Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are taking precautions ahead of their expected return to the UK next month. They have hired Charlie Gipson, a 41-year-old brand manager, as their UK spokesperson. Gipson will work with the couple’s US-based PR team and serve as their primary contact for all UK and European media.
Gipson has over 15 years of experience in consumer communications and has worked with notable clients such as Mars, Cadbury, Samsung, and Instagram. He has also excelled in media relations and strategic communication planning.
The hiring of Gipson comes amid concerns about Meghan Markle’s safety and the public’s ill-will towards the couple. It is unclear whether Markle or their two children, Archie and Lilibet, will join Harry in the UK.
Harry is expected to attend the St. Paul’s Cathedral service in London next month to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games. The couple’s presence has sparked controversy due to the ongoing security risks and the public’s negative perception of them.
