The great media movement of Prince Harry and Meghan after the reaction of the photos

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made two new additions to their press team, hiring a public relations leader and a press secretary.

The couple have been building their American team before launching their Archewell charity, after losing their royal press staff when they left the monarchy.

So who have they chosen?

Former Pinterest communications director Christine Schirmer has been hired to lead its press team, and Toya Holness, a former soccer player and communications director, is her new press secretary.

As PRWeek reports, the new staff additions were confirmed by Harry and Meghan’s public relations firm Sunshine Sachs.

They have made the new hires to help them launch the Archewell charity, named after their son.

The news comes after the pair came under fire for previous media moves in recent weeks.

This week, critics criticized them for hiring a famous photographer to take photos of them putting up wreaths on Remembrance Day.

They were photographed placing flowers on the graves of two Commonwealth soldiers, one from the Royal Australian Air Force and one from the Royal Canadian Artillery.

Celebrity photographer Lee Morgan, who captured the photos, has previously worked with celebrities like Kanye West and Vogue magazine.

One of the critics included Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, who often speaks out against Meghan.

He wrote: “Just scandalous – treat Remembrance Sunday as a public relations opportunity.”

In response to another person on Twitter who defended the couple and suggested that he leave them alone, Morgan wrote: “If they wanted to be ‘left alone’, they wouldn’t do PR stunts every day to get media attention. “.

ITV News’ actual editor Chris Ship tweeted the photos, which also received a mixed response from those on social media.

“You really don’t understand the need for this photo shoot?” said a follower.

“Who takes a photographer to a cemetery?” asked another.

Others were more supportive: “Delighted to see you today paying your respects and it’s a shame it wasn’t at the Cenotaph in London. Keep up the good work Harry and Meghan,” wrote a royal observer.

Harry and Meghan’s Remembrance Day visit comes after Buckingham Palace allegedly “refused” permission to place a wreath in their name at the war memorial at the Cenotaph in London.

The Times reported that Harry personally made the request to Buckingham Palace, but was denied it by courtiers on the grounds that he no longer represents the monarchy since he left the royal family earlier this year.

The queen was reportedly not informed of her grandson’s request, and Harry was said to be “deeply saddened” by the rejection.

Rumor has it that these new hires will help the couple avoid future PR mistakes like this one.
