The Mirror insider said of Toubati, "Her job was highly pressurized and in the end it became too much. 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. She'll be missed by everyone in the household.
"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," the source noted.

According to the Mirror, when Toubati resigned as Markle's personal assistant, a palace source was authorized to praise her and the role she played in organizing Harry's royal wedding.
