Meghan Markle shows her ‘true self’ with latest move, claims expert

Meghan Markle has received praise from a PR expert, who believes her high-profile 2025 comeback signifies the duchess embracing her true personality. The Duchess of Sussex introduced her new Instagram handle, @meghan, on January 1st, with a regularly updated list of updates.

Following the Instagram launch, a trailer for her upcoming Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, was released, and her podcast collaborator, Lemonada Media, hinted at new content on the horizon. A PR expert praised Meghan for adopting the influencer archetype and catering to a particular audience, despite the criticism that some have expressed for the first trailer for her lifestyle series, which is scheduled for January 15.

Renae Smith, founder and director of The Atticism, told the Express, “Meghan’s recent ventures are quite the spectacle – it’s been a great treat to see how they’ve been received.

“At first glance, the meticulously curated posts (the running on the beach, drawing 2025 in the sand with the giggle at the end) and the show’s polished trailer might seem overly saccharine, perhaps even contrived. “

She continued, “But Meghan finally embracing her authentic self in this alignment with the influencer archetype.” She’s now presenting a version that resonates with her true inclinations after years of working toward a more profound public persona.

The lavish settings (at a hired mansion), idealized depictions of domestic bliss, and aspirant lifestyle content reflect her true brand identity, not deviation. This strategy seems to appeal to a group of people who view such opulence as the pinnacle of ambition. For once, it screams on brand. “

Meghan’s choice to embrace her “authentic self” by adopting the influencer lifestyle is a “smart long-term decision,” according to Ms. Smith, because it means her story “finally feels aligned with who she truly is.” She elaborated: “From a PR perspective, I actually think this is a smart long-term move for her. Working with someone who is being authentic makes the job infinitely simpler in PR, despite the fact that we can shape narratives and employ some smoke and mirrors.

One of the simplest aspects of this job is crafting Meghan’s story as a lifestyle aspirational influencer for her target audience because it finally feels true to who she really is. “
