For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the timing could not be much worse. Josh Kettler, their chief of staff, has left the job after just three months in the role and only days before the couple embark on a high-profile quasi-royal tour of Colombia. According to People magazine, known to be sympathetic to the Sussexes, Kettler had been “hired on a trial basis” and “the decision to part ways was mutual, with both sides agreeing it wasn’t the right fit”.
This week Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43, will be the official guests of Colombia. Its vice-president, Francia Marquez, said she hoped the Sussexes’ visit would “further illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation”.
