Meghan Markle 'screamed down phone' to florist who vowed to never work for her again

Meghan Markle has been accused of "screaming down the phone" to a florist who vowed never to work for the Duchess of Sussex again.

In an article for The Sunday Times, Daily Beast's editor Tom Sykes has recalled conversations he had with various staff members who claim they were mistreated by Meghan.

One person who worked for Meghan and Harry reportedly told him: "There definitely were bad, very bad, even psycho moments. I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like s***.

"It was an incredibly fraught time and I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. She has said herself she was suicidal at times."

Sykes also told the story of a florist who vowed to never work with the Duchess again after she "screamed" down the phone at them.

The alleged scolding came after the florist posted a detail about a bouquet they were working on for Meghan - without identifying that Meghan was the client - on social media.

He wrote: "They vowed never to work with her again, despite the prestige of having her as a client. If you were working for her, you were often treated like a tradesman who could be treated like s***."

The allegations come after Prince Harry delivered a heartfelt speech on mental health social media's negative toll on the youth at the Clinton Global Initiative gathering in New York.

Bullying allegations have surrounded Meghan since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

But others who claim to have worked for the Duchess have a different account of working for her.

In American tabloid Us Weekly, many people were quoted as describing Meghan as a great boss.

One employee spoke about her penchant for sending her staff members gifts such as dog leashes and skincare products.

Ashley Hansen, Head of PR for the US-based royal, said she was treated by Meghan with the love and care a parent would give to her children.

The Sussexes have strongly denied any allegations of bullying.
