Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team suffers huge change ahead of their ‘faux-royal’ trip
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s so-called ‘faux royal’ tour has been met with severe criticism, according to a commentator who has delivered a damning verdict on the couple’s recent activities. The commentator suggests that the tour, which has drawn considerable public attention, falls short of the standards expected of a genuine royal engagement.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have encountered a significant setback as their team undergoes a major change just before their upcoming trip to Colombia. According to People Magazine, Harry’s chief of staff, Josh Kettler, has resigned from his position only three months after being hired on a trial basis.
The decision to part ways was reportedly amicable, with both parties agreeing that the role was not the right fit. Kettler, a seasoned public relations professional, had accompanied Harry on several recent high-profile engagements, including his notable trip to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He also played a key role during the Sussexes’ visit to Nigeria.
Kettler has since returned to his home base in Santa Barbara, leaving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex without a key team member as they prepare for their summer trip to Colombia. The visit was announced by Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez, who expressed her excitement about hosting the royal couple.
“As the Vice President of Colombia and Minister of Equality and Equity, I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country,” Márquez said in a statement. She highlighted that during their visit, the Duke and Duchess would have the opportunity to engage with leaders, youth, and women who represent the aspirations and voices of Colombians dedicated to progress.
“In addition to these meaningful interactions, the Duke and Duchess will experience the rich heritage of Colombia,” Márquez added. The departure of Kettler comes at a critical time for Harry and Meghan, as they prepare for their Colombia trip, which has been described as part of their ongoing efforts to support global causes. The sudden change in their team raises questions about how the couple will navigate the challenges ahead as they continue to balance their public roles with their personal lives.
