Sussexes lose 11th publicist in five years

The Sussexes have simultaneously parted ways with US-based PR firm Method Communications after just seven months. The company pitches itself as an organisation that “challenges the status quo”.
A spokesman for Archewell, the couple’s foundation, told multiple news outlets: “Meredith Maines and Method Communications have concluded their work with Archewell.
“The Duke and Duchess are grateful for their contributions and wish them well.”
The couple are believed to have found an agency to replace Method Communications’ role in the US, according to The Sun.
The outlet reported that the couple are unlikely to hire a replacement for Ms Maines and will use Liam Maguire, their UK and Europe communications director, as lead instead.
Ms Maines was thrust into the spotlight in July after she was pictured outside a Mayfair private members’ club alongside senior aides working for the King, as both Royal households took the first steps towards repairing a relationship that has been almost non-existent in recent years.
The Sussexes were understood to be frustrated after details of the meeting were leaked to the press, denying they were behind it.
