 "Harry-Meghan latest update")
You understand there is a problem in an organisation or institution when staffs quit frequently. Remember Valentine Low, who broke the story about bullying allegations made against the Duchess of Sussex in a book titled ‘Courtiers’
According to a report published in PEOPLE, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are losing their director of communications four months after she took on the role. Emily Robinson joined Harry and Meghan’s team in late May.
It was she who oversaw project-based work for a very successful season of Netflix’s With Love, Meghan and additional support for the production company. The spokesperson emphasized according to the report that Robinson completed the projects “with great success.”
What has happened in the past regarding change of staff?
Now, the question is how the frequent change of staff has been a very scenario with Harry and Meghan. The Daily Mail also reported that Emily is among several communications staffers who have exited the Sussexes’ team in recent years. Last year, their global press secretary and head of communications, Ashley Hansen, also parted ways with the couple as she launched her own communications firm.
Why Meghan faced criticism?
According to the PEOPLE report, Robinson’s announcement comes just weeks after Meghan faced criticism during Paris Fashion Week, after sharing a video on Instagram showing herself riding through the city. People said that the click was insensitive and appeared to have been filmed near the Pont de l’Alma tunnel, where Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died at age 36 in 1997.
Meghan Markle’s bullying habit
In the past too Firstpost had written about how Meghan Markle had a toxic habit of bullying staff. Meghan Markle frequently bullied palace aides.
According to reports in the past, the investigation against the couple, Harry and Meghan shows that they have not treated the staff well. Valentine Low, who broke the story about bullying allegations made against the Duchess of Sussex, wrote a book title ‘Courtiers’, “And they thought if they put that out there, the Sussexes would be furious and would come back with something. So they’d rather take a bit of criticism from the media for not being very open with us than have get into another fight with Harry with Meghan.”
Emily Robinson is believed to have resigned on her own accord, a friend of hers raised questions about the treatment she received at work. “It was her decision. She left a few weeks ago,” the friend told the Daily Mail.
“She’s not a quitter, so things must have been pretty horrible for her to go,” they added.
