Prince Harry and Meghan Markle End Work With CCO and PR Firm Method Communications

The Sussexes, who stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020 and have since developed business, media, and philanthropic ventures, have experienced significant turnover in their communications team over the past five years, with Maines often cited as the eleventh publicist to leave their orbit in that period. In lieu of appointing a new chief communications officer, Liam Maguire, currently the Sussexes’ communications director for the UK and Europe, is expected to take on expanded responsibilities overseeing media relations and messaging. Industry observers have noted that the frequent changes in Harry and Meghan’s communications leadership — including recent exits and restructuring within their nonprofit Archewell operations — reflect ongoing efforts to refine how the couple positions themselves publicly amid evolving media and public attention. Moving forward, reports suggest the Sussexes may bring in a new U.S.‑focused communications partner to replace Method Communications, though formal announcements on that front have not yet been made. The shakeup comes as the couple prepares for their 2026 projects and continues to balance their personal brand, business interests, and charitable work on the global stage.
