Meghan and Harry End Publicist Partnership After Months
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have ended their partnership with another publicist, Emily Robinson, after a brief four-month tenure. Robinson joined as the communications director for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May. During her career, she previously served as the Senior Director of Publicity at Netflix and is recognized as the tenth publicist hired by the royal couple in five years.
Recent Developments in Sussex Communications
Robinson’s departure, confirmed by a spokesperson, came after she oversaw project-based work for Markle’s lifestyle series, *With Love, Meghan*. This show premiered on Netflix and featured two successful seasons with eight episodes. A Christmas special is set to release this December.
- Robinson left her position a few weeks ago.
- Sources suggest her departure followed difficult circumstances.
- She is currently the President of RobComms, an independent firm.
Robinson’s resume includes significant roles at The History Channel and Discovery Channel. However, her LinkedIn profile does not reflect her time with the Sussexes. Notably, a friend mentioned that Robinson’s exit was unexpected, indicating a challenging work environment.
Previous Staffing Changes
The couple has experienced multiple staffing changes this year. Deesha Tank, who held the communications director role before Robinson, left in June after over three years of service. Additionally, communications chiefs Charlie Gipson and Kyle Boulia parted ways with the couple under controversial circumstances, allegedly due to their inability to manage negative media coverage.
The current communications team for Meghan and Harry includes:
- Liam Maguire – Director of Communications in Europe
- Meredith Maines – Chief Communications Officer in Los Angeles
Moreover, former publicists James Holt and Miranda Barbot have transitioned to non-public relations roles following recent promotions.
This latest development reflects ongoing turbulence in the couple’s public relations strategy as they continue to navigate their post-royal career.
