The expert also suggested that Meghan might be frustrated by the stark contrast in public reception between her and Harry. “She (Meghan) is going to be envious of Prince Harry’s popularity and his ability to bounce back because he doesn’t have it,” Schofield added, noting how Harry’s solo efforts have revived a positive image of him.
While Meghan has made two solo public appearances recently, the focus on Harry’s charitable work may have overshadowed her efforts. These developments have reportedly led the couple to consider a new strategy for their public roles. According to sources, Meghan and Harry are expected to meet with their US-based team to reassess their approach going forward, following Harry’s successful solo engagements.
This change comes at a time when the couple is trying to balance their personal lives with their professional endeavors, both individually and together. Meghan, who has focused heavily on family life in recent months, may now be reconsidering her public persona as the couple continues to navigate life outside the royal family.
