Author Russell Myers revealed that the Princess of Wales initially viewed the strained relations between William and Harry as a combination of \u201cimmaturity and stubbornness\u201d on both sides. However, she allegedly realized that the problem lay with their alleged misbehaviour towards royal staff. Myers added, \u201cHarry and Meghan\u2019s attitude towards palace staff, who she and William cared about, set the couples on an entirely different course\u201d (via\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sky News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skynews.com.au\/lifestyle\/celebrity-life\/could-follow-them-no-longer-princess-kates-dealbreaker-with-prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-over-their-alleged-treatment-of-royal-staff\/news-story\/e9022839ea7074d33a4f8591b6f53cc7\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky News<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, The Times reported that the Sussexes\u2019 former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, lodged a formal complaint in October 2018. In the complaint, Knauf claimed that the former Suits star had bullied staff members. The complaint alleged that the Duchess of Sussex \u201cwas able to bully two PAs [personal assistants] out of the household in the past year.\u201d Not only that, a third member was reportedly harassed as well, leaving the individual severely distressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Markle strongly denied the allegations at the time. Her representatives branded the allegations as a \u201ccalculated smear campaign.\u201d Buckingham Palace launched an investigation into the allegations in 2021. However, the findings were never publicly released. In fact, Harry referenced the allegation in his 2023 memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n<p>The Duke of Sussex detailed an alleged physical confrontation with William over his wife\u2019s alleged mistreatment of royal staff. As per Myers, this was the last straw for Middleton, who became disinterested in fixing ties with Harry and Markle. Myers said, \u201cCatherine had less interest than her husband in trying to persuade Harry to stay in his current role.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Sussexes eventually quit their royal roles and relocated to the U.S. in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally reported by Anwaya Mane on <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1780991-kate-middleton-deal-breaker-prince-harry-meghan-markle\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Mandatory<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Kate Middleton\u2019s Alleged \u2018Deal-Breaker\u2019 With Prince Harry &amp; Meghan Markle Revealed;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/05\/27\/kate-middleton-deal-breaker-prince-harry-meghan-markle\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kate Middleton\u2019s Alleged \u2018Deal-Breaker\u2019 With Prince Harry &amp; Meghan Markle Revealed<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Middleton\u00a0reportedly severed ties with\u00a0Prince Harry\u00a0and\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0over their alleged treatment of royal staff.
