The royal family accused of having double standards
Meghan Markle was recently accused of bullying the royal staff when she was living with the family in the United Kingdom as a senior working Royal. One of the senior members of the staff said that he felt emotional cruelty and manipulation. Soon after, the Royal family ordered an investigation into the bullying. In the interview with Sky News, Carolyn Durand accused saying that they have double standards as they did not investigate Prince Andrews.
Prince Andrews was accused by a woman of having sex with her when she was just 17. She had mentioned that American financier Jeffrey Epstein had paid her money to sleep with the prince which was one of the three sexual encounters they have had in the past. However, the prince denied these allegations and said that he would step down from royal duties.
After that, the Royal family never ordered any investigation into these allegations made on him. Carolyn asked the reason behind Prince Harry's military honours being stripped when he stepped down from his Royal duties. She questioned them about Prince Andrew still having his military honours after such allegations.
