Is Meghan Markle's 'difficult' behaviour driving away royal aides?

Why is Meghan Markle being nicknamed 'Duchess Difficult'?

Some British newspapers including The Express and The Sun claim royal staff members have given her the unflattering moniker because of how demanding she is.

The reports come as a second member of Meghan's staff prepares to quit. Samantha Cohen, who has acted as a trusted aide and private secretary to Meghan and Prince Harry, will leave her post in the spring after Meghan has her baby.

Royals expert Victoria Arbiter told Inside Edition that she disagreed that Cohen's departure has anything to do with a clash in their personalities.

"It seems like suddenly in the last few weeks, this reputation is building of Meghan being difficult," Arbiter said. "It's founded from absolutely nothing. It was said from day one that Samantha Cohen was only going to serve as the interim assistant to Harry and Meghan. She was never meant to stay any longer."

That doesn't appear to be stopping certain elements of the British press from making claims about the Duchess of Sussex.
