The Duchess of Sussex has previously been accused of bullying staff members during her time as a working royal

A royal expert has revealed that it may be a "cultural difference" that led to the Meghan Markle bullying claims.

The duchess has previously been accused of bullying staff members during her time as a working royal before she and her husband stepped down from their positions.

Michael Cole, former royal reporter for the BBC said: explained: "Do you know what I think it is? It's a cultural difference in this country.

"We tend to say, if we're talking to the waiter or somebody serving us in the shop, may I have or could I possibly have something?

"In America, they say can I get a cheeseburger? It's so very different."

"That is absolutely accentuated in Hollywood where people are given orders, particularly if you're the sixth person on the call sheet in a show called Suits."

He added: "There's none of the civility, none of the politeness, none of the things that we take for granted in this country or certainly used to.

"When you have to struggle to the top in Hollywood, you can bet your life you've had to tread on a few fingers on the way there. That has been accentuated by, I think, a lack of understanding."
