Wills’s horror at claim Meg ‘bullied staff’

- By Emily Andrews

THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were said to be ‘horrified’ when they heard that complaints of bullying had been made about the Duchess of Sussex.

Prince William has chosen to stand by members of staff who had previously left their jobs with Harry and Meghan.

Jason Knauf, who raised Meghan’s allegedly ‘unacceptab­le’ behaviour towards staff in an email, now heads the Cambridge’s Royal Foundation.

Meghan has denied the bullying allegation.

William is not expected to meet his brother until they unveil a statue of their mother, Princess Diana, in the summer.

The brothers have been planning and overseeing the design of the statue for years and insiders believe they will set aside any difference­s for the event.

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex extended the wedding invitation to Oprah Winfrey to include the evening reception at Frogmore House, attended only by their closest relatives and friends. The chat show host had been invited to the ceremony at St George’s Chapel, inside Windsor Castle, despite only having apparently met Meghan face-toface once.

It is not thought she had ever met Harry in person.

All 800 guests were invited to enjoy a ‘wedding breakfast’ in the Great Hall of Windsor Castle after the ceremony, but only 200 guests were invited to a sit-down dinner in the grounds of Frogmore House that evening, paid for by Prince Charles. Harry and Meghan reportedly split the guest list ‘100 each’.

The Duchess is understood to have used her quota to include Oprah in the evening’s invitation.

Harry l eft many of his old friends off the guest-list, including Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip and wife Lara, and his step-brother Tom Parker Bowles and step- sister Laura Lopes.

Meghan, meanwhile, included on her evening guest list George and Amal Clooney, Idris Elba and Channel 4 vet Noel Fitzpatric­k, who had looked after her rescue dog, Guy.
