Meghan Markle ends royal connection with bombshell move

Meghan Markle is on a mission to create her own identity, and her bombshell move during the Invictus Games proves this. 

For the unversed, Prince Harry's passion project Invictus Games festivities kicked off in Canada on February 8. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made it to the headlines because of their PDA-filled appearances at several events. 

Notably, the former Suits actress documented their precious moments and shared them on her Instagram stories. 

Now, speaking of Meghan's new strategy, PR expert Edward Coram James told The Mirror, "It looks like she’s out to reclaim that autonomy, one Instagram Story at a time. Even her handle says a lot. Literally just ‘Meghan’ — clean, simple, powerful."

"No "MeghanDuchessOfSussex." No fluff. How she managed to snag that coveted handle, who knows, but it’s a statement in itself," the expert added. 

Moreover, Edward claimed that the mother of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet was trying to stand up without her royal tag with back-to-back updates on Instagram. 

He said, "Also, the choice to post Instagram Stories seems very strategic because stories obviously disappear in 24 hours, making them feel real and spontaneous." 

"This makes her seem more relatable, less ‘polished royal exile,’ and more in tune with her modern audience," Edward stated.
