Meghan’s popularity and whether she can ever salvage it have been at the centre of discussions of many royal watchers over the years.
Now, a PR expert claimed that she could possibly win it back if she followed one simple rule.
Australian-born Renae Smith, founder of PR agency The Atticism, told the Daily Express: “She could win, but it would require a much clearer strategy and a lot more consistency over time. Right now, what we’re seeing is not failure, but it’s also not progress. It’s visibility without evolution.”
Ms Smith touched down on some of the Duchess’s comment during her Australian trip, including the one about her being one of the most trolled people and said that she also had a part to play in it.
The PR expert explained: “There was also that moment where she spoke about being one of the most trolled people of the last decade, and I did feel for her on a human level. No one deserves that level of abuse.
“But from a PR perspective, I think she has to own part of that reality as well. A lot of this hasn’t happened in a vacuum. She has consistently chosen to operate in very public, very polarising spaces, while also sending mixed messages about privacy, control and visibility. That creates tension, and tension invites commentary.
“When you layer that with inconsistent positioning and a revolving door of PR teams, it becomes less about bad luck and more about a pattern.
“So yes, there is absolutely a victim element, but there’s also an element of self-creation in how that narrative has evolved over time.”
Ms Smith concluded: “So no, I wouldn’t say she’s “done.” But I also wouldn’t say this tour changed anything. It was controlled, it was safe, and it landed exactly where you’d expect it to.
“Very much “no steps forward, no steps back”.”
