Overview
- Chief communications officer Meredith Maines resigned after roughly ten months and will stay through year-end to complete the handover, saying she will pursue a new role in 2026.
- A spokesperson confirmed that external agency Method Communications ended its cooperation with the couple at the same time.
- Communications responsibility will now be consolidated under Liam Maguire, the Sussexes’ director for Great Britain and Europe.
- Maines was photographed in London this summer with King Charles’s communications chief, a meeting British outlets framed as part of reconciliation efforts.
- The departure adds to a pattern that outlets count as about the eleventh PR exit in five years, following short stints such as Emily Robinson’s and earlier departures including Ashley Hansen.
