They've got a real sh*t show on their hands 
. Those two can't hold onto staff for more than six months these days. A now this man, one of their head guys at Archewell, has bounced on their asses right before they leave for their shady visit to Colombia. I know he's saving his own skin. Good for him, honestly.
When the Duke of Sussex appointed Josh Kettler as his grandly titled chief of staff earlier this year, it was said that he was the perfect man to 'guide' Harry 'through his next phase'.

The timing is a particular blow to Harry and his wife Meghan as Mr Kettler would have been expected to accompany them on their 'quasi-royal tour' of Colombia, which kicks off this week.
In May, Mr Kettler joined Harry on his visit to London to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, the sporting event the prince created for injured and sick service personnel.

As the Sussexes reveal another new initiative, how Meghan's ideas struggle to lift off
Mr Kettler's very brief time in his position highlights the difficulties that the Duke and duch*ess have had retaining staff.
The total number the Sussexes have lost since they married in 2018 is said to be at least 18, with nine or more having left since they moved to California in 2020.
One former member of staff told the Daily Mail yesterday: 'What may be most telling is that the entire time I worked there, I don't think I heard a single current or former employee on their staff say they would take the job again if given the chance.
'These aren't employees they had just found off the streets.
'Many of them are people who had previously excelled working for demanding bosses in high-performance companies and environments.' Mr Kettler, who is thought to be American, had previously worked for Cognixion, a medical equipment manufacturer.
The Daily Mail Diary reported in April that the duch*ess of Sussex had failed to find a chief executive officer for her new cooking and lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard, despite having interviewed several candidates.
Meghan is said to hope that the brand, which will focus on home, garden, food and lifestyle wares, will be highly lucrative. On Thursday, Harry and Meghan will begin their four-day tour of crime-ravaged Colombia.
