According to one expert, Meghan Markle's strategy of deliberately distancing herself from Prince Harry may be on the verge of paying off.
During 2023, the couple increasingly separated their public lives and careers, appearing more in their personal capacities and pursuing more personal projects. Previously, Meghan was conspicuously absent from Harry's promotional tour after Harry's controversial memoir "Spare". Last month, Meghan previewed her future career at a Hollywood red carpet event, saying there are exciting projects in the pipeline for the coming year, which will"Let people feel it"。
Royal expert Richard Kay said in an interview with True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat that Meghan's strategy could pay off – and if she really wanted to, she might bring it"Huge change"。He explained:"I think her agent thought her own brand might have been tarnished if she was perceived to be close to Harry, so she didn't go on any of the book tours and didn't give any interviews with Harry.
She allowed Harry his own space to deal with the matter, and she was likewise not involved in Harry's lawsuit. I think it's a strategy that maybe will bear fruit next year. I think she's actively looking for a role. She wanted to do something relevant. Over the course of the year, we've heard a lot about her running for office. I don't think that's going to happen, not right now anyway.
What they need to do in the future is to build bridges in the UK, especially with their families;Maybe somehow get back to socializing **, don't be so hostile to **, be more open about what they're doing. I think there's a lot of room for change as long as they want to.
Last month, author Omid Scobie's new sex book titled Endgame appeared to reopen the couple's old scars and spark racial controversy again. In the Dutch edition of the book, two members of the royal family are accused of expressing the shade of skin of Harry and Meghan's son before his birth in a family discussion"Worried"。
Matt Wilkinson, the royal editor of The Sun, also said on the show that the book undermined the Sussex family's efforts to change public perception. He explained:"I thought they would have avoided the negative headlines well. But "Endgame" broke it all down, and then all the negative headlines came back to them. I think they're going in the right direction.
They're trying to make Meghan a Californian girl, and I think they just need to keep going that tender route, not arguing with royalty, and enjoying their life in California. They kept doing this until the two names in Terminator came out and made a mess of things. "
Meanwhile, fellow expert Vanity Fair royal editor Katie Nicholl believes Harry and Meghan need to focus more on their philanthropy than on business. She added:"No matter how you look at it (Harry), he's a brilliant philanthropist who has an incredibly unique platform, and he's taken advantage of it. I think that's when he can use his talents and do his best.
But if you compare what [the Sussexes] did in Achewell with what they did in terms of business projects, there was a real imbalance between the two. If they can balance out a little bit more and let them do more charity work, then I think you're going to see Archewell do better, and I think you're going to see [Harry and Meghan] do better in popularity polls, because that's what people want to see.""。
