Meghan Markle'S Royal Title Drama: A Pr Nightmare?

Meghan Sparks Debate with Royal Title

Meghan Markle is once again stirring the pot with her choice to use the Duchess of Sussex title in professional settings. The former actress turned royal is currently gracing the cover of Harper's Bazaar, reigniting discussions about her royal connections. PR expert Renae Smith, founder and director of The Atticism, expressed her concerns to the Daily Express, pointing out the confusion and controversy surrounding Meghan's decision. "From a PR perspective, it is such a bad idea," Smith said, adding that it's "provocative in the wrong way" and keeps Meghan "beneath the royal shadow she always bloody insists she wants to get away from."

"She can't go two weeks without doing something linked back to the royal family!" Smith quipped, reflecting on the ongoing ties Meghan seemingly maintains.

Smith suggests that Meghan's husband, Prince Harry, might be supportive of her actions, possibly even checking with him first before making moves. However, strategically, it seems to be a misstep, as Smith argues Meghan's image fluctuates between "authentic feminist, glossy royal adjacent icon, and influencer lifestyle entrepreneur," none of which seem to mesh seamlessly.

Family and Philanthropy: The Archewell Foundation Difference

Meanwhile, in a heartwarming twist, Meghan and Harry's children, Archie and Lilibet, have been spotted making rare public appearances. The duo joined their parents at Our Big Kitchen in Los Angeles, a community-driven hub that provides meals to those in need. The kids, aged six and four, reportedly enjoyed participating in meal preparation, donned in branded caps of the facility.

Royal fans were quick to shower the family with praise for their charitable work. One social media user remarked, "I love that Archie and Lili are growing up with the biggest gift we can ask for. The gift of choice. Their lives are not predetermined, and they are not pigeon-holed like their dads." Another added, "Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are volunteering for the holidays! #showupdogood," celebrating the family’s commitment to philanthropy. Despite the royal title drama, the family continues to engage in meaningful endeavors, carving a distinct path away from the traditional royal duties.
