Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Leadership Challenges Amid Royal Family Feud
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ongoing challenges have come to light as they continue to struggle with their strained relationship with the royal family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently facing difficulties in hiring a CEO for Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard after a former employee described them as “condescending.” Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have landed in further trouble following these claims from their ex-aide.
According to NewsNation, a former Archewell staff member revealed that Meghan can be “unbearable” and often “talks down to people.” This revelation comes on the heels of Prince Harry losing his Chief of Staff, Josh Kettler, after just three months in the role, marking the 18th staff member to leave the Sussex camp.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared her insights on the situation, stating, “I do think that they’re going to continue to have a hard time finding people that want to work underneath them. I’m intimidated just thinking about it.” Speaking to GB News, Schofield noted that a source also mentioned in Closer magazine that Harry and Meghan are “pretty tough” to work for.
Schofield continued, “It’s going to take somebody who’s really tough. It’s going to take somebody who realizes that there’s a rainbow at the end of the tunnel, and they just have to persevere. I don’t think I could do it.”
The Sussexes’ business relationship with Netflix also came under scrutiny. Schofield explained, “There are rumors that Netflix has said, ‘allow us to manage the retail strategy’ if she can’t manage to find a CEO or somebody willing to work with her. Netflix sees an opportunity there.” She suggested that Meghan could potentially reclaim her status as an influencer, a role she had before meeting Harry.
Host Eamonn Holmes added, “To be an influencer, people have got to want to be like you, and they’ve actually got to like her. Most people have to be liked or admired – she’ll have difficulty on both fronts.”
Schofield emphasized that the Sussexes’ declining popularity has been a significant issue in recent years. “Harry and Meghan believed their own hype when they said on that Netflix series that the reason they were ostracized was because they were much more popular than the British royals.
They were more popular than Prince William, more popular than Princess Kate, and their popularity has declined immensely. Now they are desperate to win people over again.” She concluded by noting that many royalists have turned away from supporting Harry and Meghan, feeling that the couple has been “cruel and toxic” towards the royal family in recent years.
