Meghan Markle <\/strong>and Prince Harry<\/strong> are nearing the end of their Australia tour<\/a>, and Markle will appear as a celebrity judge on MasterChef Australia this Sunday, reportedly \u201ctesting the waters\u201d for a comeback to television.<\/p>\n With this appearance, the Duchess of Sussex will mark her first TV appearance since her Netflix series, \u201cWith Love, Meghan.\u201d Now, a PR expert claimed that Markle\u2019s timing and choice of show suggest careful planning.<\/p>\n Celebrity PR expert Kayley Cornelius told The Mirror<\/a> that appearing on MasterChef Australia during her tour to Australia with Prince Harry<\/a> is \u201cfar from random or one-off appearances\u201d for Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n Cornelius claimed, \u201cThere\u2019s a clear strategy at play here.\u201d Moreover, this \u201cstrategy\u201d allegedly \u201cvery much points to a more permanent return to the world of mainstream celebrity being front of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n Cornelius asserted, \u201cAustralia is a particularly savvy choice too as it\u2019s a market that\u2019s historically been receptive to her, but it also allows her to trial this next phase slightly outside of the intense scrutiny she faces in the US and UK.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides, the expert suggested that Markle is \u201con a mission to really nail down her personal branding while she\u2019s in Australia.\u201d In that, she is allegedly \u201cbuilding a loyal audience base ahead of what looks like a potential move to bring her As Ever brand over,\u201d and she wants to construct \u201ca stronger identity beyond her royal titles alone\u201d to help carry her brand differently.<\/p>\n Cornelius described the MasterChef role as a possible turning point, suggesting that Markle<\/a> may want to \u201creturn to the world of mainstream celebrity culture as well as TV.\u201d Hence, her appearance on MasterChef Australia allegedly \u201cfeels very much like her \u2018testing the waters\u2019 to gauge audience appetite for a full-scale comeback.\u201d<\/p>\n The PR expert believes that Sunday\u2019s episode carries extra weight for Meghan Markle. And if viewers respond well, it might just open the door to more mainstream TV work.<\/p>\n The post Meghan Markle \u2018Testing the Waters\u2019 for TV Comeback With MasterChef \u2014 Expert<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are nearing the end of their Australia tour, and Markle will appear as a celebrity judge on MasterChef Australia this Sunday, reportedly \u201ctesting the waters\u201d for a comeback to television.
