Royal Family May Lift Non-Disclosure Agreements to Address Bullying Claims Against Harry and Meghan
The ongoing rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the rest of the Royal Family has been making headlines for quite some time now.
The latest development in this saga is the possibility of the Royal Family lifting non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that were put in place to prevent former palace staff from speaking out about their experiences with the couple.
According to reports, Prince Charles and Prince William are considering removing the legal muzzles on the former and current palace staff who claim to have been bullied by Harry and Meghan.
The move could give some much-needed perspective to this currently one-sided debate in which Harry and Meghan are painting themselves as paragons of virtue amid a viper's nest of institutional bias.
The claims of bullying were investigated by a law firm funded privately by a senior royal and the relevant staff told their side of the story.
However, the palace then refused to publish the findings, meaning Harry and Meghan's denial of alleged poor behaviour is the only game in town.

Even those who took part in the inquiry haven't been told the outcome, and recommendations have been made going forward, but again, no one outside a chosen few knows what they are.
Under NDAs, commonly known as non-disclosure agreements, are commonplace in the US but less prevalent here, and are used by companies who don't want their trade secrets given away or celebrities who don't want a disgruntled nanny or cleaner dishing the dirt on them.
Harry and Meghan are quite proud of themselves for keeping the NDAs doing its job in the UK.
It's like a lock to shut the mouth of every royal staff that the couple bullied.
However, a former palace employee who signed a non-disclosure agreement says, “the only way to end it once for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the palace to firmly reject their lies.”
This employee claims that staff were reportedly driven to tears of upset and frustration by their treatment at the hands of the Sussexes before they decamped to their brave new world.
If the NDAs are lifted, the public will finally be able to hear the stories of the staff who claim to have been bullied by Harry and Meghan.
It would also give the Royal Family a chance to address the allegations and provide some much-needed context to the ongoing feud.
As Meghan says in the first Netflix drop of three episodes peddling their truth, “doesn't it make sense to hear our story from us?”
Ditto, doesn't it also make sense to hear the stories of the staff who claim to have been bullied?
The lifting of NDAs could also help to end the one-sided debate in which Harry and Meghan are painting themselves as victims amid a viper's nest of institutional bias.
If the palace allows former staff members to speak out, it could provide a more balanced perspective on the situation.
The claims of bullying have been brushed under the secrecy carpet, which, at best, seems untoward, at worst, downright shady.
The alleged bullying of public servants appears to have been investigated and then ignored.
