The royal couple's Montecito neighbors have also criticized Prince Harry and Meghan over the alleged disturbance caused by tourists and speeding cars around their $29 million home.

U Vanity Fair's February cover storyMeghan has been described as a nurturing figure who makes Harry's life "so easy" as he plays the role of "facilitator" to support her wishes.

A source close to the couple mentioned, "I can imagine him meeting Meghan and just taking a deep breath, like, 'I'm so exhausted and you're making it easy.'"

"I don't want to be like, oh, it's an Oedipus thing or whatever, but it kind of feels like she's re-educating him in a way," they added.

The article also discusses Harry's fears of history repeating itself, particularly after the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, and his intensely protective relationship with Meghan amid media scrutiny.

The source went on to note that Harry has limited social interactions outside of his immediate family, describing him as "socially abandoned outside of his nuclear family."

A separate source who worked with Meghan revealed that the Duchess "has been open about the fact that Harry hasn't made many friends yet," adding: "I think he probably wants to be left alone."

The explosive article reveals a growing backlash against Harry and Meghan, as former colleagues and neighbors openly voice their frustrations.

Wealthy residents of Montecito, where the couple live in a $29 million mansion, expressed their displeasure at the disruption in their once quiet neighborhood, which has turned into a noisy hub for tourists and fast cars.

After buying their luxury home from an oligarch, the couple became known as "local villains" in this luxurious California enclave.

One frustrated neighbor remarked, "They moved out of England to escape the scrutiny of the press and all they do is try to get into the press in the United States."

The article also revealed troubling accounts from former staff members who worked on Meghan's "Archetypes" podcast. Staff reportedly sought "long-term therapy" after staying with the Duchess of Sussex.

One source described Meghan as a strategic figure who constantly played "checkers," suggesting a keen awareness of her surroundings but without the complexity of chess.

The source went on to claim that Meghan had a tendency to discard people who were no longer useful to her, leaving them vulnerable, describing it as "being thrown to the wolves at all times".

In addition, the report noted that some employees needed "longer breaks from work" after working with Meghan.

Another source said: "I think her perception could be better if Meghan acknowledged her own shortcomings or personal contribution to situations rather than being trapped in the victim narrative."

According to Bloombergwhen the couple first signed to Spotify, Harry expressed interest in hosting a podcast series interviewing influential men with complex stories.

The Duke was particularly fascinated by how these men's personal experiences shaped them into sociopaths, a source familiar with their audio projects revealed.

Almost two years later, Meghan launched her own podcast, "Archetypes," which focused on empowering women and deconstructing gender stereotypes. Episodes explored themes such as "diva" with Mariah Carey and "bimbo" with Paris Hilton and Iliza Shlesinger.

"Archetypes" debuted on August 23, 2022, but by June 2023, Spotify and Archewell Audio mutually agreed to end their partnership.

Said a source who claims to have worked with Harry and Meghan Vanity Fair the couple decided to do a podcast "because they knew celebrities were doing them," but when it came down to it, the couple "didn't do what celebrities do on podcasts, which is turn on the mic and talk. They wanted a big topic that would explain the world, but they had no ideas."

Harry and Meghan have been called out by Spotify's chief executive after their contract with the company fell apart, calling the pair "freaking frauds".

The Duchess reportedly asked to book big names for her podcast, notably Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Meghan Thea Stallion, however they are said to have declined her invitation.

A media industry insider who has read reports of Meghan allegedly "bullying" palace aides expressed skepticism about the claims.

However, according to Vanity Fairthe individual changed his mind after working with the duchess, thinking, "Oh, any Tuesday, this happened."

Another person who has had professional dealings with Meghan also took note of her allegedly mean behavior, saying: "You can get yelled at even if someone doesn't raise their voice."

They added: "It's funny how people don't differentiate between the energy of you being yelled at and literally someone yelling at you."
