Harry & Meghan’s New Out of Office Email Signifies the End of an Era: ‘Now Closed'

Via Twitter, English shared a screenshot of the email response she received after sending the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s former communication staff an email. The response was short and to the point: “Many thanks for your email. The office for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex has now closed.” English captioned the screen grab “It’s official…”

With the office shuttered and Buckingham Palace no longer tasked with commenting on the couple’s schedule, philanthropic endeavors or personal matters, it’s expected that the Sussexes will now hire a new team. The Duchess of Sussex and her husband were previously represented by public relations firm Sunshine Sachs, so it’s possible they’ll return there (some reports say they already have) or that she and Prince Harry will hire an internal team once they lay the groundwork for their forthcoming non-profit organization.

Either way, that O.O.O. email really means business.
