Meghan Markle warned over looking ‘obsessive’ after announcement clash | Royal | News
Now a PR expert has criticized the Duchess, claiming the announcement clash was not pre-planned but happens too often to be a coincidence.
Renae Smith, founder of PR agency The Atticism, told the Express: “I’ve actually always defended him before. I never believed he was sitting in his house with the royal diary open and making counter announcements.”
“But this happens so often now that it’s hard to keep calling it a coincidence. Whether intentional or not, it looks like someone on his team is tracking royal moments and placing their headlines next to them. It’s starting to look calculated, and that’s dangerous.”
He added that the duchess risked appearing “obsessive and reactive” and urged her to stand down.
Ms Smith said: “If it’s intentional, it’s foul play. Once your public narrative starts to look like it’s competing with someone else’s, you lose control of your own brand.”
“Even if it wasn’t intentional, perception becomes reality, and the perception now is that Meghan is always trying to outshine the royal family.
“This type of pattern makes him appear obsessive and reactive, which undermines the credibility he is trying to build.
“If I were giving advice to your team, I would say PLEASE step back. Let William have his World Shot moment. Let your product launch breathe on its own.
“Every time news comes out about a royal event, it instantly becomes part of their story instead of hers, and it’s getting boring and tiring.”
