Josh Kettler resigned as the chief of staff for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after just three months on the job.
The couple face challenges in retaining senior staff members, with at least 18 staff leaving since their marriage in 2018.
Notable departures include their chief of staff, chief operating officer, heads of marketing, content, audio, press secretary, executive director, founding director, and private secretary.
Meghan Markle has been described as intimidating and bullying towards staff, with allegations of reducing aides to tears and comforted by Prince William.
Some former staff members, such as Jason Knauf, filed bullying complaints against Meghan, and staff working with Meghan reportedly call themselves 'The Sussex Survivors Club'.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were expected to visit Colombia, including stops in Bogota, Cartagena, and Cali, to promote safer digital environments, engage with leaders, youth, and women, and participate in activities related to the World Ministerial Conference on the Elimination of Violence Against Children.
The Sussexes' U.S. operation seems to be in trouble as key members leaving for greener pastures are not easily replaced due to a negative reputation.
The departure of Kettler, an experienced executive accelerator, organizer, and confidant who started in May and accompanied the Sussexes on official visits, is seen as a major embarrassment.
Other notable departures include Catherine St-Laurent, James Holt, and Mandana Dayani from the Archewell Foundation.
Meghan has faced difficulties in appointing a chief executive for her internet cookery and lifestyle brand due to the demanding nature of the role.
