No matter how many interviews and documentaries the family filmed Sussex (Harry and Meghan) for themselves, they failed to repair their image after numerous scandals, writes plovdiv24.bg.
And the fact that the couple has changed several assistants, consultants and PR agents in recent years plays an important role in this reputational fiasco. Journalists have long noted that none of Harry and Meghan's key team members stick around for long.
For example, in August 2024, Sussex's chief of staff, Josh Kettler, left his post after just three months in the job. For the Sussexes, Josh's sacking was a major blow as he had to "lead Harry through the next stage of his life" and to accompany the Dukes during their tour of Colombia.
The reasons for the dismissal of the head of office are not specified, but it is possible that Kettler could not withstand the tension and intrigue that was building up both in and around Meghan and Harry.
Samantha Cohen, who worked for Queen Elizabeth II for 17 years, was appointed personal assistant to Meghan and Harry back in 2018. And in 2019, she left the position of secretary to the couple. Given that a replacement could not be found for another six months, Cohen had to stay, as he later told the Australian newspaper Herald Sun.
Samantha compared working for Meghan and Harry to working with teenagers. She organized their first royal tour, and during the preparation, Meghan simply wore the woman out. She shouted at her and behaved intolerably.
"Everyone is afraid of Meghan. She puts people down and doesn't listen to anyone's advice. Both do not know how to make decisions and often change their minds. Harry is a very, very charming man - without any pathos - but he pleases her in every way. And she's just terrible,”, a source said in a spicy response to The Hollywood Reporter.
By the way, Markle herself denies all accusations of violence against Cohen, and only a few years later it turns out that Samantha was not the only one who was attacked by the wife of Prince Harry.
Back in 2018, two Buckingham Palace employees accused Meghan of harassment, which even led to an internal investigation. However, its results were never made public, and Markle herself called the accusations defamatory. But the officials who work with the Duchess in the United States fully confirm these words. Thanks to her loud tantrums and angry emails at five in the morning, Meghan has earned herself the nickname "The Difficult Duchess”.
"She is absolutely ruthless. She marches like a dictator in high heels, seething with anger and shouting orders. "I've seen her bring grown men to tears," says an insider.
