The latest allegations against Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have not appeared in the tabloids, but in the London Times.

According to the report, there was a complaint against Meghan inside the palace in 2018 - not long after the couple's wedding.

We are talking about bullying.

Accordingly, among other things, two personal assistants of the former US actress are said to have quit because of the high pressure that Meghan had built up.

There is talk of “humiliations and tears”.

This emerges from internal palace emails that were leaked to the sheet.

What exactly Meghan is accused of remains unclear - as was the case in 2018, when the allegations were already negotiated in the Yellow Press, even then without the names of those affected.

The "Times" report always mentions the name Jason Knauf, who was responsible for communication in the household of Harry and Meghan at the time.

Knauf turned to Buckingham Palace at the time to, it is said, to protect employees.

This step was taken without the consent of Prince Harry, even more, he had even "asked" him not to pursue the allegations any further.

Meghan's lawyers speak of a "calculated dirt campaign"

Meghan's lawyers described the allegations in a letter to the "Times" as a "calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation".

It is no coincidence that these "distorted, several year old allegations" were brought to the British press shortly before Meghan and Harry wanted to speak "openly and honestly about their experiences of the past few years".

Both will unpack over the weekend in a pre-recorded interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey about their royal life - an indiscretion that is considered outrageous by parts of the British press.

"Meghan is saddened by the recent attack against her person, especially as someone who has been the target of bullying and is fully committed to supporting those who have suffered pain and trauma," added a spokesman for Meghans and Harry Request from the German Press Agency.

Buckingham Palace, however, did not want to comment on the matter.

By the way, Jason Knauf still works for the Royal Family, but is now part of Harry's brother William's team.

Knauf now heads the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's charitable foundation.

The US broadcaster CBS had already advertised the interview with Meghan and Harry with smaller excerpts.

In it, talk show host Winfrey says, among other things: "You said some pretty shocking things here." What it is about, but it did not make it clear.

The conversation will only be broadcast on US television in the night of March 8th (CET).
