Meghan and Harry fire employees – because the money allegedly runs out
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry continue to reduce their team of employees. The reason could be their high ongoing expenses. Not only your luxury villa eats money.
HR reduction at Sussex in Montecito continues: As “Page Six” reports, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry have now separated from their communication team. The reasons cause speculation.
Meghan and Harry dismantle staff
It was announced last month that the couple said goodbye to six other employees – including their two internal press officers. Since its retreat from the British royal family in 2020, the personnel losses add up to a total of 25 people, according to the report. Some of these separations have not yet been made public. “It is the same old story – you consume your staff as quickly as normal people.
It is possible that austerity measures are a reason for reducing the Sussex team. Meghan and Harry have made a lot of money with their Netflix deal, but the streaming service wants to report in the future. There should no longer be exclusive total contracts for the two ex-royals, but a so-called “First Look” deal that is common in the industry. This means that Netflix reserves the right to look at ideas and projects of the two first and, if necessary, give the green light before other streaming providers are involved.
Prince Harry becomes 40: From the rebellious Lausbuben to the Royal superstar
On September 15, 1984, Prince Henry Charles Albert David, better known as Prince Harry, was born in London as the second child of the then Prince Charles and Princess Dianas. As the royal tradition was bid, Diana posed shortly after the origin with her newborn on the stages of the private wing “Lindo Wing” of the London St. Mary’s Hospital. At that time, nobody suspected that Prince Harry should break with this tradition with his later wife Meghan 35 years later

PR agency hired
However, the life of the Sussexes in Montecito is not cheap. For their luxury villa in the California place, Meghan and Harry pay a mortgage and high maintenance costs. They also largely arise for their travels. After all, her great wish was to position yourself financially independently after leaving the Royal Family. From now on, Miranda Barbot Maines is responsible for her PR work.
“Since the business and philanthropic activities of the Duke and the Duchess are growing, I made the strategic decision to rely on a classic agency structure with specialized teams,” she said in a statement and explained why the step for the two is. “The change from a two-person team to an agency with eight employees who work over five time zones enables better access to international media and, above all, guarantees faster response times,” says Maines. So that’s not all: as industry insiders analyze, an agency is simply cheaper for the two.
