The Duchess of Sussex hires a UK-based PR specialist in a significant move since leaving the country in 2020, sparking discussions about reconnecting with the British public and launching personal projects.
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has recently taken steps to strengthen her public relations efforts in the UK, marking a significant development since she and Prince Harry left the country in 2020. The move comes amid speculation related to their intentions to reconnect with the British public and potential personal projects similar to the lifestyle brand Goop, founded by Gwyneth Paltrow. Royal commentators are interpreting the hiring of a UK-based PR specialist as an attempt by Meghan to improve her image and popularity in the UK, which has reportedly been facing challenges.
This strategic decision is viewed in conjunction with Prince Harry’s expressed wish to spend more time in the UK, especially following his father, King Charles’s cancer diagnosis. The timing of hiring a UK PR person has ignited discussions about the Sussexes’ plans and their effort to win over public sentiment in Britain.
In a separate engagement, Meghan Markle delivered a keynote speech in Texas, addressing the importance of using one’s voice for advocacy and sharing her personal struggles with social media toxicity during her pregnancies. The Duchess appeared to show a mix of vulnerability and resilience, with body language expert Judi James highlighting Meghan’s moments of seeming haunted by past experiences while also demonstrating strength.
Furthermore, Meghan has shown support for better representation of mothers in television, aligning with her experiences as an actress, producer, and mother. Her involvement in the report “Rewriting Motherhood,” which critiques the portrayal of mothers in 2022 scripted TV programs, underscores her ongoing advocacy for women and mothers in the entertainment industry.
Since relocating to California, Meghan continues to leverage her platform to advocate for societal change and improved representation in media, drawing from her unique perspective as a mother and a public figure navigating intense media scrutiny.
