Meghan and Harry Reunite With Ex-Royal Aide Who Played TV Stripper

Prince Harry and Meghan were accompanied during a walkabout in Nottingham by Beth Herlihy, described as a former Kensington Palace aide and former soap-opera actress. The report says Herlihy followed a short distance behind while carrying flowers and balloons presented by supporters, and that she is the couple’s programme coordinator, reportedly paid $155,000 per year. It adds that she travelled with them to Nottingham on Thursday and was also seen positioning schoolchildren before their arrival. Before her work in royal circles, Herlihy acted under the stage name Bethan Coundley, appearing as “Honey” in two episodes of Channel 4’s Hollyoaks Later in 2011, and later moved into public relations. The article also mentions the couple’s advisory firm, Herlihy Loughran, which co-founded with Clara Loughran, and describes its philanthropic advisory focus.
