Also 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 2: share some insider secrets about what it's actually like meeting 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: William and Kate. It is another big episode of From 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: the Newsroom. Well, it's certainly been a bruising week or 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: so if the Duchess of Sussex. Not long after, the 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: Hollywood Reporters blistering article quoted sources who are reportedly Meghan's 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 2: current and former employees, describing her as difficult and a dictator. 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: Yet more allegations have now been published. The latest explosive 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: claims have come from The Daily Beast, which quoted a 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: former courtier who alleged they'd seen quote demonic and psycho 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: moments from the Duchess. The ex royal staffer also claimed 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: they'd witnessed people being chewed up in person and over 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: the phone, but the source did admit that quote it 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: was an incredibly fraught time, and I'm inclined to give 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: her the benefit of the doubt now. It's also worth 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: noting here that the Sussex's team has already dismissed the 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: original claims as false, and a number of former and 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 2: current employees have now gone on the record with US 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: Weekly magazine to refute the allegations of bad behavior, claiming 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 2: she's a thoughtful and considerate boss. Either way, the negative 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: publicity out of the US is not ideal for Megan, 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: who is on the cusp of launching her new lifestyle 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: and homeware brand, which reportedly includes a range of products 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: and a Netflix series.
