re: Prince Harry & Meghan Ditch PR Firm & Check For NEW Home in US
Prince Harry and Meghan Ditch PR Firm That Helped Them Start a New Life in The US
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have ditched the PR firm Sunshine Sachs, which has been advising the Duchess of Sussex since her days as an actress on the legal drama Suits
Daily Mirror UK 3 OCT 2022
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly ditched their PR firm.
New York-based Sunshine Sachs has represented the Duchess of Sussex since her acting days.
The firm helped Harry and Meghan start a new life in America after they stepped down as senior royals in 2020.
Sunshine Sachs partner Keleigh Thomas Morgan apparently shared her key California contacts with the couple when they crossed the Atlantic.
And Ms Morgan's pal American filmmaker Tyler Perry allowed Harry and Meghan to stay in his home when they first moved to LA.
A source told the Daily Mail: "This is a really big deal for Meghan. She takes the view that she doesn't need to pay an outside firm a lot of money to do PR for her and Harry anymore."
Ms Morgan, who is friends with Meghan, also helped orchestrate the couple's successful African royal tour in 2019.
Christine Schirmer, head of communications at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's charity Archewell, will now handle publicity for the couple.
It comes after sources said Harry and Meghan were desperate to edit their Netflix show and memoir following the Queen’s death.
The couple have been working on a docuseries as part of a multi-million dollar Netflix deal.
However, it's thought the bombshell series, that was rumoured to air sometime in November or December, could be pushed back to next year as Harry and Meghan want to make edits.
Meanwhile, Harry’s explosive memoir, originally scheduled for release in November, has already been pushed back until next year.
The couple have had a hand in the editing process of the series so far but, following the Queen's death earlier this month, want to scale back some of the comments made about the likes of King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla and William and Kate, the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
“A lot of conversations are happening. I hear that Harry and Meghan want the series to be held until next year, they want to stall," one source told Page Six.
“I wonder if the show could even be dead in the water at this point, do Harry and Meghan just want to shelve this thing?”
Harry's memoir has been pushed back to next year following Her Majesty's death
On Harry's memoir, an insider told The Sun on Sunday that the publishers, Penguin Random House, paid £18.4million up front for the book, but were "disappointed" by the first draft because it apparently focused on mental health issues more than they wanted.
They added that the Duke of Sussex is "desperate" to get the book "refined" in the light of his grandmother's passing, but warned that it "might be too late".
It was previously claimed by a royal expert that King Charles hoped the Queens' funeral would "convince Harry and Meghan to accept the olive branch" offered by the family.
