Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started 2026 with what, according to insiders, they are calling a 'PR nightmare.' Their chief communications officer Meredith Maines stepped down after less than one year in the position – marking their 11th publicist departure in just five years.
The timing is particularly damaging as the couple simultaneously announced their separation from US-based PR agency Method Communications in late December 2025. A number of leading PR agencies have refused to work with the couple because of their unstable reputation and frequent scandals.
