Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has made multiple headlines surrounding her family and her Brexit decision on her way out of the Royal Palace. After making her way from the tabloids and magazine pages, the actress decided to take on publicity herself.
From the 44-year-old’s Instagram updates about her family to being in charge of business plans and endorsements, it has to be all about Meghan Markle.
Here’s a closer look at Meghan Markle’s decision to go independent with an actor.
Meghan Markle lives on her terms
Markle shared a series of adorable photos of her wedding day with Prince Harry to mark their eighth wedding anniversary on Instagram, casually showing the love between the pair. However, many fans discussed how the actress regained her royal status after being suppressed by the British side for just under a decade.
Despite headlines highlighting alleged problems between the family, she decided to embrace it for a day. Experts believe that it is Meghan Markle who is taking the publicity into her own hands. “I suppose this is another example of Meghan controlling her own publicity, and there’s nothing wrong with that,” The Mirror reported, before adding: “On the wedding day itself, no one was allowed to take photos and the reception was shrouded in secrecy.
Obviously that’s how they felt at the time, but eight years later, things have changed. Now that Meghan Markle has welcomed social media with open arms, experts say this will help her create an image.
“And there’s no doubt that people are interested – she has millions of followers on her social media, all of which feeds into her business plans and brand.”
Is there a dispute between the royal family?
While Meghan Markle shared photos of her wedding day, there were no photos of any royal members. The royal expert believes that the decision was taken for privacy reasons, and not because there was a necessary dispute. “I don’t think we should draw any conclusions about the status of their relationship from the fact that they are not included in the photos,” the outlet said. Markle even refrains from sharing photos of her children on social media.
