News broke earlier last month about Meghan Markle's personal assistant quitting her job after only six months. Now sources have revealed why she decided to clock out of the highly coveted position in such a short amount of time. Read on for all the details.

The PA's name is 39-year-old Melissa Toubati, who has previously worked for pop star Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field.

Mirror Online broke the story regarding the alleged details over why Melissa quit being Meghan's PA, which included her being reduced to tears over HRH's demands.

“Her job was highly pressurized and in the end it became too much," the source revealed. "She put up with quite a lot. Meghan put a lot of demands on her and it ended up with her in tears."

“She is hugely talented and played a pivotal role in the success of the royal wedding," the source continued. "She’ll be missed by everyone in the household." She is believed to have quit suddenly shortly after Meghan married Prince Harry back in May.

"Melissa is a total professional and fantastic at her job, but things came to a head and it was easier for them both to go their separate ways.”

Meghan's diva-like demands have started to swirl over the past couple of months. Sources close to Daily Mirror have suggested the mother-to-be has been dictatorial, often emailing staff requests at 5am.
