Harry & Meghan Ex-Boss Speaks Out on Royal Exit

Mandana Dayani, who served as president of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell organization until late 2022, has offered her perspective on working for the couple. Dayani stated that she deeply respected Harry and Meghan's "courage" in "dissenting against this institution" of the monarchy, finding their decision "really brave." She emphasized that they maintained a "great relationship," which continues to this day.

Dayani joined Archewell in 2021, expressing admiration for the Sussexes' vision for a more "united, truthful, safe, and equitable world." Her role involved reporting directly to Prince Harry and Meghan. She was notably photographed with Meghan in 2022 during a visit to Women @ Spotify, where she praised the Duchess. Even after stepping down, Dayani received a hamper of goodies from Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever, in 2025, sharing a glowing review on Instagram.

Separately, Prince Harry recently spoke to Canadian network CTV after completing a skydive near Toronto. This jump was undertaken to honor a promise to a 102-year-old Second World War veteran and to raise awareness for military charities. Harry reported that his family's return to Britain on August 26 had been "great," and he expressed pleasure in being "back on British soil." When asked about the relocation, he cited "lots of reasons" but did not elaborate, wishing to keep the focus on charity efforts.
