As exclusively reported by the Daily Mail, Josh Kettler, the Chief of Staff of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has abruptly quit his position after just three months. A source in California confirmed that "Kettler is no longer working for the couple," sparking intrigue. The sudden departure comes at a critical time, as Kettler was expected to accompany the couple on their upcoming quasi-royal tour of Colombia.
Josh Kettler's resignation is a significant blow to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He was appointed earlier this year to supposedly guide the Duke through his next phase and had already accompanied him to London in May for the Invictus Games' tenth anniversary. Kettler's experience and expertise were seen as crucial in navigating the couple's philanthropic endeavors and public engagements.
With Josh Kettler, the couple sure has received a big blow. However, it is not the first to quit Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in recent times as many of their staff bid farewell to Archewell Foundation too.

The departure of Josh Kettler, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Chief of Staff, is not an isolated incident. Since the launch of Archewell in 2020, the Sussexes have faced a string of high-profile exits. Kettler is the sixth member to leave the couple's team, highlighting a pattern of staff turnover. Earlier this year, Archewell's production company lost an executive, adding to the growing list of departures.
The list of departures includes various product managers, an Oscar-winning producer, the head of marketing, and even the President of Archewell. These exits have raised concerns about the stability and management of the Sussexes' brand. As Columbia awaits the couple for their second overseas trip of the year, the couple's ability to retain key personnel and maintain a cohesive team remains a challenge.
