A right royal cash in! How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle trademarked over 100 items from hoodies to socks SIX MONTHS before split with monarchy – with new empire worth up to £400m

Daily Mail

PR expert Mark Borkowski, who has worked with Noel Edmonds and Graham Norton, suggested that the Sussex ‘brand’ could rival that of the House of Windsor.

He said: ‘Harry loves Meghan and can see what she’s going through and, influenced also by what he saw, what he experienced with his mother, he didn’t want to see the woman he loves go through it. ‘They’ve had their time to think about it and they’re now separated totally from the royal family and we will now see the Sussex brand, you know, and we’ll see something which is going to be a very powerful foundation or brand outside the royal family.

‘And that’s possibly the most dangerous thing for the royal brand. Could they become more potent? Could they have a world focus in a way the House of Windsor can’t?’

Mr Borkowski said Meghan and Harry stand to make ‘a fortune’ due to the demand for the Sussex brand in countries such as China, India and the US. He said: ‘They are going to, they have to make a lot of money to fuel the lifestyle and everything that they need.

‘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.

‘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.’

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.

Wax figures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been swiftly removed from the Royal Family set at Madame Tussauds just hours after the couple announced they would be stepping back as senior royals.

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”.
