<p id=”par-1_23″>A familiar story about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-harry/?swcfpc=1″>Prince Harry</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a>‘s employees is making headlines again as they have lost six more staff members. </p>
<p id=”par-2_83″>There are conflicting reports as some indicate the staffers quit, while others say the couple chose to let them go in what was described as a “purge” of their PR circle. According to <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/2068926/prince-harry-meghan-markle-aides-latest” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Express</a>, some of those who no longer work for the duke and duchess include Charlie Gipson, their Director of Communications in Europe; Kyle Boulia, their deputy press secretary; and Lianne Cashin, the former head of operations at Archewell who just weeks ago she was promoted to a senior consultant. </p>
<p id=”par-3_34″>Meghan’s social media manager is also no longer employed either. But it’s unknown if that has anything to do with the controversial <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-meghans-twerking-video-daugters-birth-didnt-come-surprise-everyone.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>twerking video</a> released on Instagram to mark Princess Lilibet’s 4th birthday. </p>
<p id=”par-4_37″>Whether they were fired or quit, it’s pretty clear that job security isn’t something that comes with working for the Sussexes. Here’s more on that and what a commentator is saying about the high turnover rate. </p>

<p id=”par-5_27″>The reason some believe these staffers left on their own is because of what past employees have said about working for the duke and duchess, particularly Meghan.</p>
<p id=”par-6_55″>In 2024, <a href=”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/hollywood-keeps-quitting-prince-harry-meghan-markle-1235996963/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Hollywood Reporter</a> published a story after speaking to several members of the “Sussex Survivors Club” who said that “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan. She belittles people. She doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers; they change their minds frequently.” They added that the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/”><em>Suits</em> alum</a> “barks out orders” like a “<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-dictator-high-heels-reduce-grown-men-tears-report.html/?swcfpc=&swcfpc=1″>dictator in high heels</a>.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_31″>The ex-staffers were a little kinder when speaking about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>her husband</a>, saying: “Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_47″>Other former employees who spoke to <a href=”https://www.thedailybeast.com/former-employees-of-demon-meghan-markle-share-their-truth-on-her-psycho-moments” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Beast</a> called the duchess a “<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/new-claims-say-meghan-markle-not-just-dictator-high-heels-also-demon-boss.html/”>demon boss</a>” who has “psycho moments.” And that description came before Vanity Fair published a piece for its February 2025 cover story in which past employees claimed they needed therapy after working for Meghan. </p>

<p id=”par-9_28″>Knowing all those stories have royal commentator and <em>To Di For Daily</em> podcast host Kinsey Schofield convinced that the individuals no longer working for the Sussexes left on their own.</p>
<p id=”par-10_50″>During an appearance on <em>Sky News Australia</em>, she said: “It’s very bad when you’re working for the world’s most famous royal escape artists and it’s the one job everyone wants to escape. I think the constant turnover in Harry and Meghan’s camp isn’t just a PR issue a leadership issue.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_53″>Schofield continued: “People don’t walk away from jobs they love. They walk away from dysfunction … Six more employees, that’s a significant number. That’s not a coincidence. We’re looking at a pattern. That’s culture, and culture comes from the top. You [Meghan] can’t build an empire when you’re burning through your architects. </p>
<p id=”par-12_15″>“No amount of branded coffee or Instagram posts can mask the instability behind the scenes.”</p>
