Meghan Markle Warned Not To Build Branding Based on Grievances Or It Will Be Her End
Meghan Markle has been warned about her branding by a former editor.
Tina Brown, a former Vanity Fair editor, stated that Prince Harry would "always be royal" since he is the son of King Charles III and Princess Diana.
The Duchess of Sussex, on the other hand, is establishing a brand mostly based on "grievances," and she now needs to expand her branding beyond that.
According to the award-winning writer, per Marie Claire, Prince Harry will "always have the legendary position that he has," since that has always been his identity.
The Duke of Sussex's Invictus, according to Brown, has "authenticity," to which many people may identify.
But the former "Suits" actress is still adrift, according to the expert, who advises her to identify what she is passionate about and create her own brand, something "that is actually [we] recognize as hers."
"It's hard to discover that, and I don't believe she has yet," Brown said, "but I think she might if she steps back from continually concentrating on what didn't work."
A year after quitting their official duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hit out at the British royal family in an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan airing dirty laundry didn't stop there, however, as she also had an interview with The Cut, hinting she has many more secrets and explosives to share about her experience living the royal life.
One of the things she said in the interview, "I've never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking."
Tina Brown's remarks came in response to a query on how long Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's brand will last now that they are no longer part of the royal family.
The author, who was also marketing her book "The Palace Papers," stated that the pair did not anticipate to face rivals outside of Buckingham Palace, claiming that they did not view it as difficult to develop a competitive platform.
"You're effectively at the mercy of PRs who [specialize in making people appear good]," she continued, adding, "Given that they've now placed their careers on product, on entertainment, it'll be about what they do."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex abandoned their top royal positions in 2020 to pursue a fresh, independent life in the United States.
They bought a $14 million property in Montecito, where they live with their two children, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana.
