“The media’s brutal response, fueled by their misguided PR actions, has put them in a position where co-branding is no longer feasible,” he added.
The CEO of marketing agency Go Up pointed out how Harry and Meghan were doing “a lightning rod for criticism” when they approached projects as a team.
“If Meghan and Harry want to make 2025 their year, they need to focus on what they do best and take a break from their joint projects,” Corman-James continued. “Meghan must play to her strengths: her acting career, her philanthropic work and her brand as a pioneer in women’s rights.”
Speaking further about Meghan, he noted: ‘She could easily tap into Hollywood again, using her acting experience, without the baggage of a duchess. Acting offers her the opportunity to shape her image, far from the royal narrative that has been imposed on her. A carefully crafted acting comeback could help her rebuild a fan base and create a new, more positive legacy.”
