Meghan Markle and Prince Harry caused chaos in the British Royal Family with their marriage.
But now Meghan and Harry are making waves for a new reason.
And Meghan Markle won’t be seen with Harry for one shocking reason.
Meghan and Harry not seen together
Harry and Meghan haven’t been seen together in public in more than a month.
That’s led to speculation if there is trouble in paradise.
It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows since the two quit the Royal Family and moved to California to pursue fame and fortune.
Spotify fired them from their podcast deal.
Meghan Markle’s Hollywood comeback never materialized and she’s now a lifestyle influencer.
Harry is persona non grata in London.
Questions began floating around about if their marriage was on the rocks.
But apparently Harry and Meghan keeping their public distance is just another public relations stunt.
Public relations expert Ed Coram James told GB News that Harry and Meghan’s public image is currently intertwined.
“Since their marriage, Harry and Meghan have had a distinct brand,” James explained. “That brand is based on a duo. Call it ‘Harry and Meghan’, call it ‘the Sussexes’, call it whatever you like. The fact is that for years they have become synonymous with one another.”
PR expert suggests there’s something else at play
That’s been the case ever since the infamous Oprah interview, where their downward slide started after they smeared the Royal Family as racist. The couple is seen by the public as inseparable, which is a “toxic” presentation.
“Since the famous Oprah interview, in which they took a simmering disagreement between themselves and the rest of the Royal Family and essentially declared all-out-war, that brand has been steadily becoming more toxic and thus commercially untenable to the point where not that many major brands are going to be rushing to write them a large cheque based on their brand value,” James added.
James explained that the two staying apart in public is an attempt at an image reboot.
“When combined, the Sussexes brand is, from a PR perspective, toxic. But, when separate, they have a genuine chance of creating an entirely separate brand, with completely different labels,” James concluded.
Markle also sought to get the word out that her marriage to Harry was in no danger of ending.
“She has really felt the strain in recent weeks, and with all the speculation surrounding her and Harry and their marriage,” a source close to Markle told GB News.
The source said the pair understood they fed this speculation by not appearing together, but they are willing to bite the bullet because this is the best chance to rehab their images that they know are in the gutter.
“They haven’t done themselves any favors by doing so many separate events but this is what they have decided to do as it works best for them at the moment as a couple and they both feel they can shine at events that are close to their hearts,” the source added.
