Amidst swirling rumors of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's potential return to Britain in May, a report by the Daily Express suggests a significant dent in Meghan's popularity.
Despite the launch of a new website and recent public engagements, a fresh survey indicates a drop in her approval rating. While Meghan was once favored by 31% of respondents, she now faces a 30% disapproval rate, resulting in a meager net approval rating of plus one. This marks a stark decline from December, where she enjoyed a plus 15 rating.
The timing of this survey coincides with speculations of Prince Harry's planned return to Britain with his family for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Sources indicate Harry's desire for a united family front, yet there are murmurs that Meghan may harbor apprehensions about returning to the UK.
In a bid to reshape their public image, Meghan and Harry embarked on a major rebranding effort, unveiling a new website, sus.com, and announcing a podcast partnership with streaming platform Lemonada earlier this year. However, their endeavors faced setbacks when their podcast series, "Archetypes," was abruptly canceled after just one season, leading to the termination of their deal with Spotify. Despite subsequent public appearances, including movie premieres and Invictus events, their rebranding attempts seem to have garnered little favor with the public.
Commentators have weighed in on the couple's efforts, with Royal commentator Josh Rom questioning the authenticity of their motives, suggesting that their attempts at relevance hinge solely on their ties to the royal institution. Meanwhile, Royal expert Angela Levan issued a cautionary note, urging the couple to refrain from constant complaints and adopt a more positive demeanor. Levan suggests that Meghan's previous PR strategy of portraying themselves as victims may have backfired, and now they are urged to demonstrate positivity and gratitude.
As speculations swirl regarding the potential visit to Britain, skepticism looms over whether it will come to fruition. Miss Levan hinted at possible health concerns or other unforeseen circumstances that could derail the plans. Moreover, the logistics of such a visit, especially with two young children, pose significant challenges. Miss Levan suggests that there may be underlying manipulations at play, hinting at a complex web of motivations behind the scenes.
