Meghan Markle’s Press Secretary Leaves Following “BULLYING” Allegations

Ashley Hansen, who served as global press secretary for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has announced her departure from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s team to launch her own public relations firm. Hansen, who worked with the couple for over two years, will continue to represent and advise them through her newly established Los Angeles-based consultancy firm, Three Gate Strategies.

The Sussexes will remain key clients of Hansen’s firm, which will specialize in communications and brand management for high-profile individuals across sectors such as entertainment, technology, and finance. Hansen’s transition comes after she publicly defended Meghan in response to a critical article in The Hollywood Reporter, which labeled Meghan as “Duchess Difficult.” The report claimed that Meghan reduced staff to tears and was known for being demanding in the workplace. In defending her former boss, Hansen expressed her deep appreciation for the couple, noting the personal support Meghan and Harry showed her during a challenging time, including sending her flowers and checking on her recovery after surgery.

Meghan, in a statement, expressed her pride in Hansen’s entrepreneurial journey, saying, “We are so proud of Ashley, especially as a female entrepreneur.” She added that they look forward to having Hansen’s “focused expertise” on their business and creative projects while continuing her oversight of their communications team. Prince Harry also joined Meghan in expressing excitement about Hansen’s next chapter, noting their ongoing support for her new venture.

Hansen’s decision to step away comes as the latest in a series of departures from the Sussexes’ team, following the resignation of chief of staff Josh Kettler earlier this year. Despite her departure, Hansen’s continued association with the couple signals a positive working relationship. The establishment of Three Gate Strategies was reportedly inspired by inquiries from other potential clients seeking the high-level counsel Hansen provided to the Duke and Duchess.

Her company’s name, Three Gate Strategies, is derived from a quote by the Persian poet Rumi, who suggested that before speaking, words should pass through three gates: “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”

And many people have speculated that the name she chose is actually a dig about Markle’s bullying…

Hansen’s decision to venture out on her own is the latest development in the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding Meghan and Harry. The Hollywood Reporter article, which depicted Meghan as a demanding boss and criticized the couple for their indecisiveness, triggered strong reactions from their loyal staff. Hansen was among several current and former employees who refuted the negative claims, insisting that the couple treated their staff with kindness and respect.

As Hansen embarks on this new phase of her career, the Sussexes’ team continues to undergo transitions, but their support for Hansen’s entrepreneurial journey highlights the mutual respect between them and their former press secretary.

Meghan Markle just can’t keep any company, can she? The royals couldn’t stand her, the British people couldn’t stand her, and now us Americans…don’t want her back.
