Meghan Markle’s communications team has experienced another departure, with Emily Robinson leaving her position as director of communications after merely three months.
Ms Robinson, recruited from Netflix in June, becomes the tenth publicist to exit the Sussexes' employment within a five-year period.
Her departure occurred several weeks ago, according to sources, marking an unusually brief tenure for the communications professional who had established herself in the entertainment industry before joining Harry and Meghan's California-based operation.
