Ever since she stepped down as a senior royal in 2020 with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has been trying to establish a brand in the United States. However, according to a royal expert, Meghan could soon face an unexpected “problem” that might cost her some PR points.

Meghan Markle has been losing popularity

Meghan’s popularity has been declining this past year. According to research firm YouGov, she has been receiving less favorability in both the United Kingdom and the United States. In the U.K., Meghan is the second-least popular royal, just ahead of Prince Andrew.

It’s possible this dip in popularity is due to “Sussexit” and the events after that. After stepping down as senior royals, Meghan and Harry moved to California to establish financial independence. However, in early 2020, the couple also started speaking to news outlets to criticize the royal family. Additionally, they have ran into criticism for their extravagant lifestyle and using their titles to support political agendas.

Royal expert warns Meghan Markle of an unexpected ‘problem’ she could soon face

According to royal commentator Neil Sean, Meghan’s reputation could be affected by another “problem” in the future. Sean pointed out that, in the near future, there are books coming out about Meghan. The authors of these books might talk to people who have secrets about the duchess.

“These particular books are really interesting, I find,” Sean said in a YouTube video, “because when you get an unauthorized biography, what you normally find—and I’ve written quite a few myself—is that people come out of the woodwork wanting to reveal all.”

Sean went on to note that, while it’s possible these people are discarded friends, others could be people that one would overlook, such as waiters and cab drivers.

“These are the people that—and I don’t mean this rudely—tend to blend in,” Sean said. “When you get in a cab and you think the cab driver is not listening. They’re always listening. And that’s going to be the biggest problem for Meghan going forward.”

One author Sean mentioned is Tom Bower, who is writing a biography about Meghan. In an interview with Closer, Bower also advised Meghan to make amends with some people in her life, such as her estranged father, Thomas Markle.

“She and her father had a very different relationship – growing up, they were really very close,” Bower said. “She was really family-orientated when she was younger, but she seems to have completely erased memories of that and disowned him. Similarly, she cut off her ex-husband when her career started taking off. She seems to me to be a very ambitious, unforgiving person.”

Bower added, “But I think, much to her dismay, more will come out. I think Thomas is keeping some things back and that he has a lot of embarrassing stuff on her. There are skeletons in the closet and, when provoked, I think the secrets could all come out.”
