The couple announced the news to their employees last month, following their decision to leave their post as senior members of the British royal family. Some of the dismissed workers could continue to work at Buckingham Palace, but most are currently negotiating their severance packages.
“Given their decision to move away from royal life, an office at Buckingham Palace is no longer necessary,” writes the “Daily Mail.” “The details are still being finalized and efforts are being made to redeploy the employees within the royal house. But unfortunately, there will be some layoffs. ”
“The team understands and respects the decision”
Among the dismissed employees are the couple’s communications director, Sara Latham, and their recently hired private secretary, Fiona Mcilwham. The contract for Clara Loughran, the assistant who delivered her bouquet to Meghan on her wedding day, was also terminated.
“The Duke and Duchess have a small team, less than 15 people. The team is very loyal to the Sussexes and understands and respects the decision they made, “said the source. “They are all close and support each other. The team is busy helping to prepare for the future of Their Royal Highnesses and working on a series of final engagements. “
