No longer bound by royal protocols, the Duke and Duchess are using the media to pour cold water on negative gossip about their behaviour. Nestled in the September 11 issue of The Hollywood Reporter , a trade magazine for the US film and television industries, was a short article entitled: “Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting on Harry and Meghan .” Described as “insider industry gossip”, the report provided a run-down of the comings and goings of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s staff, noting colloquially that “they’ve chewed up yet another American adviser” in the shape of Josh Kettler , who had spent a few months as Harry’s chief of staff before parting ways.
The article contained colourful descriptions of life working for the Sussexes . “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan ,” one anonymous source told the publication, claiming she “belittles people” and “doesn’t take advice”. A second quote described the Duchess marching around “like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders”.
