On Wednesday, June 29, Buckingham Palace announced that the results of the bullying accusations have been concluded, even though the results will not be made publicly available. Since then, there’s been rumors that the bullied staffs will be coming forward to tell their story.
As Meghan continues talking about her short-lived time in the Royal Family, will the staffs she allegedly mistreated be allowed to come forward to tell their stories?
Could Meghan Markle’s Former Staff Speak Out Against Her Under Whistleblowing Rules
Royal aides are always asked to keep the privacy of the Royal Family by signing confidential documents upon becoming a part of the royal fold. The things they learn during the course of their jobs will remain private even after they’ve left the position.
But employment laws about whistleblowing can see these policies overturned.
Per a report published by the Daily Telegraph, whistleblowers must act in the public interest, but are protected when raising concerns about significant incidents occurring in the past, according to the law in the UK.
Exempting from these rules is the senior staff, including Private Secretaries, who is known to be subject to stricter confidentiality agreement.
The staffs who made bullying accusations against Meghan, 41, are yet to speak out in public or on the record.
Meghan, on the other hand, has denied the bullying accusations several times, saying that the palace was “perpetuating falsehoods”.
Later on, Meghan will go on to tell The Cut that she “never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking. I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.”
