Meghan Markle and Prince Harry deny 'distressing' Vanity Fair claims as Sharon Stone shares insights

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly described allegations of difficult behavior towards their staff, highlighted in a Vanity Fair article titled *American Hustle*, as "distressing." The article claimed Meghan could be "really, really awful" when things didn’t go her way.

Sources cited by the magazine alleged Meghan was initially warm to employees but could become "cold and withholding" toward those she held responsible for issues. One insider claimed the couple’s demands often caused problems. However, a source stated their marriage remains strong, saying, "their love is real," and they are still "hot for each other."

The Times reported that sources close to the couple called the allegations "distressing," while The Daily Beast quoted an insider saying the Vanity Fair piece worsened an already challenging time for the Sussexes. Meghan’s Netflix project is delayed, and Harry is in the UK for a legal case.

Meanwhile, Sharon Stone’s past comments resurfaced in *Hello!* magazine, where she praised the couple as caring neighbors, saying, "They came here to be a part of our community... a giving, caring, participating part."

Vanity Fair painted Harry as well-meaning but prone to "crazy" ideas, such as a podcast interviewing figures like Vladimir Putin. Meghan, 43, was described as a demanding boss, with one source saying her behavior matched claims of bullying, calling the Archetypes podcast experience "really, really awful" and "very painful." Some staff reportedly nicknamed her "a Mean Girls teenager."
