Resignation of Sussexes' Chief of Staff Raises Questions Ahead of Colombia Tour
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making a calculated move to shift focus to their upcoming tour of Colombia following the unexpected resignation of their chief of staff, Josh Kettler, just three months into his role. Sources close to the couple described the departure as a result of a "mutual disagreement," though it has raised eyebrows given that Kettler is the 18th employee to leave their service.
Royal correspondent Cameron Walker, speaking to GB News, suggested that Harry and Meghan are now focused on "pushing forward the narrative" surrounding their visit to Colombia, despite the setback. Walker questioned the timing of Kettler’s resignation, especially so soon before their South American tour, hinting at underlying issues in the couple’s working relationships.
Walker also noted that managing the fallout from this resignation will be a "huge challenge" for the remaining staff, as the Sussexes strive to present their tour as "all happy and nice." The visit is being positioned as an "unofficial royal tour" aimed at highlighting online security for children. However, the royal expert cautioned that the trip might be overshadowed by the controversy of Kettler's abrupt departure, casting a shadow over their efforts to maintain a positive public image.
