Meghan Markle’s email rule for staff revealed — after ex-employees dubbed her a ‘demon’ and a ‘dictator’

damning Hollywood Reporter exposé earlier this month in which an ex-employee described her as a “dictator in high heels.”But other staffers are now sharing a different story, saying the Duchess of Sussex, 43, was “great to work for.”In interviews with US Weekly, five current and former employees attempted to counter the barrage of bad publicity by saying Markle was “supportive” and “solution-oriented.”Employees admitted that the royal would send staff emails as early as 5 a.m., but she let them know they were not required to reply at that time. “My working day may not be your working day,” Markle purportedly writes on her emails. “Please do not feel obliged to reply to this email outside your normal working hours.”The email rule was evidence that Markle was a flexible and fair-minded boss, the staffers claimed.

Meanwhile, one former employee told the outlet that the Duchess insisted on sharing the credit with her team, which boasts around 16 staffers working for production on various Netflix projects, podcasts, the Archell Foundation, and communications.“If you’re in a meeting and a great idea is referenced, she makes sure to give props to the person who generated the idea,” the ex-staffer revealed. “[After] a big trip, every employee gets a personal email thanking them for their contribution in making it a success.”One former employee even went on the record to defend the Duchess.

Ben Browning, former head of content at Archewell, said the work environment fostered by Markle and her husband Prince Harry, 40, “was positive and supportive.” “We all continue to be friends, he said. “The narratives we’ve seen suggesting the contrary are untrue.”Current team members also backed up the royal couple.
