Meghan Markle’s reinvention has been slammed as “thoughtless and directionless” today.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex<\/a> appears determined to pursue a venture in the fashion world<\/a> following her appearance at Paris Fashion Week<\/a>. Since the trip, the 44-year-old star was praised for her “first positive PR”<\/a> in several years and some experts expressed confidence Meghan will succeed in the industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now other PR experts have hit out to blast the duchess, who met all-powerful global Vogue boss Anna Wintour and with American Vogue\u2019s new editor, Chloe Malle, at the Balenciaga show in Paris. It is today argued Meghan’s sudden burst of activity hasn’t been well thought through and could be counterproductive to both her and Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There is no strategy here. It is thoughtless and directionless… She\u2019s got nothing to launch, nothing to announce and nothing to say. It\u2019s a mess. The Sussexes seem to be spiralling. They are throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks,” the source said.<\/p>\n

But as Harry and Meghan’s Netflix contract ended in the summer<\/a>, it is thought they are looking – both together and separately – at new opportunities, with some chatter lingering Harry, 41, could return to royal duties.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Mail<\/a>, the well-placed source said, of Meghan: “It is evident that either she isn\u2019t being advised properly or else she isn\u2019t listening. Honestly, whoever is in charge shouldn\u2019t even be putting this stuff in front of her, to protect her from herself.”<\/p>\n

Put alongside Meghan’s glittering praise on which The Mirror<\/a> reported this week, the latest assessment cuts a harsh stance. However, it comes amid reports the former actress has made the front cover of a global fashion magazine – said to be Harper\u2019s Bazaar – despite the duchess having “nothing new” to plug.<\/p>\n

“Her PR team are just putting her out there in a hopeful way without a plan. They aren\u2019t being discerning and protecting her from herself. It seems they think every media opportunity is a good one and that\u2019s insane,” the insider continued.<\/p>\n

Meghan’s trip to Paris, during which she was snapped modelling numbers by Balenciaga<\/a>, led to criticism earlier this month. She was pictured using the same route Diana, Princess of Wales was driven moments before her tragic crash in August 1997<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex was seen in footage with her feet up on the chair in the car, just moments from the infamous Pont d’Alma tunnel. This led to claims – rejected by the duchess – she flouted a “blanket ban” Harry had imposed on Paris<\/a> due to the association with his mum.<\/p>\n

Instead, the former actress said she was allowed to visit the French capital and only did so because of her huge admiration for Pierpaolo Piccioli, one of the industry’s new kings. He became Balenciaga’s Creative Director earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has divided opinion with the suggestion she is going to reinvent herself…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134,33664,5513],"class_list":{"0":"post-222493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-meghan-markle","13":"tag-prince-harry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
