The meeting took place in October 2016, and Meghan had reportedly planned to seek advice from Sarah Ferguson on royal etiquette. The article mentions Meghan's curtsy, which, according to Harry, received compliments from everyone. It suggests that Meghan might be trying to improve her public image following the criticism she faced for her previous curtsy in a Netflix documentary.
However, the article seems like another attempt to manipulate public opinion rather than an honest account of events. It highlights Meghan's attempt to play down her familiarity with Prince Andrew. Harry narrates that Meghan initially mistook Andrew for a staff member, but this could be a way to divert attention from her past association with him.
Switching to a more substantial article from The Express, it offers valuable insights into the challenges Meghan and Harry face. PR expert Edward Corm James advises Meghan to lay low and focus on issue-based work, which has proved successful for them, such as the Invictus Games.
He also suggests that if Harry avoids controversy and continues his work on causes he's passionate about, his reputation could recover over time.
The same applies to Meghan, but the key point is that their actions need to align with their words. However, Meghan and Harry seem to ignore these strategies and persist in trying to control the narrative around them.
Despite their efforts to shape their narrative, Meghan and Harry's image isn't defined solely by a hostile press and social media. Their narrative is increasingly dictated by their own actions and statements. They also attempt to influence the narratives of others, including the rest of the royal family.
Ignoring Meghan and Harry might not make them disappear; instead, it might allow their narrative to dominate unchallenged. What do you think about the future of Meghan and Harry's reputations? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
