Breaking News: Meghan Markle earns stinging secret nickname from Spotify podcast co-workers: expert…..See More

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were the subject of a scathing Vanity Fair report where several ex Spotify employees came forward

Meghan Markle earned a not-so-sweet nickname during her time with Spotify.

UK royal correspondent Neil Sean told Fox News Digital that the secret nickname was given to the Duchess of Sussex by disgruntled former employees “who worked on her ill-fated podcast” titled “Archetypes.”

“Ex-staff members… told me they decided to christen her ‘Eva’ and this was used as a warning signal to let people know that she was either arriving or on the warpath,” Sean claimed.

This wasn’t an engaging pet nickname,” Sean explained. “The nickname came from the 1955 camp classic ‘Queen Bee’ starring the ultimate diva… herself – Joan Crawford… This is because, like the Joan character [Eva Phillips], she stung her victims to pieces. This is exactly how staff felt about working alongside [Meghan].”

“According to the source, she had no idea about any of this,” Sean added.

According to Turner Classic Movies, the film is about a “manipulative” socialite who “sets out to destroy the lives of all those around her.”

Sean’s claims came shortly after Vanity Fair published a scathing cover story about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lives in California. A spokesperson for the couple did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment about the lengthy feature.

There were many things that were not covered,” Sean said. “Behind the scenes, staff [found] Meghan really difficult to deal with, simply because of her… mood swings and just how well certain aspects of her career [were] going… [they] thought she was quite tough and bossy, so decided to [give her] the nickname of that character… She was high camp without realizing it.

When that person is not around, they have to be reminded that they are dealing with somebody who is a duchess and more importantly, a member of the British royal family,” Sean was told. “This worked at the beginning as people were… beguiled by Meghan’s presence. But it quickly wore off when she became demanding… clearly forgetting her struggling actress days.”

Additionally, Markle was not the only one some ex-staffers buzzed about.

Sean claimed that Harry was known as “Tim Nice But Dim,” referring to the British TV comedy.
