How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle burned bridges in Hollywood
The Mercury News
“Taking on Harry and Meghan was a great coup for Netflix,” U.K.-based public relations and branding expert Mark Borkowski told The Wrap. “It probably got a lot of eyeballs and subscriptions, but they (Harry and Markle) never delivered.”
As for the couple’s rebrand, it’s not their first effort to try to find new ways to promote themselves as entertainment innovators, humanitarians or global thought leaders. Last month, the couple launched Sussex.com, their third website in four years, with their representatives saying it would bring their various charitable and commercial endeavors “under one umbrella.”
Critics say the Sussex.com site mainly serves to amplify the couple’s connections to their duke and duchess titles, as well to the monarchy, even after they spent the past few years alleging that the institution was dysfunctional, out of touch, cruel and possibly racist.
