The return of the Princess of Wales to the limelight has sparked discussions on how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can enhance their popularity.
Renowned royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, in an interview with the Mirror, emphasized that the couple had missed crucial chances to boost their reputation before stepping back from their royal duties.
However, he remains optimistic about the potential for their star power to rise, particularly with the Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming ventures in the entertainment industry.
Fitzwilliams highlighted the significance of the former royals’ current circle of supporters, noting the scarcity of prominent figures openly backing them in their new Californian abode.
Notably, Nacho Figueras, often likened to the iconic David Beckham in the world of polo, is a close friend of the Duke of Sussex and is set to feature in the Duke’s upcoming polo series on Netflix.
While this may not draw mass audiences due to the sport’s niche appeal, it signifies a strategic move to leverage existing connections.
Acknowledging the Duke of Sussex’s ongoing legal battles related to security concerns and his strained relationship with the British press, Fitzwilliams suggested that these issues are unlikely to define his future trajectory.
Instead, he emphasized the potential impact of the Duchess of Sussex’s culinary show on Netflix and the success of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, in shaping the couple’s narrative moving forward.
