In the past five years,
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly gone through 10 publicists.
"It must be quite chaotic working for the Sussexes. They've lost so many staff. It's not that the staff stay for any length of time, they seem to make very brief appearances and then leave," royal expert
Ingrid Seward told
The Sun. "It's obvious the job they're expected to do is not the job they imagined they would have."

"And it looks to me as if Megan is disagreeing with what they imagined (the Sussexes) should be doing. It seems to me that Meghan wants to control everything, so they certainly make some quite major PR errors," Ingrid Seward continued.
During
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's time in the royal family, the latter was accused of bullying staff.
The
Suits star called the assertion a "calculated smear campaign," but staffing issues continue to follow Meghan years later.

Emily Robinson, who previously worked at Netflix, was brought on as the director of communications for
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but the role was short-lived.
"It was her decision. She left a few weeks ago," a source close to Robinson told
Daily Mail. "She's not a quitter, so things must have been pretty horrible for her to go."

A spokesperson for
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle addressed Emily Robinson's departure.
"Ms. Robinson oversaw project-based work for a very successful season of
With Love, Meghan and additional support for the production company," they told
E! News in a statement. "She did an excellent job and completed these projects with great success."

Despite Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry's sentiments, Emily Robinson's absence continues to fuel speculation about the Sussexes' ability to lead.
"I think it has to stem from Megan's personality, because she's the big boss. I'm trying to think of a reason that she would be very hard to work with. She interferes, she gives out the wrong message," Ingrid Seward said. "I think they've got to be more low-key. PR isn't always about getting people out there. Some of the best PR keep people out of the news."

"I think they should be keeping out of the news, stop accepting humanitarian awards that nobody really understands what they're for," Ingrid Seward suggested. "They should just try and lead the life they said they wanted to, which was more of a private life."
