Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a significant change to their team as they prepare for an important milestone in their professional journey.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have appointed Meredith Maines as their new Chief of Communications, following the departure of Ashley Hansen. Maines, who has previously worked with Google, Hulu, and American Idol, will officially begin her role on March 3rd, just one day before the release of With Love, Meghan on Netflix.
Expressing her excitement about joining the Sussexes' team, Maines said:
"I am honoured to partner with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to highlight the amazing work they are doing through Archewell, their broader business portfolio, and nonprofit work."
The appointment comes at a crucial time, as Meghan’s new series is expected to receive both public anticipation and critical scrutiny.
Hansen, who had been a key member of the couple’s communications team, announced her departure last year to establish her own firm. Meghan publicly expressed her support, stating:
"My husband and I are excited to be alongside Ashley as she builds something extraordinarily special with her firm."
Hansen, in turn, shared her appreciation for the Sussexes, calling her time with them "the opportunity of a lifetime."
With this transition, Prince Harry and Meghan are strengthening their team as they enter a new phase of their ventures, ensuring a solid strategy for public engagement and media relations.
