Harry and Meghan’s 25-page rebuttal of bullying claims: Prince rails against royal staff ‘lies’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a 25-page report to refute claims she had bullied members of staff in the royal household.
The Sussexes forcefully hit back at accusations that Meghan had driven two assistants out of their jobs with her behaviour, with staff accusing the Duchess of screaming at them and contacting them on their evenings off.
The allegations, which were initially reported to human resources by Prince Harry and Prince Williams’ joint press secretary, sparked a review by Buckingham Palace.
Now Harry has used his new memoir, Spare, to rail against the claims, calling them a ‘lie’ and saying that he and Meghan provided a report ‘full of evidence’ to prove this.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrive at the long walk in Windsor Castle after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Harry has hit back at claims his wife bullied members of the royal household
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrive with Prince William at a service to mark the centenary of the RAF at Westminster Abbey. Prince Harry says he and his wife produced a 25-page report refuting the bullying claims
The final report by the Palace was kept private to protect those taking part, but Harry makes reference to it being part of a media agenda against him and his wife.
The Telegraph reports he writes in a section of the book: ‘It was so outrageous that even though Meg and I demonstrated their lie with a 25-page report to human resources full of evidence, it was going to be very hard for me to ignore it.’
The claims were made in 2018 when press secretary Jason Knauf sent an email to his boss Simon Case claiming that the treatment of one member of staff by Meghan was ‘totally unacceptable’.
The Times reported told Case, who was Prince Williams’ private secretary and is now cabinet secretary: ‘I am very concerned that the Duchess was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year. The treatment of X* was totally unacceptable.’
He added: ‘The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights. She is bullying Y and seeking to undermine her confidence. We have had report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable behaviour towards Y.’
Mr Knauf spent seven years working for the royal family, including spending time as the Princes’ press officer, special adviser to William and Kate, and chief executive of the Royal Foundation.
He was made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order in the New Years’ Honours, something unlikely to have gone down well with the Sussexes.
In his book, which was released in Spain nearly a week before its official publication date, Harry claims his wife was unfairly depicted as a ‘tyrant’.

The Duke of Sussex’s memoir, titled Spare, is being released in the UK on January 10
The Duke claimed the personal offices of the princes made it easy for the press to attack them, and that when he tried to explain his point of view to William the conversation morphed into an argument about his interview with Oprah.
In their Netflix documentary released in December, the Sussexes said claims Meghan had sometimes reduced royal staff to tears were part of a ‘calculated smear campaign’ in response to the interview.
James Holt, executive director of Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation, told Netflix: ‘The timing of the bullying story has even been admitted by the journalist that wrote it that it was done explicitly because of the Oprah interview.’
Valentine Low, who broke the story for the Times, said the victims of the alleged bullying ‘wanted to get their story out before the Oprah interview’ otherwise ‘their complaints would be lost in the noise’.
In an interview to publicise his memoir, Harry told CBS’s Anderson Cooper he believed people with the Palace had been ‘betraying’ him and his wife by ‘planting stories’ about them in the press.
In a teaser for the interview, which will air tonight in the United States, the Duke of Sussex defended himself from public criticism of their decision to publicly blast the royal family.
He insisted he has ‘tried to do this privately’ but that ‘every single time I’ve tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife’.
In the memoir Harry claims while discussing the Oprah interview his brother ‘lunged’ at him and grabbed his shirt, before invoking the memory of their mother, Diana.
The Duke said William got heated during a walk after the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip, in April 2021.
Harry claims was trying to address bullying allegations made against Meghan, but his father and brother ‘weren’t listening.’
The dispute broke out as Harry, William and Charles were reportedly discussing the interview he and Meghan Markle gave to Oprah the month before. The Sussexes are picture during the interview
In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, now the Prince of Wales, which he claims left him with visible injuries
The California-based royal went on to allege that William was ‘really steaming’ and grasped at him as he tried to walk away.
‘I waved a hand, disgusted, but he lunged, grabbed my shirt. ‘Listen to me, Harold,” Harry wrote in his book, according to The Sun.
‘I pulled away, refused to meet his gaze. He forced me to look into his eyes. ‘Listen to me, Harold, listen! I love you, Harold! I want you to be happy.”
Harry claims he replied: ‘I love you too…but your stubbornness is extraordinary!’
The Duke reportedly tried to pull away, but William allegedly ‘grabbed him again’ and ‘twisted him’ so the pair could maintain eye contact.
William then evoked the brother’s so-called ‘secret code’ and swore on Princess Diana’s life that his intentions were genuine, Harry penned.
He writes that William said: ‘Harold, you must listen to me! I just want you to be happy, Harold. I swear I swear on Mummy’s life.’
Harry continued: ‘He stopped. I stopped. Pa stopped. He’d gone there.
‘He’d used the secret code, the universal password. Ever since we were boys those three words were to be used only in times of extreme crisis.’
The Duke claimed his brother ‘wasn’t quite ready to accept defeat’ and claimed to be ‘properly sick and ill’ over the tensions between the pair.
William allegedly reiterated: ‘I swear to you now on Mummy’s life that I just want you to be happy’.
Harry claims his ‘voice broke’ and he ‘softly’ told William: ‘I really don’t think you do.’
The elder brother then allegedly hugged Harry and said: ‘I love you’.
MailOnline has approached representatives for William and Harry for comment.
Gavin Williamson, UK minister, resigns from post following bullying allegations
London
CNN
—
British cabinet office minister Gavin Williamson resigned from his role on Tuesday following recent allegations of bullying, saying the accusations against him were “becoming a distraction for the good work this government is doing.”
“As you know, there is an ongoing complaints process concerning text messages I sent to a colleague,” Williamson said in his resignation letter, addressed to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
“I am complying with this process and I have apologized to the recipient for those messages. Since then, there have been other allegations made about my past conduct. I refute the characterization of these claims, but I recognize these are becoming a distraction for the good work this government is doing for the British people,” he added in the letter.
“I have therefore decided to step back from government so that I can comply fully with the complaints process that is underway and clear my name of any wrongdoing,” Williamson said.
Sunak accepted his resignation “with great sadness,” according to PA news agency. “I would like to thank you for your personal support and loyalty,” Sunak said.
Williamson’s current stint in government only lasted for 14 days. Considered a close Sunak ally, Williamson had faced growing calls to quit following bullying allegations.
Former deputy chief whip Anne Milton described Williamson’s conduct five years ago, when he was the chief whip, as “threatening” and “intimidating,” in an interview with Channel 4 news released on Tuesday.
Milton, who worked alongside Williamson in the whip’s office – which enforces party discipline – also described his behavior as “unethical and immoral.”
“I got the impression that he loved salacious gossip and would use it as leverage against MPs if the need arose,” Milton told broadcaster.
Williamson has not yet publicly reacted to Milton’s claims. CNN has reached out to the lawmaker for comment.
The Conservative Party lawmaker was previously fired from his post as defense minister in 2019 by then-Prime Minister Theresa May over the leaking of a key decision related to the Chinese telecoms giant Huawei.
May’s decision followed an inquiry into how the Daily Telegraph newspaper discovered that the UK government was preparing to give Huawei access to parts of the country’s 5G mobile network. Williamson at the time “strenuously” denied he was the source of the leak, in a letter posted to his Twitter account.
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson later appointed him as Secretary of State for Education, an ill-fated brief which saw Williamson preside over a controversial exam grading algorithm during the Covid-19 pandemic, as testing could not take place. The grading system was scrapped after widespread anger from parents, students and educators.
Williamson also made waves by appearing to confuse two major Black British sports stars, telling an interviewer he had spoken to Manchester United soccer player Marcus Rashford – who has been campaigning for free school meals for children in need during the pandemic – when in fact he had met with rugby player Maro Itoje.
Johnson removed him from the role in 2021 during a cabinet reshuffle.
Williamson is also a former ex-chief whip, and before his resignation Tuesday, held a position as Minister without Portfolio in Sunak’s government.
Boston Bruins rescind contract with Mitchell Miller after NHL deems him ineligible to play in league
CNN
—
The Boston Bruins rescinded their contract with Mitchell Miller Sunday after the National Hockey League deemed him ineligible to join the team due to a bullying incident the player participated in when he was a young teenager.
The decision is effective immediately, just days after the Bruins signed Miller to an entry-level contract on Friday. The about-face comes after the revelation of new information apparently related to bullying, which at some point led to serious consequences when the player was in school.
Miller at 14 was convicted in a bullying incident where he and another teenager were accused of tricking their Black classmate Isaiah Meyers-Crothers into eating candy that had been placed in a urinal, a report from the Arizona Republic revealed.
Miller and another teen admitted to the bullying in an Ohio juvenile court and were sentenced to community service, according to the Republic.
In explaining the decision to sign the now 20-year-old Miller in the first place, Boston Bruins president Cam Neely said the team had carefully considered the facts as they were aware of them, “that at 14-years-old he made a poor decision that led to a juvenile conviction.”
“We understood this to be an isolated incident and that he had taken meaningful action to reform and was committed to ongoing personal development. Based on that understanding we offered him a contract,” Neely said.
After new information came to light, the team decided it was in its best interest to rescind the opportunity. The team’s statement did not detail that information.
“We hope that he continues to work with professionals and programs to further his education and personal growth,” Neely said.
Neely also apologized to Meyers-Crothers and his family for the signing as well as to the members of the organization, fans, partners and the community.
“To Isaiah and his family, my deepest apologies if this signing made you and other victims feel unseen and unheard. We apologize for the deep hurt and impact we have caused,” Neely said. “We will continue to stand against bullying and racism in all of its forms.”
Neely added, “Finally, as a father, I think there is a lesson to be learned here for other young people. Be mindful of careless behaviors and going with the group mentality of hurting others. The repercussions can be felt for a lifetime.”
On Saturday, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the Bruins did not consult the league before signing Miller, calling what Miller did as a 14-year-old “reprehensible” and “unacceptable.”
“He’s not coming into the NHL. He’s not eligible at this point to come into the NHL. I can’t tell you that he’ll ever be eligible to come into the NHL,” said Bettman while speaking at the NHL Global Series in Tampere, Finland.
“So the answer is they were free to sign him to play somewhere else, that’s another league’s issue, but nobody should think at this point he is or may ever be NHL eligible. And the Bruins understand that now,” Bettman added.
The Arizona Coyotes drafted him in 2020, and the team later withdrew its rights after the Republic’s report revealed the bullying conviction.
CNN has reached out to Miller’s representation for comment and did not immediately hear back.
When the Bruins initially signed Miller, the team provided a statement from the player in which he said, “When I was in eighth grade, I made an extremely poor decision and acted very immaturely.”
“I deeply regret the incident and have apologized to the individual. Since the incident, I have come to better understand the far-reaching consequences of my actions that I failed to recognize and understand nearly seven years ago,” he said. “To be clear, what I did when I was 14 years old was wrong and unacceptable. There is no place in this world for being disrespectful to others and I pledge to use this opportunity to speak out against mistreating others.”
Bruins’ Mitchell Miller signing ‘stunned’ bullying victim’s family — mother says son ‘not doing well’ after the news
TORONTO — On Saturday at Scotiabank Arena, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and Nick Foligno made it clear they do not endorse their employer’s signing of Mitchell Miller. Joni Meyer-Crothers, mother of Isaiah, the victim of Miller’s bullying and racist comments, heard those statements.
“I was very impressed with what they said. Extremely impressed,” Meyer-Crothers told The Athletic. “That definitely gave us comfort.”
It was a breath of relief in what Meyer-Crothers termed a whirlwind since the Bruins signed Miller to an NHL entry-level contract on Friday. She never believed the day would come.
“We were totally blindsided,” said Meyer-Crothers of herself, husband Jamie Crothers and her family. “I never thought an NHL team would sign him. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that. I was just stunned.”
Meyer-Crothers read the Bruins’ press release. She saw how general manager Don Sweeney explained the signing. Sweeney noted how Miller’s offensive style gave him NHL potential.
“It’s sad in that Mitchell and his family think his career trumps being a good person? That’s kind of the message the Bruins are sending out too — that talent trumps what you do,” said Meyer-Crothers. “I can’t say it enough. We want Mitchell to get the help that he needs. Because he needs help, too. So we’re not against that, at all. But it’s a privilege to play hockey. Maybe he should have been rehabilitated, and then re-focused and re-looked at to play hockey after he truly was rehabilitated and understood the magnitude of what he’s done to our son.”
As much as Meyer-Crothers appreciated what the Bruins’ players said, she has not heard directly from anybody from the Bruins, either before or after the signing. (The Athletic reached out to the Bruins for comment on this without response.)
If she had heard from them, Meyer-Crothers said she would have described how Isaiah and her family are still dealing with the aftermath of Miller’s repeated mistreatment. She described Isaiah as “not doing well at all” following Friday’s news of Miller’s signing.
“Every time this is brought up, it puts him right back to where he was,” said Meyer-Crothers of her adopted son. “To sit at the table with Mitchell in seventh grade, he had to say he was his N-word, or he had to sit by himself at the lunch room. It’s all this stuff that keeps replaying in his mind all the time. That he’s not of value. That his life doesn’t matter. He was told his Black mom and dad didn’t love him; that’s why he has White parents. Imagine the identity problems that Isaiah’s dealing with.
“He was already behind the eight-ball because he had fetal alcohol syndrome and drug exposure. So cognitively, he’s already behind. Then you’re adding this stuff on to a kid that just wants to have friends. Because he already knows he’s not functioning like the other kids. He was tormented. That’s where I’m struggling.”
After hearing Bergeron, Marchand and Foligno speak, Meyer-Crothers said she would welcome the players to their home. She would explain how Miller’s mistreatment affected Isaiah and her family. She would share the reports she has received on Isaiah’s mental health.
Meyer-Crothers said she is not interested in speaking with Sweeney because of how he explained the situation.
“No, I wouldn’t want to speak to him. No,” Meyer-Crothers said. “He made it known that it didn’t really matter what we had to say.”
Both Meyer-Crothers and Crothers also said they do not want to speak to Miller. According to Crothers, Miller reached out to Isaiah on social media approximately a week and a half ago.
“This has been something every time when Mitchell turns around and tries to get on to another hockey team,” Crothers said. “Last year, it was his USHL team. Being drafted by Arizona. Every time this comes up, everybody reaches out to us and to him. This is like the third or fourth time we’ve been through this circus, all over the same situation. Every time, Mitchell has chosen never to reach out and apologize.
“The only time he sought Isaiah out to apologize to him was about a week and a half ago when Boston told him, ‘We’re not signing you unless you apologize.’ So then he decided, ‘Hey, I better get ahold of Isaiah and apologize.’ At that point, he was sorry, but it wasn’t hockey-related. He told Isaiah specifically that he was sorry, that this was not hockey-related, he just really wanted to help kids in a similar situation. That’s why he was reaching out. He tried to sit down with Isaiah and tell him he was sorry, but it was all because of this, because of being signed by Boston. It was about hockey. It wasn’t about kids. It wasn’t about being sorry. It was about his hockey. So it’s empty.”
Crothers and Meyer-Crothers are unhappy with Miller. They are also dissatisfied with the Bruins for how, in their Friday press release, they did not acknowledge Miller’s repeated harassment.

“The biggest thing people need to know is it’s not a one-time thing,” Meyer-Crothers said. “It was years and years and years of abuse and torment. Our son is an emotional mess at the hands of Mitchell. I’m so thankful the organization wants to help Mitchell. But you’re forgetting that there’s a victim that is traumatized for the rest of his life. What are we doing for him? Because he doesn’t have a hockey talent, his life isn’t as significant? That’s how we kind of feel.
“They keep using the word mistake. He made a ‘mistake’ when he was 14. My problem with Sweeney and with Mitchell is, let’s call it what it was. It was years of abuse. It wasn’t one time. A mistake is maybe something stupid. But what he did really is a lot more. It was premeditated.”
Meyer-Crothers concluded the interview with a final statement.
“Isaiah is just victimized over and over again because Mitchell’s a good hockey player,” she said. “So it’s like you don’t have to show that you’ve grown and you’re remorseful because you’re a good hockey player, so that trumps everything Isaiah’s went through. So it minimizes what Isaiah’s went through and makes him feel like he went through everything in vain. That his life doesn’t matter. And his life does matter. His life matters significantly.”

Boston Bruins sign Mitchell Miller despite conviction of assault on black classmate
The Boston Bruins signed a controversial 20-year-old defenseman, who was convicted of assaulting a black, disabled high school classmate, to an entry-level contract on Friday.
Mitchell Miller, who was 14 at the time of the 2016 bullying scandal, tricked Isaiah Meyer-Crothers, into licking a candy push pop that was wiped in a bathroom urinal, resulting in Meyer-Crothers testing for hepatitis, HIV, and STDs.
Miller was also accused of calling 14-year-old Meyer-Crothers “brownie” and the “N-word” while repeatedly beating him during their childhood in Toledo, Ohio, according to the Arizona Republic.
Bruins General Manager Cam Neely released a statement about Miller’s signing.
“Representing the Boston Bruins is a privilege we take seriously as an organization,” Neely said.
“Mitchell was accountable for his unacceptable behavior and demonstrated his commitment to work with multiple organizations and professionals to further his education and use his mistake as a teachable moment for others.”
Mitchell said in the same statement released by the Bruins he would continue to educate himself and share his mistakes with others while playing for the organization.
Originally drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in 2020, Miller has yet to play in the NHL.
The team cut ties with Miller weeks later, along with The University of North Dakota, where the young defenseman played college hockey after scrutiny from the public and media.
Miller spent the past two seasons in the USHL before he signed with the Bruins. The team reportedly evaluated Miller for several weeks.
On Friday, in an interview with CBS Boston News, Joni Meyer-Crothers, the mother of Isaiah, said Miller had reached out to her son on Instagram a week before the Bruins’ signing to apologize to him for the first time ever.
“About a week and a half ago, Mitchell reached out to our son on Instagram to tell him that he was sorry and that it most definitely wasn’t ‘hockey-related.’”
