Meghan Markle ‘schooled over’ major mistake that flopped Netflix show
Meghan Markle misses mark as expert juxtaposes Princess Diana with Duchess of Sussex
Meghan Markle seemingly missed the mark with her Netflix show as harsh reviews continue to flow for the Duchess of Sussex.
With Love, Meghan, released earlier this month, sees the former Suits actress exhibiting her hostessing skills. The series, which has been renewed for a second season, has created a buzz in the headlines with many viewers and news outlets calling it “unrelatable”.
Prince Harry’s wife has often taken inspiration from her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, but a PR expert claims that Meghan lacked in authenticity in order to create a connection between her and the audiences.
“Authenticity is like humidity — you can’t see it, but you can walk in a room and feel it,” Doug Eldridge told Fox News Digital.
“It’s also critical for what Markle is trying to accomplish. Authenticity fosters relatability, which in turn creates likability, all of which are needed for marketability.”
He explained that connection “comes from authenticity and relatability; the audience needs to see something of themselves in you.”
“The reason Diana was referred to as ‘The People’s Princess’ is because people across the U.K. felt a connection to her — they felt she was both ‘one of them’ and a princess nonetheless. It was a rare feat and a testament to Diana’s likability, but again, it all started with her authenticity and sense of relatability.”
