Can someone explain why it seems every few months, a member of Harry and Meghan’s staff announces their exit? Is this unusual or is it just getting attention because it’s Harry and Meghan?
Her name is Meghan Sussex
Generally, the goings on of public relations teams should not be a bigger story than the actual brand they are representing. The goal of a public relations team is to not be the story. I am not sure why its constantly the biggest story with these two. Fans will defend them, critics will criticize them, but at the end of the day, being famous and connected doesn’t guarantee you know how to run a business and a brand.
For comparison’s sake, how common is it for staff to leave this kind of business?
Fascinating
I head a not for profit org. We can’t keep people. They move like chess pieces.
I’m a PR professional and I do not understand why they employ so many in-house communications staffers. It’s a little unusual for anyone other than elected officials to have staff on the payroll with titles like “deputy press secretary,” and they don’t do a lot of official engagements requiring people with these positions. If they were still working royals maybe this structure would make sense, because there is a public affairs component, but their charity work is not robust enough to justify it now and I assume the major communications responsibilities at this point are responding to tabloids and promoting their commercial endeavors. They need maybe 1-2 in-house people and then a firm. I suspect the high turnover results from a mismatch of expectations and results.
Why do they announce every single position change? Most companies don’t make public announcements either every staff shuffle.
You guys. THIS time the staff shakeup is going to work and everything will go perfectly. Just one final new set of hires and restructuring will solve everything!
I’m really confused as to why they need so many staff members.
They’re not that important for all this. And they’re genocide supporters
More attempts to conflate routine staff changes into drama. PR jobs have extremely fast turn over. There’s nothing unusual about these time frames.
