At one point Meghan is claimed to have lost her temper with an assistant and a hot drink was knocked over.

A source said: “The Australia tour is one of the most important in the royal world but there have long been allegations of rows with staff.

“If these assistants come forward it will form the centre of the Palace’s bullying probe. It was a critical time.”

The allegations also include Meghan becoming upset at being given only a wing of the Australian Governor’s mansion to stay in, rather than the entire property.

A month after the tour, the couple’s first as a royal couple, Meghan’s personal assistant Melissa Toubati resigned.
