The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's renowned personal secretary is set to leave her role after the birth of their child in spring - just weeks after another aide suddenly resigned.
Samantha Cohen, 50, is a key member of Meghan's Kensington Palace staff and her departure will fuel rumours that the Duchess is difficult to work for.
Ms Cohen is nicknamed 'Samantha the Panther' and was also one of the Queen's most trusted aides having served as a communications secretary and spent 17 years working for the royals.
Meghan's personal assistant Melissa Touabti also quit, just six months after the Royal wedding at Windsor Castle in May.

Ms Cohen is believed to have joined Harry and Meghan's household on an interim basis in early 2018.
The Duchess is reported to have been keen to hire her permanently - but Ms Cohen is not thought to have been keen on the idea.
Reported in the Sunday Times, a source close to Meghan said: 'Sam will be a huge loss.
'Going forward, Meghan might need someone cut from a slightly different cloth to traditional courtiers, who is not a career civil servant or royal insider'.
The source also revealed the Duchess' early morning routine and warned that new aides would have to be adaptable and patient.
The Duchess has previously said that she wakes up at 4.30am to do yoga, which 'heals the mind'.
Ms Cohen is held in high regard among the royal family.
Trusted: Cohen, 49, has been a trusted aide of the royals for 17 years, described as 'deeply committed to serving the monarchy' and was given the task of preparing Meghan for her life as a royal earlier this year. Pictured, Australian-born Cohen at the royal wedding in May
She was the first woman to ever hold the press secretary’s job and was made a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by the Queen in 2016.
From Australia, she has been described as well-liked and 'unstuffy' and was seen as the perfect aide for Meghan to settle in the royal family.
Sources claim that she also advised Meghan on her make-up and helped her understand the intricacies of the royal family.
She was spotted with the Duchess during Meghan's first solo engagement with the Queen and also attended the royal wedding.

Meanwhile, Ms Touabti left her job at Kensington Palace just six months after Meghan married into the Royal Family.
Royal insiders were stunned at the abrupt and sudden departure.
After Meghan's PA quit, a Palace source was authorised to pay tribute to her and the role she played in helping organise Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding.
'Melissa is a hugely talented person,' the source said. 'She played a pivotal role in the success of the Royal Wedding and will be missed by everyone in the Royal Household.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
