Now, a PR expert has blasted the Duchess and claimed that while the announcement clash might not be pre-planned, it is happening far too often for it to be accidental.<\/p>\n
Renae Smith, founder of PR agency The Atticism, told the Express: \u201cI\u2019ve actually always defended her before. I\u2019ve never believed she\u2019s sitting at home with the royal diary open, plotting counter-announcements.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s happening so often now that it\u2019s hard to keep calling it a coincidence. Whether intentional or not, someone on her team seems to be tracking royal moments and slotting her headlines in alongside them. It\u2019s starting to look calculated, and that\u2019s dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that the duchess risks looking \u201cobsessive and reactive\u201d and urged her to pull back.<\/p>\n
Ms Smith said: \u201cIf it is intentional, it\u2019s a bad play. When your public narrative starts to look like it\u2019s competing with someone else\u2019s, you lose control of your own brand.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it\u2019s not deliberate, perception becomes reality and right now, that perception is that Meghan\u2019s always trying to upstage the royals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat kind of pattern makes her look obsessive and reactive, which undermines the credibility she\u2019s been trying to build.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I were advising her team, I\u2019d say PLEASE pull back. Let William have his Earthshot moment. Let your product launch breathe on its own.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time her news drops against a royal event, it instantly becomes part of their story instead of hers and that\u2019s now becoming boring and tired.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now, a PR expert has blasted the Duchess and claimed that while the announcement clash might not be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,15858,15859,4866,87655,87657,84380,87658,4870,22699,87656,22466,111,139,69,3164],"class_list":["post-126007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-and-meghan","tag-harry-and-meghan-news","tag-meghan-markle","tag-meghan-markle-acting","tag-meghan-markle-film","tag-meghan-markle-hollywood","tag-meghan-markle-larson","tag-meghan-markle-latest","tag-meghan-markle-latest-news","tag-meghan-markle-movie","tag-meghan-markle-news","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
