Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been pursuing solo projects amid professional separation.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received a heartbreaking news amid professional split that they may have to continue with solo projects as their joint brand is badly damaged.
According to a PR and crisis expert, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex brand has been irreparably damaged by continuous media backlash and misguided PR moves.
Speaking with The Mirror, Ed Coram-James said that the couple’s best chance at redemption in 2025 lies in pursuing separate passions and projects.
“Meghan and Harry’s brand has been tainted beyond repair. The relentless media backlash, fuelled by their misguided PR moves, has left them in a position where joint branding is no longer viable,” the expert said.
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.”
“If Meghan and Harry want to make 2025 their year, they should focus on what they do best and take a break from their joint projects,” Ed suggested. “Meghan should lean into her strengths — her acting career, her philanthropic work, and her brand as a trailblazer for women’s rights.”
“Harry, on the other hand, should double down on his work with veterans and conservation. He’s been genuinely committed to these causes, like his beloved Invictus Games, long before all the royal drama, and they continue to resonate with people.
“His role as a war veteran and conservation advocate provides authenticity, which is something the public values.”
