Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are returning to familiar territory by reuniting with a publicist they previously worked with.
Page Six can confirm that the couple is once again working with Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis (SSML), a venerated, bicoastal public relations firm that also reps Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck.
The Sussexes will be working in tandem with their internal team, which includes Liam Maguire, the pairâs director of communications in the UK and Europe.
The royal duo has long held a close relationship with SSML.
The firm repped Markle during her acting years on âSuitsâ and has partnered with the actress and her beau on projects since 2017.
Keleigh Thomas Morgan, one of the firmâs co-presidents, even attended Markle and Harryâs royal wedding in May 2018.
Markle, 44, and the Invictus Games founder, 41, have struggled to retain publicists since they quit the royal family and decamped to North America in 2020.
Last December, their 11th publicist, Meredith Maines, resigned after the coupleâs brouhaha following their appearance at Kris Jennerâs 70th birthday party.
An insider told us that the drama with the Kardashians was the âfinal strawâ for Maines.
Kim Kardashian and Jenner mysteriously deleted photos they had taken with the Sussexes on Instagram.
Markle and Harry were criticized for attending the ostentatious bash, held at Jeff Bezos and Lauren SĂĄnchezâs $175 million Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion, where they mingled with A-listers, including Jay-Z, BeyoncĂ©, Bill Gates, Paris Hilton, Tyler Perry, Ciara, Mark Zuckerberg and many more.
A source told Page Six that the âSpareâ author and the actressâs rep asked Jenner and Kardashian, 45, to remove Instagram photos of them at the party.
âThey donât want to piss off the royal family while they are trying to reconcile,â a source said.
The duo has also recently lost other staff members.
Last month, James Holt, the chief of the Sussexesâ charity, Archewell Philanthropies, announced he was stepping down.
Holtâs departure follows that of former Archewell senior staffers Genevieve Roth, Christine Schirmer and Ashley Hansen.
