Last week, the royal watchers were stunned when Meghan’s chief of staff, Josh Kettler, quit his high-profile role. His departure marks the ninth employee to leave the Archewell organization since the Sussexes arrived in the U.S., bringing the total number of staff departures to 18. That’s a significant turnover for a company meant to promote family-friendly values and charitable causes.
So, why is this happening? According to my source, who worked closely with Meghan and Harry, it’s Meghan. She’s reportedly “unbearable” to work with, often talking down to people in a condescending manner. For instance, a photographer interviewed by the Daily Beast, who shot their wedding, recalled how excited they were to be involved. They prepared mood boards and visited Kensington Palace to present them. However, when Meghan walked in, she reportedly took one look, sneered, said “no” in the meanest way possible, spun on her heel, and walked out, leaving the photographer in tears.
Similarly, a florist revealed that they were “monstered” by Meghan after posting a simple message on social media, trying to source flowers for a bouquet Meghan had requested. The florist vowed never to work with Meghan again, despite the prestige associated with such a high-profile client. It’s as if Meghan is pretending to be of noble birth, yet those who truly are don’t treat their staff this way.
I’ve spoken to other sources who echo these sentiments. I invite anyone who has worked with Meghan to reach out. I won’t burn bridges or reveal identities; I’m simply trying to uncover the truth behind these stories. If you have a good or bad story to share, you can always reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter—my DMs are open.
Now, let’s talk about this Colombia trip. It’s a bizarre move and likely a significant reason why Josh Kettler left. This self-styled royal tour of Colombia—an area now plagued with drug violence and kidnappings—raises serious questions about the couple’s judgment. The U.S. State Department still advises extreme caution when traveling to Colombia due to the high threat of violent crime and terrorism. The Sussexes have previously claimed that the UK is unsafe for them, yet they now deem Colombia, a country with considerable security risks, as acceptable.
Recently, they visited Nigeria, another high-risk country, where they were welcomed by Dr. Allen, a dignitary now under federal indictment for bank fraud. Despite the defense from their camp that the trip was organized by the Nigerian chief of defense, it raises questions about their judgment and the company they keep.
In Colombia, they were invited by Vice President Francia Marquez to participate in events, including a forum on cyberbullying and a visit to a school in Bogotá to interact with students about the digital landscape. They were also set to attend a forum on promoting safe digital environments, organized by Colombia’s vice presidency and Carnegie Mellon University, in partnership with Meghan’s Archewell Foundation.
However, this trip has been met with skepticism. A national security contributor from News Nation called it “laughable,” citing the U.S. State Department’s warning against traveling to Colombia due to crime, terrorism, and kidnapping. Despite the likely provision of security by Colombia, it remains a risky destination.
