Prince William Reacts Angrily to Meghan Staff Allegations, Sparks Royal Rift

According to Robert Lacey's book "Battle of Brothers," Prince William became enraged upon receiving a detailed 'dossier of distress' compiled by royal aide Jason Knauf, which documented allegations of Meghan Markle's harsh treatment toward Kensington Palace staff. Reports described a toxic work environment, including early morning barrage of emails from Meghan, staff anxiety, and one individual reportedly suffering from PTSD. Meghan dismissed complaints by stating, "It's not my job to coddle people," but William was horrified as the royal tradition of treating staff "like family" was perceived to have been broken. This revelation led to a heated confrontation between William and Prince Harry, with Harry defending Meghan and William persisting, exacerbating their already strained relationship. The incident is cited as a significant factor in the growing rift between the two brothers, with rumors of their falling out surfacing as early as 2019. The reports highlight how the allegations and subsequent fallout deepened the personal and public divide within the royal family.
