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.
She joined Meghan and Harry 'temporarily' when the post was left vacant by Edward Lane Fox, who left this summer following five years of service. The Duke and Duchess were said to have asked for her to stay on.
The Duchess is reported to have been especially keen to hire her permanently after she resigned from Buckingham Palace- but Ms Cohen reportedly refused and will leave in 2019.
Meghan's personal assistant Melissa Touabti also quit, just six months after the Royal wedding at Windsor Castle in May.
