The scathing nickname given to Meghan Markle by her coworkers has been revealed.

Back in 2022, both Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, teamed up with Spotify for their podcast titled Archetypes.

However, less than year after the podcast's debut in 2023, the production company founded by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to part ways with the platform.

While it was unclear why the podcast was leaving the platform, Spotify and Archewell Audio said in a joint statement that the decision was mutual.

Since her departure from Archetypes, UK royal correspondent Neil Sean told Fox News Digital that a secret nickname was given to Meghan - who has been the target of a number of baseless online attacks throughout the years - by former employees 'who worked on her ill-fated podcast'.

"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.

He explained that 'Eva' was not an 'engaging pet nickname', adding: "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.

Sean went on to discuss what allegedly went down 'behind the scenes' at the time, carrying on: "There were many things that were not covered.

"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 realising it."

Sean also told the outlet that sources claimed Meghan only wanted 'to speak to the person at the top' when she worked alongside them.

"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."

Tyla has reached out to Meghan Markle's representatives for comment.
