Overview
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed that Meredith Maines and Method Communications have concluded their work, thanking them for their contributions.
- Maines served roughly 10 months, overseeing communications across the couple’s philanthropic, business and public profiles, and said she plans to pursue a new opportunity in 2026.
- The Sussexes are not expected to appoint a new chief communications officer, with Liam Maguire reported to take an expanded lead on communications across regions.
- Reporting indicates a new U.S. agency has been lined up to replace Method Communications for stateside support.
- Maines’ exit follows years of PR turnover, widely tallied as the couple’s 11th publicist change since 2020, and aligns with Archewell’s fiscal-sponsor transition that includes staff redundancies.
