Meghan's BODYGUARD TELLS ALL!

As former staffers attack Meghan Markle, security expert Steve Davies reveals what she's really like

To hear them tell it, she was the boss from hell. Multiple staffers who have worked for Meghan Markle in the years since she began dating Prince Harry have described her as a "demon," a "narcissist" and a "dictator in high heels." They've accused her of "belittling" her employees and subjecting them to "relentless bullying," "undermining," and "emotional cruelty and manipulation" that involved "screaming," "fuming," "barking orders," "reducing grown men to tears" and generally "treating people like s." Perhaps most telling, 18 people have quit since she and Harry moved to California in 2020.

One former staffer even put his complaints in writing: "The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights," former press secretary Jason Knauf wrote in a 2018 email. "We have had report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable behavior." Now another staffer is going on the record. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Meghan's former bodyguard Steve Davies is telling all about what it was like for him to work for the duchess. "She gets a bad rap for being a not very good person to work with, that she was this evil person in the royal family," Steve, who had an intimate, firsthand perspective on Meghan as she transitioned from relative obscurity as a B-list actress to the unforgiving worldwide spotlight, tells In Touch. "I saw her, from working at the studio to working with charities to working with dog walkers and cleaners. There's one huge lesson I learned from her: It's give respect to get respect."

INSTANT FAME

When they first met in 2018, Meghan's life had essentially changed overnight.
