A public relations expert has critically evaluated the brand image of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle within the United Kingdom, likening it unfavorably to a “s**t sandwich.” This harsh critique comes amid reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who withdrew from their official royal duties in 2020, are actively seeking a British PR expert to enhance their reputation in the UK. However, the endeavor appears challenging as the expert suggests a lack of willingness amongst senior PR professionals to take on the role, citing the couple’s apparent tendency to disregard professional advice. This news emerges alongside Prince Harry’s intentions to visit the UK more frequently this year, prompting speculation about a possible reconciliation with the royal family during King Charles’s health concerns.

In related news, Meghan Markle’s former co-star on the television series Suits, Wendell Pierce, has shared his belief that the Duchess harbors aspirations of returning to her acting career. Pierce praises Markle as an exemplary figure, highlighting her desire to resume acting, a profession she left following her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.

Furthermore, the royal family mourns the loss of Ian Farquhar, a close friend of King Charles and Queen Camilla, and the father of Prince William’s first girlfriend. Farquhar passed away at 78, and tributes, including one from the Queen’s first husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, have poured in celebrating his lively spirit and the deep sense of loss his departure has caused.

These events contribute to the ongoing narrative surrounding the British royal family, capturing public interest and speculation about the dynamics within the monarchy and its members’ personal lives.
