An expert says that Meghan Markle‘s unreleased bullying report has a very unexpected link to ex-Prince Andrew. The claim comes as the name of King Charles‘ younger brother is tied to controversies. The fallout stripped him of his royal status, led to an unprecedented arrest, and left him facing continuing investigations.
Expert raises questions about the palace’s unpublished findings
According to a royal expert, Meghan Markle‘s unreleased bullying report includes a surprising twist involving ex- Prince Andrew. Per the Daily Express, author Andrew Lownie has offered a fresh perspective, claiming that the findings were withheld to spare the disgraced royal further embarrassment.
The background to the unreleased report lies in the Duchess’ UK years before the infamous “Megxit.” A formal bullying complaint was lodged by Jason Knauf, who at the time was communications secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
He had emailed Prince William’s private secretary Simon Case in 2018. In it, he alleged that Markle had chased two personal assistants out of her household and belittled another member of staff. The public only learned of the complaint after The Times covered it in 2021.
According to Knauf, employees were left feeling embarrassed, petrified and trembling in distress. And those who had left reportedly bonded over a shared label, casting themselves as the “Sussex Survivors Club.”
As for ex-Prince Andrew’s connection to the report, Lownie argued in his book “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York” that its suppression was deliberate. He claimed that the Palace withheld it to shield the monarch’s brother from renewed questions about his behavior.
Lownie wrote, “Buckingham Palace braced itself for historic complaints about Prince Andrew’s bullying, profanities and impossible demands.”
Regarding the Duchess’s stance on the claims, she has maintained her innocence from the start. Her team framed the allegations back then as a calculated smear designed to undermine her public image.
Meanwhile, as cited by OK! Magazine, Buckingham Palace confirmed that it had looked into the matter internally, yet chose not to share what it found. The Palace has insisted that the review was about improving processes and HR policy, not publishing individual findings.
