The Duke and Duchess of Sussex seem to have had a difficult time retaining staff. In fact, the Daily Mail claims they have lost at least 18 employees since they married in 2018, with nine or more leaving after the duo moved to California in 2020.
“What may be most telling is that the entire time I worked there, I don’t think I heard a single current or former employee on their staff say they would take the job again if given the chance,” a former staffer told the outlet.
“These aren’t employees they had just found off the streets,” the ex-employee continued. “Many of them are people who had previously excelled working for demanding bosses in high-performance companies and environments.”
When he was hired to be the chief of the Sussexes’ staff earlier this year, Kettler was regarded as the perfect man to “guide” Harry “through his next phase.”
In May, Kettler was a key figure on the prince’s trip to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.He also played a pivotal role on the royals’ three-day tour of Nigeria later that month.

> The Duke of Sussex’s chief of staff, Josh Kettler, has left his position after three months, PEOPLE understands. Hired on a trial basis, the decision to part ways was mutual, with both sides agreeing it wasn’t the right fit.
> Kettler, who started in his role just a week before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s official visit to Nigeria in May, also accompanied the Duke of Sussex on his trip to London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Sounds like a standard three month trial period to me
William and Kate have gone through loads of staff but you rarely hear about that. Kate went through like 6 private secretaries in like a year.
