the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\nHarry and Meghan are reportedly not seeking a replacement for Ms Maines, with the understanding that Liam Maguire, the UK and Europe director of communications, will assume the role.<\/p>\n
Meredith Maines, who began her tenure with the Sussexes in March 2025, is thought to be the 11th publicist in five years to leave the position following the couple’s decision to step back from their Royal duties and move to California in 2020.<\/p>\n
Jennie raised questions about the necessity of such key aides. As quoted in the Mirror, she queried: “Perhaps it’s not so surprising that staff come and go at such a rate. I’m not really sure why they need so many staff in the first place.<\/p>\n
“Why can’t they run their lives and their projects with just one or two helpers?”.<\/p>\n
With the future of recruitment uncertain for Harry and Meghan due to recent staff departures, the expert also speculated on what the next year might hold: “I really don’t know what lies ahead for Harry and Meghan in 2026, but I hope that they will be happy and enjoy the life that they’ve chosen with their two lovely children in the Californian sunshine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
