A royal expert has shared a practical advice with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they allegedly struggle to rebuild their brand Sussex.
According to a PR expert, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex need to "take a break" from joint appearances in 2025, as their Sussex brand has been "tainted beyond repair."
Speaking with The Mirror, PR expert Ed Coram-James warned the Sussexes that their joint branding is doing no good for their brand amid relentless media backlash.
The couple has been making solo appearances in recent months, with Harry set to attend The New York Times DealBook Conference on December 4th, and Meghan attending the 2024 Paley Honors Fall Gala the same day.
"Meghan and Harry's brand has been tainted beyond repair,” the expert said. "The relentless media backlash, fuelled by their misguided PR moves, has left them in a position where joint branding is no longer viable.”
He added, "Harry's attempts to reclaim his reputation after stepping back from royal duties are overshadowed by his relationship with Meghan, whose own controversies — be it with her family or her public opinions — have made them a lightning rod for criticism."
Sharing a key strategy with the couple to make it big in the year 2025, the expert said Harry and Meghan should "focus on what they do best and take a break from their joint projects.”
