Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have seen four more staff members leave their team, marking the latest round of departures from their private office.
Deputy press secretary Kyle Boulia, based in Los Angeles, and UK press officer Charlie Gipson have both exited their roles, alongside at least two other team members who have departed in recent weeks.
The staff changes follow the couple's appointment of Meredith Kendall Maines as Chief Communications Officer at the beginning of the year, signalling a restructuring of their communications approach.
Boulia, who previously worked as a corporate communications manager at United Talent Agency, and Gipson, a former brand manager at global communications firm Edelman, joined the Sussex team in April 2024.

During their tenure, they supported several high-profile engagements, including the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, the couple's Nigeria visit in April 2024, and their Colombia trip in August last year.
The departures coincide with new appointments to the Sussex communications team.
Emily Robinson has been hired as director of communications, bringing experience from her previous role as senior publicity director at Netflix, where she managed publicity for programmes including The Crown.
The Sussexes have also engaged Method Communications to support their media operations.
Kyle Boulia was the couple's deputy press secretary.

Maines explained to Hello! the rationale behind the organisational changes: "As the Duke and Duchess's business and philanthropic interests grow, I have made the strategic decision to move toward a more traditional communications structure of specialist agency support, as previously reported in Forbes and PR Week several weeks ago."
She added: "Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access, and critically, faster response times to inquiries."
The restructuring comes amid scrutiny of recent media decisions, including Prince Harry's BBC interview following his High Court security case defeat last month and a video shared by Meghan showing the couple in a maternity suite before Princess Lilibet's birth.
Charlie Gipson was the couple's UK press officer.
