Harry and Meghan Launch PR Offensive to Counter Bullying Allegations

The Sussexes' current and former staff defend their character in Us Weekly amid claims of difficult behavior.

The Hollywood Reporter published anonymous allegations accusing Meghan Markle of belittling staff and behaving like a 'dictator in high heels.'
In response, Us Weekly featured testimonials from current and former employees praising Harry and Meghan as the 'best bosses' they ever had.
Ashley Hansen, the Sussexes' global press secretary, and other staff members shared personal anecdotes highlighting the couple's kindness and support.
Critics have pointed out that Us Weekly's editor, Dan Wakeford, was involved in a similar defense of Meghan in a 2019 People magazine article.
The Sussexes' PR strategy has drawn mixed reactions, with some questioning the wisdom of engaging in public rebuttals.
