Prince Harry and Meghan are both hated and loved by many. But many claim that Duchess of Sussex’s popularity is on the rise. But did she just call herself the new Princess Diana?

Royal biographer Tom Bower recently published a new book titled “House of Beckham,” which is about the relationship and career of David and Victoria Beckham. In the book, Bower claims that after her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle came to see herself as the “new Diana.”

In the book, Bower mentioned that Meghan was upset because “in the royal hierarchy she was subservient to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and the future Queen.” Amid multiple feuds, Meghan and Harry renounced their royal status in 2020 and have been living in California ever since.

 Abesi Manyando, author and founder of the public relations and branding development firm Abesi PR said that Meghan’s popularity is on the rise since the time she visited Nigeria with Prince Harry in May. he believes Meghan is a “very relevant figure” in the media and that her popularity is “not limited to Britain.”

 The Mirror report also said that Meghan Markle is set to achieve phenomenal success with her lifestyle brand thanks to her “Princess Diana effect,” an expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex is yet to fully launch her American Riviera Orchard brand having only done a tease for the range of products and content she will be offering. She revealed the logo and Instagram page for the line back in March and since then has debuted three products gifted to influencers – strawberry jam, raspberry jam and dog biscuits.

Mayando explained to the Express: “I think Meghan’s brand will do very well no matter when it’s launched. I do think there is a higher demand for its release since her popularity has increased globally and outside of Britain.

Mayando also addressed rumours that Meghan has been struggling to source staff for American Riviera Orchard, saying that she doesn’t “believe that she is having a difficult time staffing her brand” because there is “zero evidence of that and the criticism is second-hand hearsay.”
