Buckingham Palace has said it will investigate claims made by a former employee that Meghan Markle had bullied staff while working as a senior royal.
According to The Times, Jason Knauf, now the chief executive officer of the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, had raised concerns about Meghan with the palace HR team in October 2018.
However, nothing was taken forward.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, Buckingham 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."
The Times alleges that the complaint was made by Knauf in October 2018 and a source said Prince Harry asked him not to pursue it.

Meghan seems to be a nasty piece of work, I hope the Queen strips her of the ,''Duchess'', title they gave her !
