She made it so stressful that staff were requesting transfers to the sandbox.

Read her bio.  Her "career" is giving away the family fortune and basking in the glory of her beneficence.  Another "compassionate" capitalist scion.

My guess: Even though ambassdorial duties in a little state like Luxemburg have got to be rather trivial, I'd say this appointee was too lazy to even go through the motions of doing her job - she probably expected everyone else to do her job for her, and when that didn't happen, she began berating her subordinates.

Drunk with power or her own self-importance, she went ahead and treated herself to all kinds of goodies without any attempt at discretion . . . and essentially flaunted her bad behavior.

The staff she alienated, rather than cover for a poltical hack they detested, simply let her behave that way until things caught up with her.
