If you ever experienced the whole rich people assistant and publicist crowd, you will know those people come and go all the time.
I think their PR has probably got a much tougher job than average.
Both Meghan & Harry seem to have strong ideas about what they want to respond to and want to put ātheir truthā/ātheir sideā across as much as they can, but traditional PR strategy relies on being very selective about that.
I could easily believe itās more that itās a hard job than that there just nightmares to work for/bullies on a people level.
Iām unemployed so Iāll take the job. I can do it!

Not Meredith ššš
A few weeks ago, Someone predicted in a reply to me that she’d leave after Christmas, I need them to make more predictions ASAP šš
Wondering what the common denominator isš¤
Megan is her own worst enemy.
They cannot stop giving to us this holiday season š¤£
Where thereās smoke thereās fire!! And, thereās an awful lot of smoke constantly around Meghan Markle!! Coincidence?! I think not!!
They need a bulldog celebrity publicist and I think they THINK they want a nonprofit/charity focused one. I think theyāre also too heavy handed in wanting to respond to every little thing without having a playbook for different scenarios. There should have been a crisis playbook in place for anything related to her dad well in advance, for instance.
Seriously, what are they doing to these people? Please give us the exposĆØ!
Meghan Markle downfall needs to be studied. For god saies, she was a princess! Sheās her own worst enemy
I know that you are all going to get mad when I state the obvious… but it sounds like her publicist have 2-year contracts.
Harry believed that their staff frequently crying at their desks while he and Meghan were still in the royal family was someone else’s fault and neither he nor meghan seem the types to learn from (repeated) experience so I’m not surprised they’re burning through staff at an absurd rate. There can be high turnover in some industries but this is absolutely not the norm and is a bad look that, ironically, they could use a good PR person to clean up

This is not normal, no matter how anyone will try to spin it.
I wish someone would just come out of the woodworks and blow the whistle.
If Meghan and Harry are bad employers, let people know so no one puts the time and effort into applying to work for them only to be treated horribly. Iām sure no one will because it could set the potential for legal trouble but my word. It could be anonymous!
THAT would be a book about those two that I would actually read.
If they’re going to continue to do what they want, how they want, they should just save their money and fly solo.
I wonder how long James and Shaunna will last with this new, confusing change to Archewell as well. James has been with Harry since 2011ish
Really, is anyone surprised? So obviously not nice people.
ironically, this is a PR disaster!
I mean wouldnāt it be the easiest job to have in a way especially if you were like the character from the show āParks and Recreationā, April Ludgate? You do nothing and care little and let them create their own fires and give them back the same energy. You could easily last 18 months to 2 years. š
Theyāre never going to get their PR house in order unless they start over. They need a brand and reputation architect. Until they have their ducks in a row about who they are, how theyāre viewed by the public, their core purpose, primary vision, etc. then any PR firm is only going to be amplifying the chaos. They need to hire the kind of strategist who works quietly, who does crisis management or high stakes political campaigns. And a single comms person who guides all media. And they need to listen to those people and be able to accept their advice, even if it hurts. A lot of this mess is their fault. If I were them, I would go totally dark for the next six months and distill down to three lanes – one identity, one activity, one philanthropic focus. Shrink it all, become boring and consistent. Perception-wise that will eventually translate into respectability. Theyāve clearly had such bad advice for many years (or maybe people have tried to give them good advice and they donāt listen.)

Hey, The Sun has a negative opinion about Meghan. Did they fact check anything banking on whether or not they’ll get any pushback? Will people care and blindly believe the Sun? Let’s find out!
Edit: do The Sun and the Daily Mail exist as prompts for people wanting to have bad faith discussions?
Why exactly do people not like her? Is it because she’s brown?
I don’t believe a thing this publication has to say. This isn’t a reliable news source: [https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-sun/](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-sun/)
Must be a difficult and frustrating job.
A spokesman said: āMeredith Maines and Method Communications have concluded their work with Archewell. The Duke and Duchess are grateful for their contributions and wish them well.ā
Meredith Maines said: āAfter a year of inspiring work with Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Archewell, I will be pursuing a new opportunity in 2026.
An understanding (aka a brief)
A source said: āThere were a few eyebrows raised when Method and Meredith were retained given their heavy experience background in tech and venture capitalism, especially given the work of the coupleā.
āI have the utmost gratitude and respect for the couple and the team, and the good they are doing in the world.ā
It is believed an agency has been found to replace Method Communications to support Harry and Meghan in the US.
Hereās people with the same āunderstandingā a little while later after the Sun āexclusiveā
A source familiar with the coupleās communications approach tells PEOPLE that there was some initial industry curiosity around the appointment.
āThere were a few eyebrows raised when Method and Meredith were retained, given their heavy background in tech, consumer PR and venture capital,ā the source says, noting that the experience differed from the communications efforts typically associated with the Duke and Duchess of Sussexās work.
ETA: Sorry no understanding here this was a āsourceā
Maybe itās not because they didnāt get a long but the contract ended
The title saying”Meghan” loses 11th publicist tells me all I need to know.
I imagine itās a tough job; not because Meghan is anything but lovely, but because youāre dealing with someone very high profile and very polarizing (because of awful, mean people on the internet who canāt let someone just live). I think it would be fun to work for her in this capacity for a little while!
Iām sorry, Meghanās Christmas wish letter was so contrived and did not have a warm feeling even though warm words were strung together. Her pub did right.
