Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have gotten some bad press over the years, which means finding a good publicist is important. However, news just broke that the Sussex’s most recent publicist, Meredith Maines, quit her role as Chief Communications Officer of Archewell Philanthropies last week, making her the 11th publicist that Archewell has hired and subsequently lost.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Publicist Quits
Reports of Meghan Markle not being the easiest to work for have followed her around since she was a full royal, but it's hard to dismiss these claims as rumors when evidence like your 11th publicist quitting comes to light. According to an insider, Meredith Maines resigned just before Christmas and is planning to help with the transition through the new year.
Another source reported that the drama following Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party is what pushed Maines over the edge. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the star-studded bash (which happened to take place on Remembrance Day, an important holiday in the UK), both the birthday girl and Kim Kardashian posted photos with Harry and Meghan, but quickly took the photos down. Though the Sussex's didn't put out an official statement as to why, it's widely known that they requested the photos of them be deleted.
Social Media Reactions
Social media users reacted with disbelief over the news of Maines leaving: "Sorry, 11th?" one person asked on Instagram. "That seems like a lot of turnover."
"No one can last in a toxic environment," another person said, while a third simply commented five red flag emojis.
"They must not be very nice," another user wrote. "Says a lot about them. Sad."
"There's something seriously wrong with Meghan," one person wrote. "She must also be a bad person if no one can stand her."
"Queen of mean strikes again!" added another.
"Publicists were meant to handle crises, not Meghan Markle," a final user posted.
