The Queen rewarded the loyal services of Samantha Cohen appointing her Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 2016. However, the good harmony he had with the head of state was broken with the arrival of Meghan Markle on the scene. Samantha decided to leave her position at Kensington Palace after the departure of Melissa Touabti, another of Meghan’s close collaborators. She had been in the service of Prince Harry ahead of his grand royal wedding, which took place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. Her departure further increased the existing rumors that assured that it was very difficult to work with Meghan. According to information published in various British media, the Duchess got up when she lived in London at 4:30 a.m. to do yoga and starting at five in the morning he would start sending emails to his staff with very specific requests that used to be repeated five or six times a day.

Samantha was also known for belonging to the group Palace Four, where four of the workers closest to the Duchess of Sussex were, who left Meghan alone in her legal battle against the tabloids. The former collaborators did not want to be involved in Meghan’s war against the publishing publisher Associated Newspapers and said they were simply carrying out their duties. Lawyers for this group of employees assured in their statement that “none of our clients appreciate their possible participation in this litigation, which has arisen purely as a result of the performance of their duties in their respective jobs and the discretion required by the Royal House.” In addition, they added that “none of them wants to take sides in this dispute. Our clients are all completely neutral and have no interest in helping any party in the process. Their only interest is to ensure a level playing field, in regards to any evidence they may provide.”
