What do you give a royal for Christmas? A letter of resignation, apparently. Such is the case for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who lost two of their most senior staff members within a matter of days over the festive period.
On Friday, it was revealed that Harry and Meghan are on the hunt for their 12th publicist in five years as their most recent hire, Michelle Maines, handed in her notice after less than a year in the role. And on Monday, news broke that one of the couple’s most loyal advisors was officially jumping ship: James Holt, who worked with the Sussexes in the UK and followed them to California, has stepped down from his position as executive director of Archewell, Harry and Meghan’s charity.
