Buckingham Palace introduces “revised policies” after Meghan bullying investigation

They have refused to make details of the changes or the findings public

Buckingham Palace came under pressure recently for refusing to release any details about the investigation into bullying allegations made against the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.

A “private investigation” was confirmed to have taken place into complaints that Meghan bullied members of staff.

The palace have now confirmed the review concentrated on how the staff member’s complaints were handled, rather than the allegations themselves.

They have, however, revealed that HR policies had been improved as a result of the complaints, but refuse to make details of the changes public.

A palace representative told Sky News: “Because of the confidentiality of the discussions we have not communicated the detailed recommendations. The recommendations have been incorporated within policies and procedures wherever appropriate and policies and procedures have changed.

“So all members of staff, all members of the royal family will be aware of what the policies and procedures are, the revised policies and procedures.”

Buckingham Palace launched the investigation in March 2021, after it was alleged Meghan “humiliated” two members of staff on several occasions.

The allegations were denied by Meghan’s legal team and a limited number of former palace staff were invited to speak about their experiences of working for Meghan.
