Amy is understood to be leaving the Royal household altogether and moving overseas. She played a significant role in introducing Meghan to Royal life, which included her organizing charity projects such as the cookbook The Duchess made for victims affected by the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Amy's reported departure makes her the third main woman working for Meghan to leave in a matter of months. News broke out about Samantha leaving her position in early December of 2018.

Meghan's former personal assistant Melissa Toubati also quit her job after only six months last year. “Her job was highly pressurized and in the end it became too much," a source revealed to Mirror Online. "She put up with quite a lot. Meghan put a lot of demands on her and it ended up with her in tears."
