Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's advisor makes big change

Their closest advisor, James Holt, is making a career change - and it will look very different.
According to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden, James will be returning to UK politics and the Liberal Democrat Party under Sir Ed Dacey as Political Director.
"This opportunity feels like coming home in more ways than one," he said of the change.
James worked for the Sussexes from 2019 until last year, and previously featured in their 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. In 2021, he joined Archewell, their charity, as Executive Director.
Speaking of his decision to step back from his role in December, James said: "Working with Prince Harry and Meghan has been one of the great privileges of my career."
The statement concluded: "I'll miss my colleagues deeply, and I'm grateful to Harry and Meghan for everything they've done - for me, and for the countless people we've worked to support."
Good morning!
Good morning everyone!
Welcome to HELLO!'s royal blog, where I'll be bringing you live updates for the royal family throughout this morning.
I hope you're all sat somewhere shady, because it's set to be a very hot one today. In fact, a Met Office red weather warning for extreme heat covering parts of England and Wales has just come into force for just the second time, as temperatures could reach close to 40C.
This isn't stopping the royals though, as we're expecting to see King Charles at least twice today, hosting a reception at Clarence House before attending London Climate Week (after Prince William's powerful appearance yesterday).
Princess Anne has several engagements today, firstly attending the Royal Norfolk Show, before visiting Portsmouth.
Meanwhile, in Europe, Japan's state visit to Belgium is continuing after the amazing state banquet last night.
And HELLO! is hosting an intimate live podcast event to celebrate the life of the late Princess Diana in London. If you're coming, we can't wait to see you there!
