Meghan Markle’s impending return to the UK has sparked debate among experts. Renae Smith, founder of PR and branding agency The Atticism, was quoted in an interview with the Daily Express.
Smith believes Meghan could potentially humiliate herself but also sees a chance for her to “support her husband without becoming part of the story.” She advises taking the Princess of Wales approach: show up, support Harry, be warm and present, but don’t try to own the narrative.
The expert emphasizes not giving speeches unless necessary, avoiding separate moments or making oneself the headline. This is because it’s Harry’s event and legacy that should shine. Smith concludes by stating that demonstrating a genuine commitment to the cause would likely be well-received, not for gaining love from everyone but due to building credibility through consistency and restraint over time.
