Meghan Markle has been cautioned against the idea of making a comeback to the UK due to the prevailing sentiment of disdain towards hypocrisy among the British public.
Speculations surrounding Meghan Markle’s potential return to the United Kingdom have been dismissed by a public relations expert, who believes such a move would not bode well for the Duchess.
The Duchess of Sussex has recently found herself at the heart of discussions following reports suggesting a possible visit back to the country alongside her family later this year.
Meghan, who has refrained from visiting Britain since the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, had previously declared her firm stance on never setting foot in England again.
A source has now hinted at the prospect of Meghan reuniting with her husband, Prince Harry, for a trip to the UK in May to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in London.
However, in response to this news, a seasoned PR professional strongly advised Meghan against such a move, citing her dwindling popularity among the British public, which currently stands at an all-time low.
Lynne Carrott, representing Pressbox PR, expressed her reservations regarding Meghan Markle’s potential return to the UK, emphasizing that it may not bring personal contentment to the Duchess.
Carrott suggested that Meghan might have felt out of place within the British monarchy before her exit, highlighting the stark contrast in her popularity between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Recent data from a YouGov poll indicates that public perception of the Duchess of Sussex in Britain has plummeted to unprecedented levels, with a staggering 68% holding a negative view of her.
The expert further delved into the public’s aversion to hypocrisy, accusing the former ‘Suits’ actress of projecting conflicting images – one of flaunting her affluent lifestyle while attempting to resonate with the less privileged, and another of utilizing private jets while advocating for climate change.
Ms. Carrott underscored the public’s tendency to scrutinize Meghan for these perceived contradictions, suggesting that a more subdued approach could potentially aid in boosting her popularity.
The expert acknowledged the prevalent criticism directed at Meghan for what is perceived as a double standard in her actions, emphasizing the importance of addressing these concerns to improve her standing among the British audience.
