Meghan Markle, the former senior royal who stepped down from her duties in 2020 with Prince Harry, finds herself in a challenging position after a series of public relations strategies backfired.
Seeking to establish a brand in the United States, Meghan’s efforts may soon be overshadowed by an unexpected problem, according to insights from a royal expert.
Recent data from research firm YouGov indicates a decline in Meghan’s favorability both in the United Kingdom and the United States.
In the UK, she ranks as the second least popular royal, just ahead of Prince Andrew.
This downward trend in popularity could be attributed to the fallout from Sussexet and subsequent events.
Following their decision to step back as senior royals, Meghan and Harry relocated to California in pursuit of financial independence.
However, their interactions with the media, where they openly criticized the royal family, have drawn criticism.
Moreover, their lavish lifestyle and perceived use of their titles to push political agendas have not been well-received.
In a YouTube video, Sean, a commentator, highlighted the intrigue surrounding unauthorized biographies, suggesting that individuals from various walks of life may come forward to share insights.
Notably, Sean hinted at the potential for revelations from unexpected sources, including former acquaintances like waiters and cab drivers.
Meghan’s extravagant spending habits have also garnered attention.
Reports indicate that during the initial year of her marriage, she splurged between $300,000 to $500,000 on clothing alone.
Furthermore, public scrutiny intensified when it was revealed that nearly $3 million in taxpayers’ money was used to renovate their Frogmore Cottage residence.
Criticism mounted when the couple purchased a $14.7 million, nine-bedroom estate in California amid a global pandemic, leading some to question their financial decisions.
Accusations of attempting to emulate a billionaire lifestyle without the corresponding wealth have fueled discontent among royal followers.
Throughout her tenure as a royal, Meghan has faced criticism for engaging in political discourse, straying from the traditional expectation of neutrality upheld by most members of the monarchy.
Recent actions, including Sean’s letter to Congress, have reignited debates over Meghan’s involvement in political matters, with journalist Zoe Strimpel labeling her as an unwelcome meddler in politics.
Sean’s mention of author Tom Bauer, currently working on a biography about Meghan, sheds light on the importance of reconciling with estranged individuals in her life, such as her father, Thomas Markle.
Bauer emphasized the significance of addressing past relationships and potential revelations that could surface, hinting at hidden truths that may come to light if provoked.
