Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's friend hits out at fresh bombshell claims against Duchess of Sussex

A friend of the exiled Duke and Duchess of Sussex has slammed a bombshell report which has cast Meghan as a "dictator in high heels".
The damning report, published in The Hollywood Reporter, labelled Meghan, 43, "Duchess Difficult" and claimed "everyone's terrified" of her as it investigated whether and why the couple have struggled to retain staff.
It came after Josh Kettler, a consultant who had been serving as chief of staff to the Montecito-based pair, was understood to have resigned in August - after a meagre three months on the job.
One source told the outlet: "She belittles people, she doesn't take advice.

"She marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders. I've watched her reduce grown men to tears."
Regarding both the Sussexes, they added: "They're both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently.
"Harry is a very, very charming person - no airs at all - but he's very much an enabler. And she's just terrible."
The Sussexes did not comment on the report when contacted by GB News.

And now, a friend of the couple has hit out at the piece, telling the Mail that "the reporting is ill-informed and very one-sided".
Despite the backlash from the Sussexes' inner circle, the California couple have built a reputation for losing employees - the two are thought to have lost at least 18 members of their workforce since their 2018 marriage.
Lady Victoria Hervey told GB News that Harry has been "deprived of freedom" as he is "dependent on Meghan Markle".

Lady Victoria told The People's Channel that Meghan is "worried about Harry straying" - and didn't let the prince host a party to celebrate his 40th birthday.
She said: "I think she keeps him on a really tight leash. You can see it in him... He's deprived of freedom.
"She's sort of his therapist and his babysitter and he's very, very dependent on her."
GB News has approached the Sussexes for comment.
