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

This gives them some weight, and so the article is currently the hot topic in the UK.

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

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 was talk of “humiliations and tears”, the employees - especially young women - were internally “broken”.

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

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

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

At that time, Knauf turned to Buckingham Palace in order, it is said, to protect the employees concerned.

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

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 did not comment at first, but then with a bang: it will initiate an official investigation into the allegations - an unprecedented process.

"We are very concerned about the allegations in the Times," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesman on Wednesday evening.

Bullying and harassment in the workplace would not be tolerated.

Accordingly, the circumstances described in the article would be investigated.

Numerous British media had picked up the "Times" revelations and granted them substance.

Text passages like this are cited again and again: "When Meghan was allegedly warned by a high-ranking palace assistant to treat her employees better, she is said to have replied:" It is not my job to pamper people. "

By the way, Jason Knauf still works for the royal family, but is now part of Harry's brother William's team - which also gives a deep insight into the cause.

The native American now heads the charitable foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

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.

On Thursday, the Duchess became clearer in a new preliminary clip: She accused Buckingham Palace of "constant false statements" about her and Harry.

The former actress also said that she did not know how the royal family could expect "that after all this time we will simply continue to be quiet when the company is actively involved in constantly spreading false statements about us".

"The Company" is a term Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly used to internally refer to the British Royalty.

The entire two-hour conversation is to be broadcast on US television on the night of March 8th (CET).
