A former Buckingham Palace aide who claims she was bullied by Meghan Markle is scared she will be taken to court.
The ex-staff member also slammed the Duchess of Sussex’s “lies”, adding: “It’s all a game for her. And she is loving it.”
She is one of many employees who are bound by confidentiality agreements banning them from speaking out about Prince Harry and Meghan’s claims, The Sun reported.
Although it would be the Palace who could sue in the event of a breach, not Meghan, their fear of legal action is genuine.
The former staff member told The Times: “The only way to end it once and for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the Palace to firmly reject their lies.”
They called on Buckingham Palace to “step up” and lift the non-disclosure agreements and publicly respond to the attacks.
They said: “I certainly have chosen to remain silent out of respect for the Crown, but if they keep attacking us and our characters, reputation etc, we need to feel we are equally supported by the Royal Family.”
And on the fear that they will be taken to court, they said: “She knows we can’t financially protect ourselves by going to court so she keeps pushing.
“It’s all a game for her. And she is loving it.”
It comes ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell six-part series, the first instalment of which drops on Netflix today.
Trailers claimed that the Palace leaked and planted stories, with Prince Harry heard saying: “It’s a dirty game.”
There are also claims that attacks on Meghan were racially motivated, allegations which are said to have left some palace insiders “seething with rage”.
