Meghan's social media bad luck: early harvest causes sharp criticism!

Meghan Markle is under fire again after sharing a picture of the harvest from her garden on social media. The post, which shows a dog sniffing a basket of fresh fruit and vegetables, was captioned: "The unofficial quality controller of the morning's garden bounty." However, in the comments, users noted inconsistencies, such as the lack of mud on the vegetables and the inappropriateness of the May harvest time for certain vegetables such as corn, squash and peppers. Critics speculate that Markle may have been shopping at the supermarket or a farmers market rather than actually showing off her own harvest. These controversies come on the heels of her announcement that she was stepping away to evaluate the progress of her lifestyle brand, further complicating public perception of the situation. oe24 reports, that this criticism is not the first of its kind.

Back in February, there were mixed reactions to an incident in which Markle posted a behind-the-scenes video of her upcoming Netflix series. The clip, which showed moments with her husband, Prince Harry, and crew members, was deleted and re-uploaded shortly after it was posted. PR expert Chad Teixeira suggested that this could be a pulled PR move to increase interactivity and maintain their brand visibility. This strategy is particularly relevant as Meghan has an £80 million deal with Netflix and is planning a new lifestyle series that aims to put a new twist on the lifestyle programming genre. Lawyer Monthly exposed the different facets of Meghan Markle's media strategy, which generates both praise and criticism.

Challenges in the lifestyle industry

The launch of Markle's first episode of the series "With Love, Meghan," in which she shows off various DIY projects, took place on Tuesday. These projects include making bath salts and harvesting honey from her own beehive to promote her new lifestyle label, As Ever. The product line will launch in the spring and includes offerings such as spreads, teas and mixes for crepes and cookies. Business Insider notes, that Meghan is going back to her roots as a blogger, which could please many fans.

Despite her vision to emerge as a lifestyle mogul, Meghan faces a highly competitive industry dominated by established brands like Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. Experts agree that to succeed in this saturated market, she must develop a unique sales approach. Her past as an actress and her experiences from her blog “The Tig” could serve as a foundation to position her brand authentically. The critics emphasize that Meghan should place a strong focus on her philanthropy to build trust and create a deeper connection with her audience, particularly young women and black women.

The challenges Markle faces are complex. Her extraordinary life story and the press trends make it difficult to create a simple narrative. Nevertheless, she could use the opportunity to market herself as a modern fairy tale character in order to communicate her products and her philosophy more clearly. Whatever the strategy, Meghan Markle is undoubtedly a figure who is causing a stir in both the public and the business world.
