Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s string of staff keep quitting due to the “same impossible issue”, it has been claimed.

The couple, who now reside in the US, have seen Josh Kettler leave his position as Harry’s chief-of-staff after just three months in the job.

It has been understood that Mr Kettler was hired by Harry and Meghan on a trial basis and that it was a mutual decision for them to part ways.

Referring to his departure as “no surprise”, royal expert Tom Quinn has discussed the “problem” that has likely led to Mr Kettler’s exit – as well as the others that have joined and left their positions in recent years.

Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “In the years since Meghan and Harry married in 2018, they are estimated to have lost a staggering amount of key members of staff. One former employee told me the problem is that Meghan and Harry always assume that it is as easy to do something as it is to tell someone to do it. The couple hates being told something is just not possible.”

He added: “Kettler had been seen as having the golden touch. Harry believed his new chief of staff could reverse his declining popularity in the States and transform him into an internationally important figure. Anything less than that would not be acceptable.”

The expert shared that Mr Kettler’s exit as a “serious blow” for the couple, adding: “What makes Kettler’s departure really embarrassing for the royal couple is that word is beginning to get around and one or two people who have been approached by them have turned down the chance to work for them.

“The real issue is that Kettler’s departure reminds everyone that working for Meghan and Harry is a seemingly impossible task. They are just too demanding and always expect too much. Which is why Meghan has failed to appoint a chief executive for her internet cookery and lifestyle brand.”

Despite Mr Quinn’s comments, the PEOPLE reported that he was “hired on a trial basis” and that they made the decision to part ways, with “both sides agreeing it wasn’t the right fit”.
