Staff working for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lifted the lid on what it’s really like to work for the couple.

And after listening to what they’ve got to say, we ask if you’d fancy working for them? Since moving to America in 2020, the royal duo have faced criticism for a rather rapid staff turnover at their Archewell organisation. Recent reports, including allegations that Meghan ‘belittles people’ and earned the nickname ‘Duchess Difficult’, were featured in the Hollywood Reporter, which co-editor-in-chief Maer Roshan defended, citing a high-level source close to the couple.

The allegations came several years after sources told The Times that Meghan bullied staff when she was a working royal – something she has always vehemently denied. But since then, both current and ex-employees of the Sussexes have spoken out to American magazine US Weekly to paint a very different picture of what it’s like to work for Harry and Meghan.

One of the most notable is Josh Kettler, who lasted just three months in the role of Harry’s chief of staff before his departure. Eyebrows were raised when the seasoned public relations professional left his role after just weeks after he was reportedly hired to “guide him [Harry] through his next phase”. Mr Kettler, who had previously been chief of staff and head of strategic partnerships at the communication platform Cognixion, revealed that he was “warmly welcomed” by both of them and their Archewell team. He added: “They are dedicated and hardworking. It was impressive to witness.”

Another staff member who also talked to the magazine is the couple’s current global press secretary Ashley Hansen, who says her bosses could not be more supportive. She explains that she was forced to take time off work following a serious surgery – and was afterwards inundated with supportive phone calls, care packages and flowers from Meghan.

Meanwhile, another former staffer told the magazine that Harry and Meghan are quick to hand out thoughtful gifts to staff whenever they need them. The person, who remained anonymous, said that when they adopted a dog, they were gifted a luxury leash and collar for the pet. They also added that when staff welcome a new baby, they are given “top-notch secondhand stuff” from the Sussexes like “like unused car seats and baby items they no longer need”.
