Meghan Markle Throws Food and Screams at Staffer Every 10 Minutes During Funeral
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been accused of throwing food at a staff member and screaming at them every 10 minutes during a funeral.
According to reports, Meghan had repeatedly contacted the royal staffer while she and Prince Harry were out for dinner on Friday evening.
The worker claimed that Meghan felt let down about an issue that was apparently worrying her, which led to her persistent phone calls.
Valentine Lowe, the author of Courtiers, the Hidden Power Behind the Crown, spoke to members of the royal household about the couple's relationship with their staff.
In an extract from the book published in the Times, one worker was quoted saying, “Every 10 minutes I had to go outside to be screamed at by her, Meghan, and Harry.”
The worker recalled the conversation, saying the back and forth continued for a number of days at all times of the day and night.

This incident is not the first time Meghan has been accused of bullying staff members during her time as a working royal.
The palace confirmed it had launched a private investigation into the matter but chose not to make the findings public.
Meghan has always denied the allegations.
In addition to the alleged incident with the staffer, further problems have been reported between the couple and the Queen's long-established dresser, Angela Kelly.
Prior to her wedding to Harry, the Duchess had been told the Queen would lend her a tiara for the big day, as she had done for Kate during her wedding to Prince William.
But Miss Kelly was not available the same day Meghan's hairdresser was, so neither was the tiara.
This meant Meghan wasn't given an opportunity to rehearse with the tiara before the day of the wedding, which Harry viewed as Miss Kelly being obstructive.
According to Sussex's unofficial biography Finding Freedom, Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, Angela Kelly reportedly ignored repeated requests from Kensington Palace to arrange a date for the hair trial.
Author Omid Scobie wrote, “Nothing could convince Harry that some of the old guard at the palace simply didn't like Meghan and would stop at nothing to make her life difficult.”
Meanwhile, royal fans uncovered the identity of the man who gifted Meghan Markle diamond earrings, which reportedly left Prince Harry feeling shell-shocked.
The earrings were first photographed during a state dinner thrown by Fiji President Juji Konrode for the Sussexes.
At the time, it was assumed that the earrings were a borrowed piece from Queen Elizabeth's collection, but Kensington Palace refused to share who loaned her the piece, sparking questions.
In Courtiers, the Hidden Power Behind the Crown, Mr Lowe offered insight into the backdoor conversations of the palace and revealed that aides decided not to confront Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the issue out of fear for what their reaction would be.
Even Prince Harry ended up feeling completely shocked once he realized the public knew where the jewelry really came from.
The Times correspondent also explained that the Duke of Sussex is said to have looked shocked that people knew where the earrings came from.
In conclusion, the relationship between Meghan Markle and the royal household has been fraught with tension and controversy.
From allegations of bullying staff members to conflicts with long-established members of the palace staff, Meghan and Harry's time as working royals has been anything but smooth.
The revelation about the diamond earrings only adds to the intrigue surrounding the couple and their relationship with the monarchy.
