After a bombshell story accused Meghan Markle of bullying and mistreating her former royal aides while she and Prince Harry lived in the U.K. as the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, several of the former's actress' friends and co-star's came to her defense.
Markle's Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams, who played Markle's love interest on the show, was one of the first to defend her, calling her an "enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family."
Actress Abigail Spencer, who also worked on Suits with Markle, shared on Instagram, "I've learned so much from Meg. The power of a handwritten note. The loveliness of surprise flowers. That she has a perpetual Rolodex in her brain of recommendations for the heart, soul, and body."
It was earlier this month that The Times published a story that accused Markle of driving "two personal assistants out of the household" while "undermining the confidence of a third staff member."
According to Us Weekly, Buckingham Palace commented on the allegations and stated that they will "look into the circumstances outlined in the article" and "will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace."
A source claimed that the accusations were a "strike back at Harry and Meghan for doing the [tell-all] interview," referring to the television special with Oprah airing next week.
Prince Harry and Markle stepped down from their royal duties last year and are set to discuss the few last years of their lives in the U.K., and their decision to leave, in a 90-minute CBS special, with Orpah Winfrey.
Us Weekly claims that "nothing will be off-limits" during the special, which is set to air this Sunday, March 7th, 2021, at 8 p.m., on CBS.
