Prince Harry (pictured here with his wife Meghan Markle) ‘hung up the phone’ on Prince William after he was confronted with witness statements portraying Meghan Markle as a vicious female employee bully, according to a new investigation.

In turn, William (who was photographed talking to the president of a charity on the phone in 2020) – ‘who really didn’t like him very much about his sister-in-law’ – became so angry at his brother’s insistence on protecting his wife from criticism that he jumped in a car. To Kensington Palace to go and meet Prince Harry.”
The series heavily blames “Meghan’s behavior for being at the center of the split between William and Harry.”
It says the Duchess of Sussex, 41, used her position in the royal family to bully and intimidate staff while they were staying at Kensington Palace with Harry, 37.
An email in the fall of 2018 written by Jason Knauf, Harry and Meghan’s former communications secretary, to Simon Case, the then-duke of Cambridge’s private secretary, first shed light on the scandal.
Mr Knauf claimed Meghan had “intimidated” two personal assistants “outside the home”.
An unnamed employee is indicated by the letter Y.
The documentary claims: “The Duchess seems intent on always having someone as a target. She bullies Y and seeks to undermine her self-confidence.
“We have received report after report from people who witnessed this unacceptable behavior towards Y.”
The Knauf email reads: “I am deeply concerned that the Duchess has been bullying and harassing two of her personal aides, to the point that it has provoked their resignations over the past year.”

The documentary continues: “Throughout 2018, there was already a wave of resignations among Meghan Markle’s team.
The former members have even formed an unofficial group which they called among themselves, The Sussex Survivors Club. Some of them are still traumatized.
‘William, who didn’t love his sister-in-law very much already,’ said Beric Jess, the royal author who wrote a book about the Duke of Cambridge, to the programme. He called Harry directly, and Harry hung up the phone.
Harry didn’t want to know anything, so William jumped in a car towards Kensington Palace, where he was going to confront Prince Harry.
The documentary quotes The Times Royal reporter Valentine Lou, saying: ‘There was someone so terrified of a conversation she was about to have with Megan that she said, ‘I feel sick’. Some of these young women were broken.
Buckingham Palace announced earlier this year that it would not release details of an internal investigation into Meghan’s bullying allegations, and that has led to accusations of a royal cover-up.
A Sussexes spokesperson said earlier, in response to times who originally reported the allegations, that they were the victims of a calculated smear campaign based on harmful and disinformation.
Her representatives also said the Duchess was heartbroken by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of self-bullying and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.
Megan, who recently launched a new podcast focused on female stereotypes, has vehemently denied the allegations of bullying.
She and her husband have “stepped back” from their royal duties and now live in Montecito, California with their two young children.
The couple are due to return to Britain in September, where Meghan is due to speak about “women’s empowerment” at a conference in Manchester.
MailOnline has approached the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment. A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge declined to comment on the allegations.
