Meghan and Harry need to ‘tone down’ lavish lifestyles to increase popularity, says expert

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been advised that it would be “wise to tone down” their lavish lifestyles in order to increase their plummeting popularity.

The Duke and Duchess stepped back from the Royal Family in 2020, with the couple moving across the pond to the United States soon after. Since moving to America, the pair have taken part in several projects with Netflix and Spotify, as well as Penguin Random House with the Duke’s memoir Spare.

But despite the several projects that the couple have released, their popularity has seemingly plummeted amid their scathing claims in regards to their time in the Royal Family. However, according to an expert, the couple can turn it around if they make one key move

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Lynn Carratt, a public relations guru from Press Box PR has said: “If Meghan and Harry are set on building their popularity up, there needs to be some consistency and authenticity running across their brand as a couple. Another successful Invictus Gamea will help Harry’s popularity

She noted that the couple will always be criticised “for whatever they do”, noting that they also “need to help themselves in fostering the right PR strategy”. She outlined: “They need to become more relatable to the British public, Meghan could consider toning down her use of designer labels and opting for frugal options, like Kate.

Showing herself as a normal working mum who is facing the same challenges as others would also help,” Lynn added.

She went on to add that the public “often dislikes the hypocrisy of the couple showing off their privileged life while trying to resonate and relate to those less fortunate than themselves”. Lynn then said: “Also, their use of private jets whilst campaigning for climate change is often commented on. Fair or unfair, the public likes to call Meghan and Harry out on these things, so I believe toning these things down would help increase their popularity.”

Lynn went on to touch on how the couple can “leverage the media as a platform to promote their work”, and “instead of giving explosive interviews about her time in the Royal Family, which might attract juicy gossip”, they should utilise the media.

She concluded: “They now need to be showing empathy and support to Charles and Kate through their illnesses and stop playing on their royal connections
