View Details A royal expert has told how he watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry rip apart royal staff.

Speaking on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, Richard Palmer revealed there were always “huge inquests” after every engagement the duke and duchess carried out.

It comes as the royal couple this week hired a new communication officer, Charlie Gipson, who will represent them in the UK.

Mr Palmer was quick to point out that things were not smooth sailing with their last comm secretary - Sara Latham.

US born Latham, who formerly worked for Hilary Clinton, was placed in charge of the couple while they were still working royals.

However, she was forced to deal with a PR storm when a bullying complaint was raised against Meghan - which saw 10 royal aides be interviewed by the palace.

Speaking to The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson, Mr Palmer explained: "Sara was in a really difficult situation. She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

“She was trying to be loyal to the people who employed her - Harry and Meghan - and she was getting pelter from the press because of the way they were behaving.

“There were staff in the royal household complaining about the way Harry and Meghan were treating them .

“I’ve certainly spoken to people who have said that nothing they did for them was ever right - and there was always a massive inquest after every royal engagement that they did.

“It would be: ‘Why did we do this? Why did you say that?’ I think it was really difficult for a lot of people.”
