He explained: "Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced challenges retaining staff at their Archewell charitable foundation, with reports citing Meghan's behavior as a significant factor. Recent departures, including that of chief of staff Josh Kettler, highlight a broader trend of high turnover within their team.

"Since the couple began their journey together, a surprising number of 18 staff members have reportedly resigned." Levine pointed to a number of challenges the Sussexes seem to be facing.

He told us: "Observers suggest that Meghan's management style and expectations may contribute to a challenging working environment, leading to a revolving door of employees. Despite their philanthropic goals, maintaining a consistent and dedicated staff has proven difficult for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"The repeated staff changes could reflect internal issues that need to be addressed to foster a more stable and supportive workplace culture at Archewell." His comments come after a source described the staff exodus as "unprecedented".

"The brutal reality is Harry and Meghan are the toughest of taskmasters, they’re very demanding and difficult to work for and that puts a lot of people's backs up," the source told The Sun . One former staff member also said no one they knew would "take the job again if given the chance."

Speaking to the Daily Mail , they added: "These aren't employees they had just found off the streets. Many of them are people who had previously excelled working for demanding bosses."
