In Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix series With Love, Meghan and her team have reportedly put much effort into marketing her positive image. However, it all felt "inauthentic."
As a royal expert, Helena Chard claimed on Fox News Digital, "Meghan's team have helped her put a huge amount of positive marketing and branding spin into her Netflix series."
Her remarks come after an article in The New York Times, comparing the Suits actress to Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson about how the last two celebrities — embroiled in controversies in the past — overcame bad press.
"In time she may make a success within the lifestyle place," the British photographer shared. "However, this will take a long time as Meghan’s character does not fit this sickly-sweet picture."
"It feels inauthentic," she noted. "Like she is trying to fit in somehow by playing a very dated housewifey role… very odd and disempowering."
"She has spoken ill and ditched the majority of her family and friends, and this certainly doesn't conjure a picture of love and joy."
"I see Megan's Lifestyle series as dated," she continued. "She needs to add more to make her show modern and interesting."
"It would also help if she was a trained expert in the field. People may then buy into the brand she is building rather than choking on the smoke and mirrors." Helena concluded.
