Unlike Meghan's former personal assistant, who bailed on her job after only six months, Samantha's tenure has been considerably longer. She's worked with the Royal Family for 17 years now, and was formerly one of Queen Elizabeth's most trusted aides as assistant private secretary and communications secretary.
