星期五，哈里王子和梅根·马克尔王子在圣塔芭芭拉的马球俱乐部被看到。今年春天，这是一个相当定期的事情，苏塞克斯人已经暂时始终如一，尽管我不确定这是否会继续下去，因为哈利的球队没有进入半决赛。

In other Sussex news though, this was the story on the weekend:

You will recall, the bullying allegationscame to light just days beforeHarry and Meghan’s Television Event of 2021 with Oprah Winfrey. It was suspect at the time because of the timing. Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace had no idea what Harry and Meghan would tell Oprah so the bullying claims seemed like a defense strike. Harry and Meghan vigorously denied the accusations and a few months later, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand reported in their book,Finding Freedom,这些指控实际上被废除了。显然，没有给出初始报告的能量。

Still, shortly after the bullying reports made headlines, it was announced that there would be an independent investigation conducted by an outside agency, which Meghan welcomed, even though she was not “invited to participate”. But now, apparently, the investigation has concluded and they’re not making it public. Per The Times:

“An investigation into claims that the Duchess of Sussex bullied members of her staff has led to Buckingham Palace “improving the policies and procedures” in its HR department, according to royal sources. However, the findings from the highly sensitive inquiry, which was paid for privately by the Queen and conducted by an independent law firm, will never be published.

据了解，他们将被保留在包裹中，以保护参加的人的隐私，并限制苏塞克斯人和宫殿之间的紧张局势。朝臣坚持认为，该调查于去年3月发起，不应在公开场合进行播放，以确保那些参加的人感到“舒适”。一些参与者对该报告“被埋葬”感到非常失望。

据了解，该调查直到最近才得出结论，但是那些参加的人还没有被告知其结果，这引起了不高兴。”

What…so NOW they’re trying to “limit tensions” between the Sussexes and the palace? That didn’t seem to be the priority when people deep inside the palace were leaking sh-t to the UK tabloids about Meghan’s alleged bridal dramas which also turned out to be not exactly how the British papers were characterising it.

And the bullying story actually backfired a few days later when Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview finally aired and we heard Meghan talking about her mental health struggles, how she begged the Human Resources department for help…only to be told that they could do nothing for her, that “there’s nothing we can do to protect you, because you’re not a paid employee of the institution”. Meghan at the time was having suicidal thoughts, she was in distress, the tabloids were attacking her relentlessly and racistly, and she put the Firm’s HR on blast for being useless…

Which might be an experience you share with her if you work for a major corporation – because as we know, corporate HR works for corporate, not for you. It’s the same with the corporation known as the British Royal Family.

要回到梅根（Meghan），她告诉奥普拉（Oprah），她有发送给人力资源的电子邮件，毫不奇怪，她保留了收据。他们知道她有收据。因此，如果他们对人力资源投诉进行某种调查，他们应该期望她可以用证据来对抗指控，以支持她的否认。当报纸由杰森·诺夫（Jason Knauf）协助时，她在对《每日邮报》的诉讼中所做的all kinds of documentationthat the court judged to be in direct contradiction to the Daily Mail and Jason Knauf’s claims against her. It's worth noting that Jason Knauf was also involved in this bullying story as he supposedly was the one who reported it. So if we’re talking about receipts and receipts that are related to Jason Knauf’s claims, we’ve seen before that Meghanhas been able to answer successfully。

看来,英国王室不want any receipts out there. More often than not these days, receipts don’t work in their favour. They certainly don’t work for Prince Andrew. So they’re doing as royals do, a familiar place for them – let’s just sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. They come out wrong and strong against Meghan, without any real specifics about how she actually was a bully, and now they’re all like, never mind, nothing to see here, we’re not talking about this anymore. Whatever, sure, we enabled the character assassination that was attempted on her last year but we’re over it now, no big deal.

So what exactly are they “burying”? Is it really that they want to mitigate any further attacks on Meghan (as IF) or is it that the evidence has exonerated her and they have to save face? Usually with this family, it’s door number two.
