The departure of Meredith Maines, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s chief communications officer, has sparked sharply conflicting accounts from sources close to the Sussexes. Some describe her tenure as deeply troubled, while others insist she stayed on to manage key transitions at Archewell after being urged to remain.Commentators and former aides allege a culture of instability behind the scenes, with claims of constant reversals, late-night edits and staff being frozen out after negative press. Media figures suggest Meghan may be placing blame for unfavourable coverage on her publicists, as insiders describe the role as “miserable and impossible.”Elsewhere, Meghan’s estrangement from her father, Thomas Markle, has taken another unusual turn, with reports that a recent letter was delivered via official channels and witnessed by legal counsel. Thomas has since spoken publicly about his recovery following surgery.We also note fresh sightings of Prince Andrew using a new Land Rover Defender at Royal Lodge, reportedly part of a wider vehicle arrangement with the Royal Family.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.👑 Follow our hit series Crown and Controversy!
