Palace insiders were concerned any outcome from an internal inquiry would not be seen as impartial, it was said. The news comes as Meghan Markle has written to the Palace demanding to see documents, emails or text messages relating to the bullying complaint against her.
The probe is planned after a senior Palace aide accused Meghan of “unacceptable behaviour” towards two personal assistants, and undermining the confidence of a third.
Former and current royal aides who were blocked from giving evidence in court during Meghan’s recent legal privacy battle are expected to speak to the inquiry.
But in a clear indication that the duchess is preparing to fight back against what she has termed “a smear campaign”, a senior Palace source confirmed that her office had “written to request the evidence”.
In response, the Queen has passed the request to the Prince of Wales, whose closest aides are now conducting a search of files.
One royal source said: “The actual worst incidences haven’t come out. There’s a lot that could come out in the wash that hasn’t been told.”
Meanwhile, Prince William and Harry have “been in contact” for the first time since last weekend’s television interview.
