James Holt Steps Down From Archewell Leadership, Plans Return to U.K.

He will serve as a philanthropic adviser following a period of staff turnover at Archewell.

Overview

  • James Holt confirmed he is leaving his day-to-day role leading the Sussexes’ Archewell organization after nearly a decade working with the couple.
  • He said his family will move back to London after five years in Los Angeles, calling the transition a proud handover over the coming months.
  • Archewell sources say Holt will remain involved as a senior adviser for Archewell Philanthropies, including guidance on future humanitarian trips.
  • Holt previously led communications for Meghan and Harry before shifting in 2021 into operational leadership and co-directing the foundation.
  • His exit coincides with reported departures of other senior staff, including program lead Kristen Slevin, and followed his absence from a November team photo that had prompted speculation.
