Royal Expert Warns of Potential Backlash
Meghan Markle has caused a stir with her candid admission about her mental health during a televised interview alongside her husband, Prince Harry. The Duchess of Sussex described her struggles, which a royal expert has called a "double-edged sword" that could potentially backfire.
In the interview, Meghan spoke about her mental health challenges within the royal family and expressed concerns about the effects of social media on her children. This revelation was part of the couple's announcement of their latest project, The Parents Network, aimed at promoting child safety and mental health.
PR expert Renae Smith commented that while Meghan's openness could make her more relatable and help connect with the audience, it also carries risks. Smith noted that ongoing tensions with the Royal Family and past criticisms might overshadow her message. The focus on her personal experiences, while adding authenticity, could detract from the project's goals and risk appearing self-centred.
