Duke of Sussex calls Meghan the 'ideal boss' and continues to defend her character
Prince Harry has once again stepped up to defend Meghan Markle as the couple faces persistent scrutiny and backlash. Despite relentless criticism, the Duke of Sussex remains a vocal supporter of his wife, refuting allegations and targeting against the Duchess.
The latest wave of criticism followed a Vanity Fair feature that explored their life in Montecito and included claims from former staff members alleging they needed "long-term therapy" after working for Meghan.
Amid the backlash, Harry praised Meghan as the “ideal boss,” countering the accusations with examples of her thoughtfulness and kindness. In his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry detailed Meghan’s treatment of her staff during their time as working royals, writing, “She sent out handwritten thank-you notes, checked on staff who were ill, sent baskets of food and flowers or goodies to anyone struggling, depressed, or off sick.”
Harry’s unwavering support for Meghan highlights his dedication to shielding her from criticism, even at the cost of straining his relationship with the Royal Family. He has often prioritized Meghan over royal relatives, a choice that has sparked tension within the Firm.
Meanwhile, Harry’s decision to settle his legal case against News Group Newspapers (NGN) out of court has drawn praise for avoiding a public airing of royal controversies. According to commentators, the settlement likely spared King Charles and senior royal advisers from further embarrassment.
Harry’s actions reaffirm his loyalty to Meghan and his commitment to defending her character, emphasizing their united front despite ongoing public and familial challenges.
