Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Latest Decision Backfires: Shooting Themselves in the Foot

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced criticism for their alleged misstep in hiring a new communications executive ahead of the Duke's highly-anticipated visit to the UK. According to reports, Charlie Gipson and Kyle Boulia have been appointed as communications executives by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Gipson will serve as the Director of Communications based in the UK, acting as the primary point of contact for the British press.

Royal reporter Charlotte Griffiths, in a conversation with Ben Leo on GB News, expressed disapproval of the couple's decision, deeming it unwise. She questioned the appointment of someone without prior experience in dealing with tabloid media, suggesting that Gipson might struggle and face intense scrutiny. Griffiths characterized the hiring as surprising in a negative sense.

Griffiths also highlighted the couple's history of high staff turnover, having reportedly lost 17 employees in just six years. While she aimed to avoid starting off on the wrong foot with Charlie Gipson, she shared the concerns raised by a friend who predicted that he might not last long in the role.

It has been reported that Charlie Gipson will handle media-related inquiries in the UK on behalf of Meghan and Harry. The couple's decision to enhance their reputation in the UK was purportedly a driving factor behind this move. The Duke is scheduled to travel to Britain to attend an event in May.
