Do the Sussexes have a staffing problem?

The Sussexes never seem to keep out of the news for too long, and this time they’re back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. It now transpires that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have managed to lose yet another staff member – taking the total to an estimated 18 since their marriage in 2018, while around nine are thought to have ditched the ex-royals since 2020. Talk about a high turnover…

The renegade royal took on a new chief of staff just three months ago, with Josh Kettler described as the best man to ‘guide’ the Prince ‘through his next phase’. But, as reported in the Daily Mail this morning, it seems that even 90 days with the couple was too long for the former Patagonia exec. A source from California, where the Montecito monarchs live, told the newspaper that ‘Josh Kettler is no longer working for them’.
