WME Exposes Payments to Boost Meghan Markle’s Image Amid Plummeting Popularity
Amid a tumultuous year for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the couple faced a sharp decline in their American popularity following the release of the Prince's memoir at the start of 2023.
However, they seemed to be making a comeback as spring unfolded.
Unfortunately, their fortunes took a turn for the worse in the summer due to a recent public appearance that garnered significant backlash.
Meghan Markle's image has been under scrutiny, with reports suggesting that she has been paying for three positive stories daily since the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry.
Despite her efforts, the public remains unconvinced by her PR tactics, which have become increasingly desperate and transparent.
Rumors circulating on Blind Item hint at WME's intention to disclose payments made to media outlets to promote Meghan Markle.
Given her apparent lack of shame or embarrassment, observers speculate that more controversial revelations could surface in the near future.
The relentless PR campaign orchestrated by Meghan and WME has backfired spectacularly in recent weeks.
The media landscape has been inundated with paid content that is riddled with inaccuracies and fabrications, leading to a surge in public disillusionment with the Duchess.
Public sentiment towards Meghan Markle has soured significantly, with a notable shift towards negativity evident in online comment sections.
What was once a mixed reception has now overwhelmingly turned against her, reflecting growing dissatisfaction with her erratic messaging and dubious narratives.
Recent polling data from YouGov indicates a sharp decline in Meghan Markle's approval ratings among American audiences.
Her net approval rating dropped by seven points in the third quarter of 2023, with only 22% of respondents expressing a favorable opinion of her, compared to 32% who viewed her unfavorably.
In contrast, Prince Harry's approval rating has remained relatively stable, underscoring the diverging trajectories of the royal couple's public perception.
Analysts attribute Meghan's declining popularity to a series of missteps and controversies that have eroded her credibility and trustworthiness.
Royal commentator Charles Wray has publicly criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, labeling them as mere “clowns” in the eyes of the public.
Wray's scathing remarks were echoed by Patrick Christie, who highlighted the couple's extravagant demands and hypocritical behavior, such as using a seven-car convoy for short distances despite advocating for environmental causes.
The ongoing scrutiny and criticism surrounding Meghan Markle's actions and public image suggest a challenging road ahead for the Duchess as she navigates mounting backlash and dwindling support from both the media and the public.
The revelations regarding WME's involvement in shaping her narrative further underscore the complexities and controversies surrounding her attempts to rehabilitate her tarnished reputation.
