Renae Smith, founder and director of The Atticism, told the Express: \u201cThe announcement is the part that made my stomach drop. Being formally announced as \u2018Meghan, Duchess of Sussex\u2019 in a private home is so painfully performative.<\/p>\n
“That would have been planned. There is no universe in which something like that happens spontaneously. She either agreed to it or requested it. Either way, it is tone deaf.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThis is the stuff that shapes public opinion of her. Not the cover. From a PR perspective, it is messy (and the cringiest of cringe). And she is consistently messy. She desperately needs a proper brand strategist who has the authority to say no.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cRight now she looks confused, reactive and completely disconnected from what actually works for her.”<\/p>\n
Ms Smith claimed that the overall photoshoot and interview was “self-centred” and dubbed the announcement “embarrassing”.<\/p>\n
She said: “The inconsistency is what hurts her the most. Another Meghan mess\u2026.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
