Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s longest-serving staffer has decided to leave ,and their entire brand is under threat as per Page Six.
“They’ve essentially shuttered Archewell,” a source told us the outlet that the news broke Monday that James Holt is stepping down as chief of their charity, Archewell.
“After five incredible years in Los Angeles, it’s time for my family to return to London,” the businessman told PEOPLE in a statement.
“When I pass the baton to the team leading Archewell Philanthropies in the coming months, I’ll do so with immense pride and optimism for what lies ahead,” Holt added.
“I’ll miss my colleagues deeply, and I’m grateful to Harry and Meghan for everything they’ve done — for me, and for the countless people we’ve worked to support.”
Harry and Markle also praised Holt’s “stellar support” following almost a decade of service and told, “His enthusiasm and talent in overseeing our philanthropic endeavours have been extraordinary.”
Now, Page Six has revealed that Holt’s long-time counterpart, Archewell VP Shauna Nep, is not even a full-time employee, but is working on a “consultant” basis.
In addition to this, there are just a few employees left on Harry and Markle’s production business — and they could lose more staffers if Markle’s show, “With Love, Meghan,” is not brought back for another season.
“Anyone still there is simply an enabler, enamored with what the couple once was, not who they are today,” claimed one industry source familiar with the Sussexes. “From a year ago, they have decreased their staff by at least 80-85 percent.”
