Prince Harry has been cautioned against any future joint ventures with Meghan Markle, as a public relations expert claims her brand has been irreparably damaged. In an interview with The Mirror, PR and crisis management strategist Ed Coram-James discussed the challenges the Sussexes face, citing their tarnished public image.
“The relentless media backlash, fueled by their misguided PR moves, has left them in a position where joint branding is no longer viable,” Coram-James asserted. He further noted that both Meghan and Harry’s brand has been “tainted beyond repair,” leaving little room for a successful partnership moving forward.
However, Coram-James highlighted a potential pathway for Meghan to rebuild her image independently. He suggested a return to Hollywood, leveraging her acting background as a way to step out of the shadow of royal controversies.
“She could easily tap into Hollywood again, using her acting experience, without the baggage of being a Duchess,” he explained. “A carefully constructed acting comeback could help her rebuild a fanbase and create a new, more positive legacy.”
While the couple’s joint efforts have faced significant scrutiny, Coram-James’s comments suggest Meghan may have an opportunity to carve out a new path—if she chooses to separate her professional identity from her royal associations.
The interview underscores the mounting challenges Harry and Meghan face in reshaping their public narrative, with many questioning how the pair will navigate their next steps in the public eye.
