According to a senior palace source, the details of the review were being kept under wraps in order to protect the anonymity of those who took part in the inquiry, during which current and former staff were invited to share their experiences of working under the duchess.
The source said that members of the royal faily and staff members had been made aware of the policy and procedural changes to the palace's HR department, but they would not be shared publicly.
The investigation was launched by Buckingham Palace in March 2021, after it was alleged the duchess drove out two personal assistants. It was also claimed that staff were "humiliated" on several occasions.
Her lawyers denied the allegations when they were made.
