Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly "deeply concerned" about the timing of a savage US article about Meghan which coincided with the duke's 40th birthday celebrations.

The Hollywood Reporter echoed these sentiments, describing her as someone who "marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders".However, with Prince Harry's 40th birthday, which he celebrated on Sunday (September 15), the couple are said to be troubled by the timing of such claims, the Express reports.A source close to the Sussexes informed this publication: "The Sussex team have had more than enough of these types of articles, it's simply not true."Expressing concern over the article's release which appeared to be timed at the same time as the duke's birthday, the Sussexes' are worried it might have stemmed from a disgruntled ex-employee spreading falsehoods to tarnish their image.

The insider continued: "The focus for Camp Sussex now is to build on the success of the last year and to take that positive momentum forward into 2025 and beyond."There have been reports of a significant number of staff departures from the Sussex household in recent years, including their chief of staff, Josh Kettler, who resigned in August after only three months.
