Meghan Markle’s mass employee exits spark warning about deeper issue that’s at play

There is a deeper issue at play, in regards to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s inability to keep their staff turnover low, an expert has just claimed.

PR expert Mayah Riaz is the one who pointed this all out in her interview alongside The Mirror and explained that “from a PR perspective, a high turnover in comms almost always signals a deeper structural issue rather than a run of bad hires.”

Not to mention, “in environments like Meghan and Harry’s, the pressure is uniquely intense. Every move is global, politicised and emotionally loaded.”

A source even came forward to the Daily Mail and noted how bad Meredith’s departure from the Firm looked while saying, “her tenure has been an absolute disaster. If she did in fact quit then she's getting out to save face before it gets worse... She's telling others that she is helping with the transition but this does not scream amicable to me.”

In terms of the exact reason she admitted, “what stands out to me is the constant tension between control and credibility. When clients want to micromanage narrative, react emotionally to coverage, or pivot strategy frequently, it creates an impossible working environment.” Furthermore “You end up with staff who are firefighting rather than strategically steering, and burnout follows quickly.”

But that is not all, because on the consumer end, “to the public it looks like brand confusion. Are they distancing themselves from celebrity culture or leaning into it? Internally, moments like that can spark real conflict if comms teams are trying to uphold one positioning while the principals make choices that undermine it,” he went as far as to say.

Because imperative to understand that “once trust erodes, comms teams feel exposed. No PR professional wants to be blamed for optics they did not create or decisions they did not sign off. If you’re burning through communicators, the message is not the problem - the ecosystem is.”

And “PR teams are mirrors,” she also pointed out. “They reflect leadership style, decision-making and emotional temperature. Without that, even the best PR people in the world will struggle to stay,” she concluded by saying too.
