At the time, the reason given for the abrupt end to her walkabout was that the crowds grew too big to control.

However, Meghan, 39, was actually concerned about the presence of UN Women, a group which promotes women's empowerment, The Times reported.

they saw Meghan "turn and 'hiss' at a member of her entourage, clearly incandescent with rage about something, and demand to leave".

They wrote: "I later saw that same – female – highly distressed member of staff sitting in an official car, with tears running down her face. Our eyes met and she lowered hers, humiliation etched on her features.

"At the time I was unable to document anything as I couldn't conclusively link the two incidents together, despite my suspicions. I have subsequently found out from other sources that my instincts were right."

It comes as Meghan is facing allegations of bullying staff made by one of her closest advisers during her time at Kensington Palace.

The Queen last night launched a probe into the allegations.

According to a source, Meghan said she would only visit the Fijian market if there was no branding for the group.

Lawyers for Meghan denied the claims, and said she met with leaders from UN Women later during her visit.

She had worked with UN Women in the past.

Meghan was being given a tour of Suva Market during the 2018 Royal visit when her bodyguards intervened.
