Meghan Markle was in the early stages of her pregnancy with Prince Archie when she and Prince Harry travelled to Fiji, where the incident allegedly took place.

A pregnant Meghan Markle reportedly “turned and hissed” at one of her members of staff, leaving them in “tears” according to a royal correspondent who joined Meghan and Prince Harry on their royal tour.

The couple, who had married just a few months previously, embarked on a tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji in the autumn of 2018, but it was at an event in Fiji where things turned sour.

Rebecca English of the Daily Mail recalled: “I was there at the time and witnessed Meghan turn and ‘hiss’ at a member of her entourage, clearly incandescent with rage about something, and demand to leave.

“I later saw that same — female — highly distressed member of staff sitting in an official car, with tears running down her face. Our eyes met and she lowered hers, humiliation etched on her features.”

According to The Sun the reason for Meghan’s anger was that a group called UN Women was present at a market when she was there, even though she had reportedly insisted they not attend.

Video footage from the event shows the Duchess of Sussex whispering to an aide at the market before she is mysteriously whisked away.

Her lawyers have denied that her exit had anything to do with UN Women, as she had worked with the group before and met with them again later on the island.
