0:00It's April 22nd, this is entertainment and celebrity news. Today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about, reports are piling up about Megan Markle running a tough ship with her staff, leading to sky high turnover rates for her and Prince Harry. Ex employees describe working for the Duchess as straight up draining, with multiple quits and recent years from key roles at their archwell. Foundation A fresh video from their Australia trip this month went viral, catching Megan giving what looks like an icy glare to her chief of staff while smiling for the cameras. Sources say this kind of two-phase vibe is her signature move behind the scenes. Staffers have opened up about the toll it takes, with some saying it triggers bad flashbacks and even requiring therapy afterward. She's picked up the nickname Duchess Difficult since tying the knot back in 2018, thanks to tales of her being relentless and dismissive. Just last year, their chief communications officer bounced after only one year on the job, and a longtime exec director headed back to the UK.

1:02Outlets like the Hollywood Reporter have called her out as a dictator type, who belittles folks and ignores advice. All this chatter keeps the spotlight on their operation, showing how staff's shakeups might slow down their big plans moving forward.
