However they move forward, Harry and Meghan will come under considerable scrutiny related to their income, said Mark Borkowski, founder and head of British public relations firms, Borkowski PR.

“It’s going to be incredibly difficult to generate clean money, not just over one year, but year in and year out to maintain that,” Borkowski said.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s decision to ‘escape’ looks like a carefully laid plan

The Guardian

The problem for the Sussexes, said PR guru Mark Borkowski, is the cost of living in North America, even royalist Toronto, coupled with the cost of security – testing, he says, even for the Beckhams – requires deep pockets and the couple will have to be highly selective and judicious in their choice of commercial hook-ups.

“The foundation they’re setting up has real purpose and they want to be embrace better-world projects so any charity donations or investment has to be clean money,” said Borkowski, mindful of the wave of scandals currently plaguing institutional and foundational gifting.

“The type of people who want to launder their image through the royals are exactly the kind of people they need to keep away from. They don’t have a lot of choice so they’ll have to do a lot of commercial deals that might cheapen what they’re trying to do. So it’s difficult water to navigate.

“They’ll be a force to be reckoned with but it’s a long journey and there’s always another circus coming to town,” Borkowski added.

Whatever course they choose to follow, he advises, don’t look to the Kardashians and Jenners.

“They may look to them as a great machine, a multinational corporation exploiting celebrity at every turn, but that’s different from acting as a hybrid NGO for good. They’re going to have to sell more than a few mugs and plates to make this thing real.”

Retail expert predicts Harry & Meghan’s revenue could hit £400m a year, if not more

Royal Central

PR expert Mark Borkowski told the Daily Mail that this global appeal will help them cash in not just in their new home base in North America, but worldwide. “I think around the world – China, America, South East Asia, India, parts of Europe – people will be falling over to get brand connections with them. They will make a fortune.”

He added, however, that they’re going to need this fortune if they plan to be totally financially independent. “…They have to make a lot of money to fuel the lifestyle and everything that they need,” he said. “It’s not that easy to separate yourself, security issues alone are enormous, and they are a target for security – how they live, how they operate.”

“Harry and Meghan want heel lickers around them, not real journalists”

AD

The British public relations guru and writer Mark Borkowski (61) believes that only a small part of the British public will understand the decision of Harry and Meghan to distance themselves from the British royal family. “The majority will regard this as selfish behavior by someone cherished by the establishment,” says Borkowski by phone from Thailand.

The Standard
 
A series of commentators have strongly criticised their decision with public relations and crisis consultant Mark Borkowski saying about the Sussexes: “It does feel like a royal couple in exile”.

What has happened to Nigella Lawson? On the brink of her 60th birthday, the food writer and cooking show host has no TV work, new books or romance and is taking lessons from a confidence coach

PR guru Mark Borkowski comments: ‘Nigella has not successfully found a new image to inhabit. The food market is changing all the time and her big ideas are probably not big enough.’

PR expert says Harry and Meghan could ‘make a fortune’ with Sussex ‘brand’

PR expert Mark Borkowski, who has worked with Noel Edmonds and Graham Norton, told the PA news agency: “This is what was always going to be the case, I think.

“I think Meghan never quite understood what it was to be at the front and centre of the royal family, married to perhaps one of the most famous young royals, and, you know, really couldn’t take the protocol and started to create the Sussex royal brand, very powerfully and linked very much to what they thought was important – mental health, many of the other charitable aspects.

“And gradually they were, and we saw that with the announcement of the birth of their child, they didn’t play to royal protocol and they suffered the slings and arrows of all that, action from the media who clearly found it odd in the way that they were communicating the birth and communicating news on Instagram and not playing the game.

“I think what’s actually happened is they’ve suffered a lot of negative PR. They want to do good and they’ve separated themselves.”

Mr Borkowski suggested that the Sussex “brand” could rival that of the House of Windsor…

“The art and cost of hiding companies’ negative news on the internet”

Stuff

Other companies go even further and create fake news articles and misleading positive reviews. Mark Borkowski, a public relations veteran, says his company does some online reputation management for customers, but he warns that in the industry “there are a lot of snake oil salesmen and a lot of nefarious people you wouldn’t want to share a drink with on a night out”.

Year of trials and tribulations for Britain’s royals

France24

Andrew was dogged throughout the year by allegations that he had sex with one of the victims of US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein when she was a teenager.

Andrew’s attempts to clear his name in a BBC interview in November could have hardly gone worse.

The prince looked stiff and unapologetic — a performance akin to “watching a man in quicksand”, according to PR consultant Mark Borkowski.

Tesco ‘forced labour’ story shows challenges to brands from supply chains

PRWeek

Supermarket has suspended agreement with Chinese business behind charity Christmas cards until investigation concludes.

PR luminary Mark Borkowski acknowledged the promptness of Tesco’s response, noting that a few years ago its crisis management function would not have been so agile.

“But the question is: what the hell is their supply chain doing?” he told Campaign. “It creates a bigger question about the very country where many companies are sourcing a large quantity of what they are selling in the UK. There’s not enough scrutiny on the very area of work that demands the greatest scrutiny, because it delivers economically.

“At the end of the day, people are struggling and austerity is a killer, while Tesco is facing massive competition on price from the likes of Lidl and Aldi.”

The irony that Tesco’s cards are sold to raise money for charity but are produced in a country renowned for questionable human rights was not lost on Borkowski: “If you talk about purpose, you can no longer use it as virtue-signalling gibberish.”
