Liam Maguire, a long-term ally of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has been promoted to chief communications officer for the couple following the departure of Meredith Maines. Maguire has worked closely with Harry for over a decade, including supporting the Invictus Games and various charitable initiatives. His new role will focus on enhancing the couple's global status and managing their public image, particularly after recent challenges. Maguire brings extensive experience from both military and public relations sectors, and is now the Sussexes' sole remaining publicist after several recent exits from their communications team.
