Meghan Markle’s risky holiday gamble
Insiders suggest that this desperate play involves one of the biggest names in the holiday music industry: Mariah Carey. Yes, that's right, the "Queen of Christmas" herself. The alleged plan? An elaborate holiday special, culminating in a festive duet. It's a move that has left many, both in Hollywood and online, scratching their heads. For a woman so intent on building her own brand, this reliance on another, and let's be honest, far more successful, personality seems less like a partnership and more like a desperate cry for relevance. Is this holiday special just a means to an end for Meghan Markle's damaged public image?
The diva, the Duchess, and a dubious duet
This isn’t the first time Meghan Markle and Mariah Carey have crossed paths. The two had a rather awkward encounter on Meghan's Archetypes podcast in 2022. During their conversation, Mariah referred to Meghan as a "diva," a comment the Duchess appeared to take in all the wrong ways. Their exchange, and the subsequent fallout, made for uncomfortable, and widely discussed, listening. Now, just a few years later, the idea of these two recording a holiday duet seems, to many, like a truly desperate attempt to bury the hatchet for a payday. The holiday season is a time for goodwill, but is this purely for optics? Mariah Carey, after all, brings an unparalleled level of festive cheer, something Meghan Markle’s brand has been sorely lacking.
A desperate move in a glittering holiday landscape
With another holiday season fast approaching, the pressure mounts on Meghan Markle's public relations team. They need a win, and they need it badly. A collaboration with Mariah Carey seems like a golden ticket, a way to ensure massive coverage. However, cynics view it as a desperate attempt to piggyback on the success of another. While Mariah Carey could simply be trying to help a friend in need, the history between them is complicated, and the optics, especially for a star as shrewd as Carey, are questionable. A truly organic, collaborative holiday effort this does not seem to be.
The cold reality of a warm holiday special
The public perception of this potential holiday project is crucial. Will Meghan Markle’s holiday special be seen as a triumphant return or another misstep? If the rumors are true, and a desperate arrangement is in the works, the public could see right through it. The holiday season is steeped in tradition and warmth; it’s not typically a time for calculated, desperate PR stunts. The success of this rumored collaboration hinges entirely on its reception. If it's seen as a genuine, feel-good holiday venture, Meghan Markle might just pull it off. But if it's perceived as a cynical, desperate move for attention, it could backfire spectacularly.
