Meghan and Harry’s Struggle: Big Brands Refuse to Associate with Sussexes
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are facing accusations of attempting to divert attention from negative press as an article in an LA publication suggests that Meghan's talent agency is struggling to find opportunities due to big brands avoiding association with the former royal couple.
The brands are reportedly concerned about jeopardizing their relationship with the royal family.
Renowned royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, during her LA Diaries on TalkTV, dismissed claims that the Montecito duo were on the verge of a comeback after their appearance on the cover of US Weekly.
Schofield expressed her view that Meghan and Harry find themselves in a precarious position because people are reluctant to be associated with them and risk tarnishing their own brands.
Trust, she emphasized, is crucial for any brand, charity, or individual.
In response to a report by Deadline, Schofield mentioned that Meghan was specifically facing challenges through WME in securing brand deals, leaving the agency puzzled about how to manage her brand effectively.
Critics argue that Meghan and Harry could have chosen South Africa or stayed in Canada to engage in wildlife projects, but instead opted for the allure of Hollywood.
However, they seem to have misunderstood the situation.
At her age, Meghan, in her 40s, faces difficulties in establishing herself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
While Helen Mirren and Andie MacDowell continue to succeed on the runway, Meghan cannot be compared to them.
Previously, Meghan struggled to find work in the USA and had to rely on her husband at the time to secure supporting roles in a Canadian sitcom.
Now, in her middle age, the situation remains unchanged, except that she is no longer married to an influential producer but is accompanied by a prince without a throne.
Hollywood has observed that Meghan lacks any discernible talent, as confirmed by a major talent agency owner who publicly expressed this sentiment.
Upon arriving in the US, the Sussexes immediately began criticizing the royal family, seeking fame without considering the long-term consequences.
Perhaps they believed that their story of victimhood would instantly make them celebrities.
According to Schofield, with the Sussexes' animosity towards the royal family, brands like Dior, previously rumored to be working with Meghan, have recently dressed Queen Camilla and named the young woman portraying Catherine in The Crown as their new face, not Meghan.
Therefore, when discussing Harry and Meghan's eagerness to reconcile with the royal family this holiday season, it is essential to acknowledge the reports suggesting that their reconciliation is necessary for their Hollywood endeavors.
Recently, Meghan Markle has been attempting to showcase a more fun and appealing side to the general audience.
In her efforts to rebrand herself and gain public attention, Meghan is presenting herself as lighthearted and frivolous.
Brand and culture expert Nick Eade commented to Mel Online that this strategy aims to portray Meghan in a new light, but unfortunately, the response on social media has been negative rather than celebratory.
The post was intended to highlight the success and hard work of the business, but Meghan's polarizing figure seems to overshadow any positive reaction.
In conclusion, Meghan and Harry are facing challenges in finding brand opportunities due to big brands' reluctance to associate with them.
Their actions and criticisms towards the royal family have created a difficult situation, eroding trust and hindering their chances of success in Hollywood.
