

It also reported allegations that Meghan was “absolutely relentless” and someone who “marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders”.
