In recent months, several staff members have reportedly left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team, raising concerns about the working environment within the couple’s household and professional ventures. The departures have cast a shadow over the reputation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with insiders revealing that their demanding nature may be to blame.
An inside source, speaking to In Touch, shared that the royal couple are “incredibly difficult to work for.” The source explained, “The brutal truth is Meghan and Harry are the toughest of taskmasters. They’re incredibly difficult to work for. The numbers don’t lie. To have almost 20 staffers quitting tells its own story. It’s unprecedented, even for a startup!”
One notable departure was Josh Kettler, Chief of Staff for Meghan’s brand American Riviera. Kettler was expected to accompany the couple on their tour of Colombia in August but left his position just days before the trip. His sudden exit raised further questions about the work environment around the Sussexes.
The insider also questioned whether the issue lies with the couple’s treatment of their staff or their ability to choose the right employees. “Not being able to keep staffers raises a worrying question,” the source remarked, adding, “Are Meghan and Harry terrible at choosing employees, or is it a terrible work environment?”
As more staff leave and rumors swirl about the challenges of working for the Duke and Duchess, the situation has sparked debate about the balance between the couple’s high standards and the atmosphere within their team.
