Buckingham Palace says it is looking into claims of bullying made by former staff members of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The Times newspaper’s reported allegations Meghan drove two assistants out of the household.

According to The Times, a former communications secretary claims she drove out two personal assistants.

One of her representatives has called it an "attack on her character" and says she's saddened by the claims.

A statement from the Palace said: "We are clearly very concerned about allegations in The Times following claims made by former staff of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"Accordingly our HR team will look into the circumstances outlined in the article. Members of staff involved at the time, including those who have left the Household, will be invited to participate to see if lessons can be learned.

"The Royal Household has had a Dignity at Work policy in place for a number of years and does not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace."
