Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Lose 4 Staffers Amid Latest Shuffle… Read more

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are undergoing another internal shuffle within their team.

Four of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex‘s employees have recently parted ways with the royal couple after Meredith Maines (Google, Hulu, American Idol) came on as their first chief communications officer earlier this year, Deadline can confirm.

Among the departed staffers are LA-based deputy press secretary Kyle Boulia and UK press officer Charlie Gipson, both of whom were hired last March. These four are the most recent exits from their team. Since stepping back from royal duties, reports suggest at least 22 people have left their team, with six in the last two months.

Harry and Meghan previously took on Emily Robinson (Netflix) as their director of communications, along with a team from Method Communications. Markle also hired Bill Gates’ former assistant Sarah Fosmo as her first chief of staff last month.

Last year, their global press secretary and head of communications Ashley Hansen departed to launch her own firm, bringing Harry and Meghan on as clients. Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex’s chief of staff Josh Kettler also exited following a trial period.
