Nothing evades the influence of social media. So it\u2019s no surprise that media picked up on the controversial gesture from <strong>Natasha Archer<\/strong>, the right hand of <strong>Kate Middleton<\/strong> for over a decade, toward <strong>Meghan Markle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fd6a5b65cfb1-gettyimages-520628340.jpg\"   width=\"798\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Natasha Archer\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Getty ImagesNatasha Archer<\/p>\n<p id=\"eRaaiw5WaF\" data-wc=\"52\">After serving as Kate&#8217;s personal assistant for over 15 years, the Princess of Wales&#8217; personal assistant has now confirmed her departure from Buckingham Palace, as exclusively reported by People.

According to People, Natasha did follow both accounts before leaving her role but chose to hit the unfollow button after stepping away from the royal household.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/890267aec081-gettyimages-2211633785.jpg\"   width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attends the Time100 Summit \" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 GC Images Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attends the Time100 Summit <\/p>\n<p id=\"eXll3jYN5y\" data-wc=\"52\">The longtime royal staffer, who over the years became both assistant and official stylist to the Princess of Wales, also used to follow several accounts linked to Meghan\u2019s inner circle, including <strong>Daniel Martin<\/strong>, <strong>Delfina Blaquier<\/strong>, and <strong>Heather Dorak<\/strong>.

She was originally hired in 2010 as a personal assistant to <strong>Prince William<\/strong> and Kate but over time became a key part of the Princess of Wales\u2019 inner circle. Beyond serving as her right hand, Archer significantly contributed to Kate&#8217;s style evolution, facilitating her transition from an elegant public figure to a future queen with a distinct royal presence.<\/p>\n<p> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2360c4b2c6d6-gettyimages-2173681442.jpg\"   width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Media Image\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" class=\"image ho-image\"\/>\u00a9 Dave Benett\/Getty Images for Sve<\/p>\n<p id=\"e9vJgs9TSsC\" data-wc=\"30\">Archer took on the task of building a wardrobe fit for the role\u2014covering intense international tours, countless royal engagements, and milestone moments like the hospital photocall after Prince George\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n<p>A Stellar Comeback<\/p>\n<p id=\"eNGRSMVXwC\" data-wc=\"77\">Kate Middleton made sure not to miss Wimbledon, marking her first public appearance since she skipped Royal Ascot 2025.
