1. Prince Harry and Megan Markle have sacked all 15 of their UK staff and closed their Buckingham Palace office.
It’s official. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly fired all 15 of their UK-based staff and closed their Buckingham Palace office as they prepare for their move to Canada.
The news was reported by the Daily Mail and states their staff have been aware since January, with the couple delivering the news in person. While some might continue working for the royal household in another capacity, it’s believed most will be negotiating redundancy packages.
The members of staff affected include Prince Harry’s long-serving programme co-ordinator Clara Loughran, who handed Meghan her bouquet on her wedding day and the couple’s communications chief, Sara Latham, who previously worked for the Obamas and Hilary Clinton as a senior campaign adviser.
