Meghan Markle Faces Accusations of Bullying as Royal Aide Samantha Cohen Speaks Out

Now Samantha Cohen, one of the late queen’s most senior aides, is reportedly at the center of an investigation. Uncertainty reigns as the bullying claims from royal staff resurface. With her no-nonsense attitude, Cohen served as Queen Elizabeth’s press secretary for 17 years before she left the job in 2019. Historian Valentine Low’s book quotes Cohen as saying she left after

In a recent interview with the Herald Sun, Cohen revealed that the Palace had spoken to ten aides after a complaint from the couple’s communications secretary, Jason Knauf, in 2018. Cohen declined to comment further, but Knauf alleged that Meghan was a staff bully and had even raised personal concerns about Cohen’s well-being.

The allegations come in a storm of claims against Meghan Markle herself, including bullying, just days before her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. According to Buckingham Palace, these allegations have been said to be untrue, and they ordered an investigation, proclaiming that they would consider workplace bullying unacceptable.

While at this, Cohen narrated her time at the service of the Queen, terming it a time in which she served a “special woman,” one who will even embrace spontaneity in as much as her events are on detailed planning. Now working for a mining giant, Cohen fondly remembered taking the Queen on royal tours that drew attention to the monarch’s ability to find humor in unexpected moments.
