Sussexes Struggle to Regain Control as Blunders Threaten New Endeavours
Meghan Markle’s long-held dream of building a successful commercial empire is in jeopardy due to a significant blunder that could derail her latest plans. The Duchess of Sussex, who has already faced several setbacks, is now at risk of losing a crucial deal that could define the financial success of her newly launched brand.
Despite the challenges, royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror that Meghan remains determined. "Meghan has always dreamed of creating a thriving commercial venture and, even after the Spotify fallout, she believes she has the talent and drive to achieve this."
However, branding expert Amelia Sordell highlighted a critical misstep by the Sussexes. “By revealing too much of their authentic story, Meghan and Harry have become predictable, losing the mystique essential for controlling their public image,” she told The Sun.
Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, is set to launch by the end of the year, accompanied by a Netflix cooking show. Yet, with the memory of past mistakes, including not meeting Spotify’s productivity benchmarks, hanging over them, the stakes are high.
As Quinn noted, losing the Netflix deal would be a severe blow. “The Sussexes cannot afford more missteps, as failing again could mean Meghan’s dream collapses entirely, forcing her to pursue much smaller, less significant ventures."
