A PR crisis expert has claimed comparisons will be made between Meghan Markle and Princess Kate<\/a> following The Sussexes’ new Netflix<\/a> deal and the production of a Christmas holiday episode, with Meghan wanting to be seen in the “same aspirational light” as Princess Kate.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mirror<\/a>, Dermot McNamara, a talent manager and PR crisis expert, said: “Every broadcaster, charity and celebrity under the sun produces holiday specials. It\u2019s a warm, family-friendly format that audiences respond to. That said, Meghan knows the optics. Wanting to be seen in the same aspirational light as Kate isn\u2019t the worst strategy, but Meghan\u2019s challenge is to make it feel authentic to her own brand, not a re-skin of someone else\u2019s.”<\/p>\n

Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract with Netflix<\/a>, thought to be worth more than 100 million dollars (\u00a374 million), with the streaming giant. Last week, they signed a ‘first-look deal’ which means Netflix will get to decide<\/a> if they take up any film or TV projects by Archewell<\/a> Productions.<\/p>\n

Every year, Princess Kate hosts an annual Christmas service<\/a> at Westminster Abbey, an event which has become one of the biggest and most poignant in the family\u2019s festive calendar. Princess Kate’s ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service<\/a> began in 2021, and is an annual event that will take place once again in December 2025, marking its five-year anniversary.<\/p>\n

Royal editor of The Sun<\/a>, Matt Wilkinson, previously wrote: “Meghan, 44, will also feature in a ‘holiday special’ in December which will clash with the Princess of Wales’s annual Christmas carol concert.”<\/p>\n

It comes as Archwell Productions announced that in December, a one-off episode will air showing Meghan Markle<\/a> creating “holiday feasts”.<\/p>\n
