In a shocking new development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing mounting staff issues, according to palace sources in Valentine Low's explosive new book, "Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition, and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor."
After four members of their staff departed recently, it seems the dysfunction within the couple's household continues. Royal expert Hilary Fordwick claims that skilled professionals have struggled to thrive and that the latest staff exodus confirms the chaos.
Despite hiring Meredith Maines, a seasoned communications pro from entities like Google, Hulu, and "American Idol," as their chief communications officer earlier this year, sources tell PEOPLE that Meghan and Harry have a history of bringing top talent on board, yet they tend to part ways without lasting success. A source hinted at more changes to come, snipping, "Something tells me there will be another change in the future."
Richard Fitzwilliams, another royal expert, estimates that around 20 staff members have left the couple since their move to California. The Sussexes' reportedly $100 million Netflix deal, signed in 2020 following their royal exit, may fuel the pressure to succeed in Hollywood.
Meanwhile, disputes over Meghan's management style plague the couple's image. Insiders claim Meghan can be difficult to work with, playing checkers, undermining colleagues, and creating a harsh work environment. One colleague described the atmosphere as "like 'Mean Girls' teenager." However, Jane Marie, a producer who collaborated with Meghan, described her as "just a lovely, genuine person."
Amid the ongoing staff shuffle, the couple continues to build their Hollywood empire, with Meghan promoting her lifestyle brand and Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," on Instagram.
As the couple continues to make headlines and attract controversy, they seemingly remain focused on their media and business ventures in America. With numerous staff changes and growing scrutiny, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
