Prince Harry has been warned against any future joint ventures with Meghan Markle as a PR expert claims his brand has suffered irreparable damage. In an interview with The mirrorPublic relations and crisis management strategist Ed Coram-James discussed the challenges facing the Sussexes, citing their tarnished public image.
“The relentless media backlash, fueled by their misguided PR measures, has left them in a position where co-branding is no longer viable,” Coram-James said. Additionally, he noted that both Meghan and Harry’s brands have been “tainted beyond repair,” leaving little room for a successful partnership in the future.
However, Coram-James highlighted a potential path for Meghan to rebuild her image independently. She suggested returning to Hollywood, drawing on her experience as an actress as a way to step out of the shadow of royal controversies.
“She could easily re-enter Hollywood, using her experience as an actress, without the baggage of being a duchess.” he explained. “A carefully constructed acting comeback could help her rebuild a fan base and create a new, more positive legacy.”
While the couple’s joint efforts have faced significant scrutiny, Coram-James’ comments suggest that Meghan may have the opportunity to forge a new path, if she decides to separate her professional identity from her royal associations.
The interview highlights the growing challenges Harry and Meghan face in reshaping their public narrative, with many wondering how the couple will navigate their next steps in the public eye.
