Upon their marriage in May 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — and "one of the most difficult of senior royal couples in modern royal history," according to a palace insider.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their wedding day, May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle.

"There were staff in the royal household complaining about the way Harry and Meghan were treating them," royal expert Richard Palmer told an outlet. "I've certainly spoken to people who have said that nothing they did for them was ever right – and there was always a massive inquest after every royal engagement that they did."

He added: "It would be: 'Why did we do this? Why did you say that?' I think it was really difficult for a lot of people."

Once they eloped, Harry and Meghan were both granted full and free, 24/7 protection from Scotland Yard, and their own official office and residence within Kensington Palace, complete with their own Sussex cipher. "Once a pair becomes a senior royal couple, an entire office with connections to the elected government's Foreign Office, collection of advisors, staff and servants, as well a country home, are all arranged for the newest set of royal diplomats for the U.K.," the insider added.

The news comes after the Duchess and Prince Harry's ex-private secretary, Samantha Cohen, revealed she was interviewed as part of the palace's investigation into the claims of torment.

One ex-staffer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex described working for them as 'a walking on egg shells nightmare.'

Harry and Meghan's former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, first complained about "abuse allegations" against the ex-Suits star not long after she became a royal duchess in May 2018.

Newly leaked emails about the investigations revealed that Knauf highlighted two members of KP's staff were "bullied out of the household," presumably by Meghan, who was then "targeting female members of staff," with one of these aides saying the thought of coming into a day's work with Meghan made her "feel sick" physically.

Both Meghan and Prince Harry have vehemently denied the allegations, and "especially double-downed" when Prince William formally approved the investigation after their Oprah interview in March 2021.

Although still entitled to deference as senior royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were booed by crowds on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral, June 3, 2022.

Cohen worked as a press advisor to the late Queen Elizabeth II for 17 years before being personally asked by the monarch to become Harry and Meghan's private secretary in June 2018. "I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 — we couldn't find a replacement for me and when we did, we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes, but they left as well while in Africa," she revealed to an outlet.

Royal author Valentine Low went on to write in his book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, that Cohen felt that she had been "treated harshly" by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and told others the job was "like working with teenagers."

Resigning around the time of the future Montecito residents' trip to Africa during the autumn of 2019 is "telling," according to a royal insider.
