Trouble Ahead for Meghan Markle: PR Points Plummet as Popularity Declines
Meghan Markle finds herself in a precarious position as her attempts to establish a brand in the United States face a significant challenge.
Since stepping down as a senior royal alongside Prince Harry in 2020, Meghan's series of PR tactics seem to have backfired, leaving her with dwindling popularity on both sides of the Atlantic.
According to a royal expert, Meghan's favorability has been on a downward spiral over the past year.
Research conducted by YouGov indicates that she ranks as the second least popular royal in the United Kingdom, just ahead of Prince Andrew.
This decline in public opinion could be attributed to the aftermath of Sussexet and subsequent events.
Following their decision to relinquish their roles 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, coupled with accusations of leading an extravagant lifestyle and leveraging their titles for political purposes, have drawn widespread criticism.
In a recent YouTube video, Sean expressed his fascination with unauthorized biographies, highlighting how individuals from various walks of life often come forward to divulge information.
He emphasized that even seemingly inconspicuous individuals like waiters and cab drivers could possess revealing insights.
During the initial year of her marriage, Meghan reportedly spent staggering amounts ranging from $300,000 to $500,000 solely on clothing.
The couple faced backlash in 2019 for utilizing nearly $3 million of taxpayers' money for renovations to their Frogmore Cottage residence.
Furthermore, their acquisition of a lavish $14.7 million nine-bedroom home in California amidst a global pandemic sparked further criticism.
Critics have accused Harry and Meghan of aspiring to a billionaire lifestyle despite lacking the financial means to sustain it.
Meghan's engagement in political matters has also drawn censure, with some questioning her neutrality, a quality traditionally expected from members of the royal family.
Renowned journalist Zoe Strimpel labeled Meghan as an insufferable meddler in politics, criticizing her lack of experience in the realm.
The ongoing scrutiny intensified following Sean's correspondence with Congress, amplifying concerns about Meghan's involvement in political affairs.
Sean raised concerns about Meghan's future prospects, noting that her attempts to blend in with ordinary individuals might prove challenging.
He suggested that individuals like Tom Bauer, who is penning a biography on Meghan, could potentially reveal undisclosed details, urging Meghan to reconcile with estranged figures like her father, Thomas Markle.
Bauer highlighted Meghan's strained relationships with family members and ex-partners, portraying her as ambitious yet unforgiving.
He hinted at the existence of undisclosed information that could surface in the future, potentially tarnishing Meghan's public image.
As speculations loom over hidden secrets, Meghan faces an uphill battle to navigate the turbulent waters of public perception.
