Bully or victim? The latest royal controversy surrounding Meghan Markle - Nine Shows

Workplace bullying is a serious issue, but what if your workplace was Buckingham Palace and you're a member of the royal family?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world when they told Oprah Winfrey in 2019 that Meghan had been subjected to racism and poor treatment.

But behind palace walls, allegations were emerging that others were suffering at the hands of the Duchess of Sussex.

"The palace - like every other large, medium-sized organisation - has got an HR department, but that deals with staff," The Times royal correspondent Valentine Low says.

"It doesn't deal with members of the royal family."

Several former members of Meghan's staff allege they were intimidated and belittled by her, some so severely they were forced to quit.

That remained a closely-guarded secret until the infamous Oprah interview tipped the bucket.

Angered, the staffers took their claims to Valentine, who exposed them to the world.

"There were women who worked for her who were absolutely broken by her," Low tells reporter Tom Steinfort.

"One person described to me how a member of staff was completely destroyed."

The palace deemed the allegations serious enough to warrant an inquiry, but has since announced none of the findings will be made public.

So what did they uncover? And who is the real victim?

This Sunday on 60 Minutes, British television host Trisha Goddard is adamant it's Meghan Markle.

"Can we just stop messing around and call this for what it is? It's bullying," she says.

Trisha believes the constant vitriol directed at the Duchess of Sussex is unwarranted and perpetuated by a very particular set of people.

"White, male, pale and stale," she says.

"It's the dinosaurs screaming."

But with the dust yet to settle on this latest royal drama, a new investigation could prove even more scandalous.

SUNDAY on 60 Minutes, is Meghan Markle a bully or victim? You decide.
