The name wasn’t chosen randomly—it was inspired by a classic Hollywood film.
Meghan’s Nickname Came from a Ruthless Film Character
The reference to “Eva” wasn’t a term of endearment. Instead, it was a nod to the 1955 Hollywood classic Queen Bee, starring the legendary Joan Crawford. The film tells the story of Eva Phillips, a manipulative socialite who thrives on control and destruction.
“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].”
Meghan reportedly had no idea that employees were using this nickname behind her back.
Meghan Markle: The Employee From Hell?
Neil Sean detailed how difficult Meghan was to work with, describing her as high-maintenance and prone to mood swings. According to him, her behavior made working conditions unbearable for many at Spotify.
“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,” Sean said. He further claimed that employees considered her “tough and bossy,” leading them to compare her to the ruthless movie character.
But it wasn’t just the mood swings that made life difficult for those around her. Sean alleged that Meghan insisted on only working with the highest levels of Spotify’s management, refusing to engage with anyone she deemed unimportant.
“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 stated. He claimed that while people were initially captivated by Meghan’s presence, the charm quickly faded as she became increasingly demanding.
Spotify Exec Blasts Harry and Meghan as “Grifters”
It wasn’t just lower-level employees who were frustrated with Meghan. Even top executives at Spotify were fed up with the royal couple. Bill Simmons, a top Spotify executive and well-known sports podcaster, didn’t hold back when he discussed his experience with Harry and Meghan after their contract ended.
“‘The Fing Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,” Simmons said. “I have got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories. F them. The grifters.”
Simmons’ remarks only reinforced the growing sentiment that the couple had overpromised and underdelivered during their short-lived deal with the streaming giant.

Meghan Markle’s Reputation Takes Another Hit
Meghan Markle’s departure from Spotify not only ended a multi-million dollar deal but also left a lasting impression on those who worked with her. The revelation of her secret nickname and the frustrations expressed by former staffers paint a picture of a demanding, hard-to-please boss whose once-glowing reputation is beginning to tarnish.
Burning bridges with one of the biggest names in the streaming industry could be a costly mistake. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue their efforts to build a media empire, their ability to secure future deals may depend on whether they can shake off their growing reputation as “grifters” and demanding employers.
