Trigger happy Prince Harry, Meghan Markle are in a bind and liable to hit DEFCON 1 in New Year
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again been locked in a situation with their publicist as the New Year comes to light
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s New Year has started off with the wrong kind of bang as their struggles over finding a publicist mounts.
Calling it a ‘PR nightmare’ celebrity news reporter Rob Shuter delivered this news and it highlights how bad their situation is now that “top American PR firms are refusing to take the Sussexes on altogether” reportedly.
He shared this revelation over on his substack and quotes a former staffer who attempted to explain that “the job isn’t hard because of the press. It’s hard because of the principals.”
Because on their own “Harry and Meghan are impossible to satisfy, and their expectations constantly shift.”
Even their most recent PR person, Meredith Maines, who is considered a veteran in her field resigned after only 10 months in the Sussexes’ employment which she’s chalked up to “high-pressure, chaotic environment” according to the reporter.
Even a separate but well placed source explains that many a renowed agencies have even gone as far as to completely turn down their account, outright.
They also cite similar reasons according to Mr Shuter, as one puts it “they’re difficult and, frankly, cheap.”
“Kardashians and Beyoncé spend a fortune on PR; Harry and Meghan expect the same results for a fraction of the budget.”
They have even been pushed towards looking at London, at their existing communications strategist Liam Maguire.
In doing so “they’re cutting costs by eliminating a senior American salary,” an insider revealed. “But running a California-based operation from London brings huge challenges, including time zone issues and burnout risks.”
While its true that “a competent PR can survive bad headlines. They can’t survive clients who won’t listen or demand you push false narratives. That’s the Sussex problem,” they concluded by saying.
