Meghan Markle To Lose Aide After Giving Birth Amid ‘Difficult Duchess’ Claims
Meghan Markle will reportedly lose another royal aide after she gives birth amid rumors that she’s difficult to work with.
Samantha Cohen, 50, who has served the royal family for 17 years, is set to leave sometime next year. The aide, who is also known as “Samantha the Panther,” is the second palace staff that has suddenly resigned. Cohen also served as one of Queen Elizabeth II’s communications secretary before she was assigned to work with Markle.
“Sam will be a huge loss. Going forward, Meghan might need someone cut from a slightly different cloth to traditional courtiers, who is not a career civil servant or royal insider,” a source told Daily Mail.
Markle’s personal assistant, Melissa Touabti, also quit her position just six months after the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s royal wedding. It was previously reported that Touabti left her job after being reduced to tears by Markle’s outrageous demands.
“Her job was highly pressurized and in the end, it became too much. She put up with quite a lot. Meghan put a lot of demands on her and it ended up with her in tears. She is hugely talented and played a pivotal role in the success of the royal wedding. She’ll be missed by everyone in the household,” a source told Mirror UK.
Last month, it was reported that Markle wakes up very early in the morning and sends out emails filled with requests to her staff at 5 a.m. It has also been claimed that the “Suits” alum requested for air fresheners at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle before her nuptials to get rid of the musty smell in the wedding venue.
Markle also made headlines after it was reported that she is opting for a home birth. Her desire to not give birth at St. Mary’s Hospital’s Lindo Wing grew after the facility scored a 2-out-of-5 in a mandatory government cleanliness test.
“Meghan will be ordering royal lackeys to get reports on the hygiene standards, and she’ll want to ensure everything is bleached to the highest standard. She is also considering bringing her own chef into the hospital to oversee the preparation of her food,” a source claimed.
