Two years prior, Ms Herlihy remained with Harry and Meghan after the Sussexes split from the Royal Foundation, of which Ms Herlihy was an events manager.
Despite losing her formal Palace position, she has continued to work with Meghan and Harry through their post-royal charitable and professional endeavours via Herlihy Loughran, a “small, high-trust advisory working with high-profile individuals, founders and organisations to build and deliver meaningful philanthropic work”.
Ms Herlihy founded the business in 2020 with another former royal aide, Clara Loughran, who worked as Harry’s programme manager and is married to the Duke’s ex-assistant communications secretary, Nick Loughran.
Ms Herlihy’s ongoing association with Harry and Meghan became a talking point in February 2024, when she accompanied them to Whistler, Canada, for events linked to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.
