Another year and what will it bring for them (and us who watch)?
One thing I thought of is control of their image for appearances. It isn't just that they have lost so many people in such a fairly short time period but who they lost. The people who advised, handled details to make the events happen - road trips to volunteering. We've been saying all along that each loss is a ripple of warning towards a potential new hire coming in. New hires, yes but what about fund raising? Cash flow? This, from SMM, is an interesting read:

Which leads us to money. Keeping their image engine running costs a lot. No doubt there are a lot details, paperwork, contracts to negotiate and find new groups to partner with. Hence the need for a good team. The duo could do some of it or all but for how long?
side note: the people losses are just the big name public staff losses, we know nothing about cooks (she is unlikely to cook all the meals), cleaners, gardeners and koi people might have come and gone.
With the recent changes to the foundation (making it more of a family thing with the kids) will that mean that now the kids will make appearances? give speeches, full photographs of? and all that. It has, after all, started up with William's kids. There was always a strong sense from Harry that he had a limited timeline before being replaced by those kids. And, it's clearly started.
The campaign to reconnect with his family - this might get interesting to follow as it appears that the main support staff for helping have left (unclear who is still around). Sure there are existing connections with supportive UK political people but it will take time for a new hire to come up to speed on this. I can't help but think that someone will need a good understanding of British history, culture in addition to diplomatic skills for this. It would be harder, not impossible, for someone from the US to come in with that level of understanding and sensitivity. Easier perhaps if they lived in NYC or DC but California is where I learned the term: GUD - geographically undesirable. Everything is far away and traffic is bad. But they knew that when they bought in Montecito.
What is new is that the palace is starting to request receipts. Giving notice to expect it in the future if it feels something is not quite right. That was a change not generally projected as likely to happen in 2025.
At any rate, it will still be difficult to gain traction with his family still not exactly expressing any support of forward reunification plans. You can bring a horse to water and all that.
In the mean time, the BRF in the UK are just continuing with their lives. Sure cancer was a hiccup but that seems to be over. They are just living life to the hilt. As life should be.
