Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s top aide, James Holt, has resigned from his position at their organization, Archewell. Holt, who had been the couple’s PR chief since 2019, decided to step down to focus more on working closely with the Sussexes on their charitable projects. He had accompanied them to California when they transitioned away from their royal duties in 2020.
During his tenure, Holt also featured in the couple’s Netflix series, “Harry & Meghan,” where he highlighted the impact of Brexit on Meghan and the challenges she faced. Sources indicate that Holt’s decision to leave is driven by a desire to spend more time with his family in London. However, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with Prince Harry and Meghan, citing it as a major highlight of his career.
In a statement, Holt praised Prince Harry for consistently pushing him to think bigger on how to make a difference. He also commended Meghan for her resilience and positivity in challenging situations. Despite his departure, Holt will continue to serve as a senior philanthropic advisor to the couple and their charitable foundation, Archewell Philanthropies.
The news of Holt’s resignation comes amidst a period of transition for the Sussexes, with the departure of other key personnel, including the Director of Programs and Operations. Records show that Holt received $245,000 from Archewell last year and played a crucial role in overseeing the organization’s activities. Despite the changes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed appreciation for Holt’s contributions and confirmed that he would still be involved in guiding their humanitarian initiatives.
