Meghan Markle urged to take ‘leaf out of Princess Kate’s book’ | Royal | News
Meghan Markle has been urged to take a page from Princess Catherine’s book when it comes to her upcoming trip to England. The Duchess of Sussex is expected to arrive in Britain early next week for the first time in four years to support her husband with some of his duties during his five-day trip to the annual event for the Invictus Games in Birmingham.
Although their official schedule has not yet been confirmed and Harry has said he will not bring his family to London due to security fears, Meghan could still join her husband at the engagements in Birmingham. Now, as the Duchess prepares for Harry’s big return to his homeland, a PR expert has given her a warning. Renae Smith, founder of PR and branding agency atticismHe told the Daily Express that Meghan should let her husband “shine”.
He explained: “If I had given him advice [Meghan Markle]My advice would be very simple: use the Princess of Wales approach for this trip.
“Show up, support your husband, be warm, kind, and present, but don’t try to own the narrative. Don’t make conversation unless absolutely necessary. Don’t create separate moments. Don’t make yourself the headline.”
Ms Smith added: “This is Harry’s event and Harry’s legacy. Let it shine. From a public relations perspective, this would actually be one of the smartest things he could do.”
The trip comes at a turbulent time for the couple’s safety in the country.
Harry is facing a legal challenge against the Home Office over his security downgrading while he was in the country.
Following their explosive exit from the Company six years ago, the Sussexes no longer receive armed police protection in the UK.
The Duke was awaiting a review by the Risk Management Board (RMB), which is part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Copyright and Public Domain (Ravec) decides on security requirements, but learned last Friday that the review had not yet taken place.
But he is thought to be still trying to find the safest way to bring his family to the UK.
