Buckingham Palace Human Resources Investigation

[Curryong]

Watch it being leaked not sooner not later, with patience when necessary

Well, if BP want to break privacy laws, (and it will be quite obvious from where any leaks come) then so be it. However they seem to believe in being seen to take the high moral ground in everything so we will see, won?t we?

There?s no privacy law in this matter. The Queen  paid for the investigation and there are 5 victims angry it won?t be made public.

It?s already been explained a thousand times via statements from BP that the focus of the investigation wasn?t going to be the Sussexes but recommendations about procedural HR in the future. It has never been announced who was spoken to or why in the course of this investigation. Five people, twenty five, fifty, eighty. There could have been dozens of Palace staffers complaining about the way Sir Humphrey So and So, the Hon Primrose Styles-Google and superior Mr Joe Bloggs BEM  spoke to them in the past. 

And if privacy doesn?t matter then everybody concerned should come forward and say their piece. They won?t, because everybody?s complaints were taken in camera and under privacy/confidentiality clauses. To protect them as well as the persons they may have been complaining about.

Just in case anyone forgets here's Valentine Low in his own words talking about the bullying claims:

Nothing is likely to publish anything in full ever because, as I stated in a former post, things about Palace senior staff and courtiers? behaviour may be there for all to read. If anything was alleged about Meghan then the Sussexes would be able to say, with some justification, ?Then why weren?t we called before this Inquiry to answer these accusations? Why weren?t we allowed the chance to rebut them??

It was felt by Palace advisers that procedures (including future complaints about members of the RF and courtiers) had to be clearly set out, and so it was felt that it was easier all round to ask for a wide ranging inquiry to change matters.

As for Valentine Low, he obeyed Palace instructions to fire his cannon in The Times in the hope that the revelations about Meghan being a bully published just before the Oprah interview would destroy the Sussexes. It didn?t.

On another Meghan subject I remember Low stating months earlier when the couple had just departed the UK, that he?d heard from within the Palace that Meghan had been ?in a very bad state? emotionally (backing up her assertion in that interview that she was suicidal) but that he didn?t know all the details.

Palace must reject Harry and Meghan ?lies?, says former aide | News | The Times

A former Buckingham Palace employee who claims they were bullied by the Duchess of Sussex has called on the palace to hit back at the allegations that are expected to be made in the Sussexes? Netflix series Harry & Meghan.
The former employee, who is one of many members of staff bound by a confidentiality agreement, said: ?The only way to end it once for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the palace to firmly reject their lies.?
The six-part documentary series, which is released in part tomorrow, contains serious allegations against the royal household, including claims that the palace leaked and planted stories.
There are also claims, highlighted in a trailer that was released earlier this week, that the attacks on the duchess were motivated by racism. Some palace insiders were ?seething with rage? at the allegations, according to one source.
However, one unanswered question is how the documentary will address the allegations ? first reported in The Times ? that the duchess bullied members of staff. A review of the allegations was conducted by an independent law firm, but Buckingham Palace refused to publish the results.
The Sussexes have denied any allegations that the duchess bullied staff.?It?s emotionally draining,? they said. ?It feels like there?s no end to it.?
The former employee called on the palace to ?step up? by lifting all the non-disclosure agreements, and said they should ?publicly respond to [the Sussexes?] attacks?.
Buckingham Palace has maintained a strict policy of not responding to the advance material from the series, saying that they want to concentrate on the royal family?s engagements this week.
It remains uncertain whether they will make any official response to the series, although that may change if the allegations are serious enough.
After the duke and duchess?s interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, in which they implied that an unnamed member of the royal family was racist, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying: ?Some recollections may vary.?
In the latest Netflix trailer, Harry says: ?No-one knows the full truth? We know the full truth.?
The former employee said: ?They always use vague terms ?the truth?, ?my truth?, but nothing concrete is said.?
Instead the duchess uses people like the journalist Omid Scobie to convey her narrative that some people within the palace were racist, the former employee believes.
The palace declined to comment, but it is understood that they are ?monitoring events closely? and do not believe there is any point saying anything until they have seen the programme.
The former employee also believes that Meghan has been trying to push other former Palace employees into breaking their confidentiality agreements so they can be taken to court.
?Valentine Low: Prince Harry and Meghan have declared all-out war against the royal family
?She knows we can?t financially protect ourselves by going to court, so she keeps pushing.
?It?s all a game for her. And she is loving it.?
While the former employee is mistaken in thinking that the duchess could take them to court ? in the event of a breach of the agreement, it would be the palace who could sue, not Meghan ? their fear of legal action remains real.They added: ?I certainly have chosen to remain silent out of respect for the crown, but if they keep attacking us and our characters, reputation etc. we need to feel we are equally supported by the royal family.?
Other former employees who worked for the Sussexes have also questioned the narrative being put out by Netflix. One pointed to the scenes of frenzied media activity in the trailer that have been revealed as relating to Katie Price rather than the duke and duchess. They said: ?She never confronted scenes where she was mobbed because we did so much to protect her? so they?ve had to make them up!?
That included a statement released shortly after she was revealed as Harry?s girlfriend in which the palace made robust criticism of media harassment, as well as legal complaints and complaints to the media watchdog IPSO.
The source added that coverage of Meghan was overwhelmingly positive until her father Thomas Markle, who failed to attend the couple?s wedding after colluding with fake paparazzi photographs, started turning the media narrative against her. ?It will be interesting to see how her own family is referenced in their movie. It was glowing coverage until her own father started his campaign.?

If this former employee feels threatened then she should keep on expressing her concerns to the senior courtiers at BP. It wasn?t Meghan or Harry who insisted on confidentiality agreements for office and personal staff who work for the RF. And it certainly wasn?t the Sussexes who set up the terms of or procedures for the legal Inquiry that took place.

I remain convinced that the full exposure of the findings of that Inquiry will not be published in the lifetimes of the present King and the next one, not only because two of the witnesses at least were senior staffers at KP like Jason K who was an aide and Sec  to William but partly because the behaviour of senior courtiers and others at BP might be shown as less than honourable or glowing. The terms of that Inquiry, remember, did not just encompass the Sussexes, but other members of the Royal Family and Household who may have lost their temper and/or bullied or unfairly blamed others for mistakes made.

Which is why I believe that the information will not go public until long after those royals are deceased.
