Meghan Markle’s PR push

The Queen of Privacy is doing it again. After a brief hiatus from the spotlight, the Duchess of Sussex has appointed a PR guru to help resurrect her UK image. Mr S isn’t all that surprised the Sussexes are setting their sights back on Britain — they were, after all, dubbed ‘Hollywood’s biggest losers’ at the end of last year.

Meghan has employed an as yet unnamed professional public relations exec to help overcome her ‘popularity problem’ in the UK. The job role will also include time working on the Sussex’s not-for-profit Archewell Foundation. Eagle-eyed readers might remember this is the company that produced Meghan’s Archetypes podcast series which ran for a whole, er, 12 episodes, after being unceremoniously canned less than a year after Spotify funnelled £15.6 million into it.

The new recruit begins work while Harry deliberates over his return to the UK. There is speculation the Prince may be interested in stepping back into a royal role while his father King Charles receives treatment for his recent cancer diagnosis.
