Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a> have reconnected with old PR representatives, following the resignation of their most recent publicist.<\/a><\/p>\n

The pair will once again be working with Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis (SSML), the public relations firm behind Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> and Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n

They will be working in conjunction with their internal communications team in the UK and Europe, spearheaded by director Liam Maguire.<\/p>\n

The firm first represented Meghan<\/a> during the height of her Suits days, \ufeffalso partnering with her and Prince Harry on various projects over the years.<\/p>\n

Co-president of the firm, Keleigh Thomas Morgan<\/a>, even attended the pair’s wedding ceremony in 2018.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have notoriously struggled to retain publicists since their royal departure for American shores in 2020.\ufeff<\/p>\n

In December last year, the pair’s 11th publicist resigned following their debacle at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party.<\/p>\n

The Sussexes faced online criticism after they were featured in pictures posted of the ostentatious bash<\/a>, held at Jeff Bezo’s $175 Million Beverly Hills mansion.<\/p>\n

They were reportedly averse to the photos of them mingling with Hollywood A-listers being posted, wishing to avoid drawing the ire of the royal family amid rumoured efforts to reconcile.<\/p>\n

Page Six<\/a> reported that the pair’s now ex-publicist Meredith Maine requested that the Kardashians remove all photos that included the Duke and Duchess.<\/p>\n

This allegedly proved the final straw for Maine, who resigned not long after.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Us Magazine in December, Maine said “After a year of inspiring work with Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Archewell, I will be pursuing a new opportunity in 2026.<\/p>\n

“I have the utmost gratitude and respect for the couple and the team, and the good work they are doing in the world.”<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess have also cut ties with Method Communications.<\/p>\n

“Meredith Maines and Method Communications have concluded their work with Archewell<\/a>. The Duke and Duchess are grateful for their contributions and wish them well,” a spokesman for the couple told the outlet.<\/p>\n

And she is just the latest departure amid high staff turnover in recent times.<\/p>\n

Just last month, Executive Director of Archewell Philanthropies James Holt announced his resignation from the company, following the axing of multiple senior staffers from the pair’s foundation.<\/p>\n

“The move toward a philanthropic fiscal sponsor operating model does mean that some staff redundancies are inevitable, particularly with junior admin roles,” a spokesperson said, per Daily Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n
