Meghan Markle has come under intense scrutiny following the abrupt resignation of her chief of staff, Josh Kettler, just before her and Prince Harry’s upcoming tour of Colombia. Kettler’s departure marks the 18th staff member to leave the Sussexes’ team since their marriage in 2018, raising questions about the stability and management within their ranks.
Prominent TV presenter Eamonn Holmes didn’t mince words when discussing the latest setback for Meghan. Speaking on GB News, Holmes expressed his skepticism about Meghan’s influence, despite her apparent desire to be a significant figure in public life. “I can’t think of a single thing Meghan has successfully impacted,” Holmes said, highlighting the perceived lack of tangible achievements from the Duchess of Sussex. “She wants people to respect her and what she does, but I can’t think of a single thing that she could talk about that would make someone influenced.”
Holmes’ harsh criticism was echoed by commentator Clare Muldoon, who questioned the Sussexes’ decision to visit Colombia—a country often associated with safety concerns—while they have previously cited the UK as unsafe for their family. “They don’t think Britain is safe enough for the two of them and the two children. But, of course, where do they go? Colombia,” Muldoon remarked. “It’s one of the most dangerous countries in the world—but it seems it’s actually quite dangerous to work for them, as well.”
Kettler’s resignation comes at a crucial time for the Sussexes, as they prepare for their high-profile tour in a country known for its complex security challenges. The departure of yet another key staff member adds to the growing narrative of internal instability within their team, casting a shadow over their forthcoming engagements.
The timing of this latest resignation and the growing chorus of public criticism raise significant questions about the future of Harry and Meghan’s endeavors and their ability to maintain a cohesive and effective team. As they embark on their Colombia tour, all eyes will be on how the Sussexes navigate these turbulent waters and whether they can regain control of their public image.
