Following shock bullying claims against Prince Harry, insiders have said Meghan Markle fears it\u2019s the \u2018nail in the coffin\u2019 for her future<\/p>\n

Meghan is all smiles for her lifestyle brand, but behind the scenes, we’re told she’s panicking<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no doubt that this year is a crucial time for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as the pair scramble to transform their reputation both in the UK and Stateside with their upcoming, make-or-break projects. <\/p>\n
But while Meghan, 43, is continuing her charm-offensive after the first batch of products for her lifestyle brand \u2018As Ever\u2019 sold out within an hour earlier this week, the couple were hit by yet another bombshell as Harry found himself at the centre of a shock bullying scandal. <\/p>\n
The Duke of Sussex, 40, was forced to step down from his Sentebale charity last week after its chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka, accused him of \u2018harassment and bullying at scale\u2019 and claimed he wanted to \u2018eject\u2019 her. <\/p>\n
And while a source close to the former trustees at the charity describing the claims as \u2018categorically false\u2019 and \u2018completely baseless\u2019, our insider says this situation couldn\u2019t have come at a worse time for the Sussexes \u2013 especially for Meghan.<\/p>\n
After months of complications with her former brand, American Riviera Orchard, and delays on her Netflix Show, With Love, Meghan, a source now says Meghan can\u2019t help but feel that her hard work relaunching her brand is being overshadowed by Harry\u2019s messy drama \u2013 and it\u2019s making her mad. <\/p>\n
The source says, \u2018Meghan\u2019s sympathetic to a large degree because she knows too well what it\u2019s like to be at the centre of a bullying storm. But she\u2019s fearful this is another nail in the coffin of her big lifestyle rollout.<\/p>\n
\u2018This latest scandal could ultimately cost them money, and that makes her very angry and apprehensive.\u2019<\/p>\n

Prince Harry has indirectly been accused of bullying<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
In an interview with Sky News, Dr Chandauka claimed how the board of trustees had been too \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 to discuss the charity\u2019s drop in funding, which she claimed had been declining since Harry and Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family in 2020 to begin what she described as their \u2018toxic brand\u2019.<\/p>\n
And the insider says, \u2018Harry is in a foul mood over this and he\u2019s vowing to clear his name with whatever it takes. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not incredibly stressful.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s exhausting for Harry, especially because he’s already so worn down. He\u2019s in pieces over everything happening with his father\u2019s health. To have this happening at a time when he\u2019s already so broken down is just beyond the pale.<\/p>\n
They add, \u2018He and Meghan are both distraught and losing a lot of sleep, the level of pressure on them is becoming untenable. Between him and Meghan, it sometimes feels like every day there seems to be some new catastrophe.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Sussexes latest scandal marks a change from the past few years which have seen Meghan at the centre of claims of bullying and reports of diva behaviour.<\/p>\n
In January, Meghan also found herself at the forefront of further bullying claims by a source who claimed to have worked with the Duchess and described her as like a \u2018Mean Girls teenager\u2019 whose team would be afraid of being \u2018thrown to the wolves\u2019 if they made a mistake.<\/p>\n
And the source says that while the Duchess is trying to move forward and stay positive about her latest project, the claims being made against Harry have been \u2018triggering\u2019 for them both.<\/p>\n
The source says, \u2018It’s especially painful because he\u2019s being accused of bullying, which is so not in his nature. Not to mention Meghan was accused of the same thing, which makes it that much worse.<\/p>\n
‘It\u2019s really triggering for both of them and has reopened old wounds. Fact is, this isn\u2019t just reflecting badly on him, this is impacting the both of them, their brand, everything they\u2019ve built together.\u2019 <\/p>\n
However, while the couple continue to receive backlash after explosively dropping a series of damning accusations against the royals, while being accused of using their royal monikers to earn millions in huge deals with the likes of Apple and Netflix, Meghan\u2019s latest venture could prove to be the golden goose she and Harry need to break off independently at last.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/as_ever-lifestyle-04-scaled.jpg” alt=”Pamela Anderson in Baywatch” title_text=”as_ever-lifestyle-04″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Meghan – who launched her products this week – is worried that this new scandal will damage the brand<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
The couple currently live in the star-studded neighbourhood of Montecito, California with their two children \u2013 Archie, five, and three-year-old Lilibet. <\/p>\n
But while Harry and Meghan have put on numerous displays of affection over the past few months \u2013 including kissing and hugging at The Invictus Games in February \u2013 reports have swirled that their estrangement from the Royal Family has put their marriage under pressure, with rumours only intensifying last year when the couple \u2018professionally\u2019 separated. <\/p>\n
And while recent reports have suggested that Harry is keen to finally extend an olive branch to his family and is encouraging Meghan to do the same, the source says this latest setback is another bump in the road for the pair. <\/p>\n
The insider says, \u2018There\u2019s a lot of second guessing and micro analysing going on right now. Both Harry and Meghan are at their wits end and it\u2019s taken a toll on their relationship, without a doubt.\u2019<\/p>\n
Sentebale was first found by Prince Harry in 2006 in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana and its mission is to help children with HIV across Lesotho and Botswana \u2013 a cause Diana was a huge supporter and champion of. <\/p>\n
And now this latest setback will undoubtedly be a huge blow for Prince Harry at a time when sources say King Charles\u2019 dash to hospital last week has left him feeling more estranged from his family than ever. <\/p>\n
Reports have suggested that Prince Harry may not have been made aware of his father\u2019s hospitalisation, and despite numerous UK trips, he is believed not to have seen his father for over a year. <\/p>\n
But the source says Harry felt like he was left with \u2018no choice\u2019 but to step down from Sentabale, with insiders adding that he is \u2018in total shock and feels like his finger\u2019s been cut off\u2019. <\/p>\n
The source says, \u2018Harry did not make his decision to resign from Sentebale lightly, he truly felt like there was no other choice. It became clear there was no way forward, so he made the difficult call to step down and speak out about it. <\/p>\n
\u2018He feels like he can\u2019t win no matter what he does because there are just so many people piling on and running with these baseless claims against him.\u2019<\/p>\n
