Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have unveiled a major staff shake-up after a tumultuous few months. The California-based couple have locked in Sarah Fosmo as their chief of staff and Lianne Cashin as their adviser, according to PEOPLE.
Sarah and Lianne have been appointed following a busy few months for the Duke, 40, and Duchess of Sussex, 43. Sarah - who previously worked for Bill Gates' office for nearly six years - has been appointed to oversee Meghan during a period of immense change and growth in her career.
In the past two months, Meghan has launched her Netflix show, 'With Love, Meghan', and her podcast, titled 'Confessions of a Female Founder'. The former working royal has also launched her lifestyle company, As Ever.
Meghan's major career moves and the pair's roles were announced after Harry's recent bombshell interview with the BBC. Following the news that Harry lost his appeal to reinstate security when he was in the UK, Harry sat down with interviewer Nada Tawfik.
In addition to releasing her own podcast, Meghan appeared on the IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima's podcast last month.
Lianne was previously an assistant to Josh Kettler, who was previously Harry’s former chief of staff. He left the position after a three-month trial period. She also used to be a personal assistant to Shaun White.
According to her LinkedIn, Sarah is said to have left Bill Gates' office in December 2024 - the same month that she joined Meghan and Harry.
Her profile describes her as an "accomplished professional with an extensive, long-tenured career managing complex, high-stakes operations for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs)" - as well as someone who is "trusted with confidential matters."
Meghan and Harry's former chief of staff, named Catherine St-Laurent, also previous worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Catherine previously described working for Meghan and Harry as an "incredible experience" during an interview with The Cut in 2021.
