Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are under fire for their recent recruitment decision, with critics suggesting it may backfire as the Duke prepares for his upcoming visit to the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have allegedly appointed Charlie Gipson and Kyle Boulia as communications executives, with Gipson taking on the role of Director of Communications, based in the UK.
Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths, in a conversation with Ben Leo on GB News, expressed skepticism about the appointment, citing Gipson's lack of experience in dealing with tabloid media.
Griffiths criticized the move, calling it "unwise," and warned that Gipson might struggle in the face of intense media scrutiny. She remarked, "He's going to get eaten by the wolves. I think it's a surprise appointment and not in a good way."
Highlighting the couple's previous turnover of staff, Griffiths raised concerns about the longevity of Gipson's tenure. She cited feedback from an acquaintance suggesting doubts about Gipson's ability to endure the pressures of the role.
Gipson is expected to handle media inquiries in the UK on behalf of Meghan and Harry, with the couple purportedly aiming to bolster their reputation in the country ahead of the Duke's visit in May.
The decision has sparked debate, with critics questioning the wisdom of the appointment and its potential impact on the couple's image in the UK.
