Meghan Markle has delayed the premiere of her Netflix series, which has resulted in criticism from one royal expert saying she would be hesitant to work with the Sussexes.
When appearing on TalkTV, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said: “We have this conversation all the time, about this very bizarre PR strategy, that I believe is driven by Meghan Markle of ‘hurry up and announce’ and then absolute silence for months.”
Schofield is referring to Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which was originally planned to release on January 25 but was pushed back to March 4 out of respect for those effected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.
Schofield also takes pause with Meghan’s lifestyle blog, American Riviera Orchard, which was soft-launched last year, and experienced some delays, but is now scheduled to go live in tandem with the TV series.
Schofield doesn’t agree with making an announcement and then pumping the breaks, that in her opnion it comes across as disorganized.
When asked about the program, Ms. Pagnoni Fabiani said: “I’m really looking forward to With Love, Meghan.”
She added: “I think it will be an interesting project, especially if it gives her the chance to tell her story in an authentic way, without external filters”
“I’d love to see aspects of her that haven’t been shown before, and I think the audience needs the opportunity to know her beyond headlines.”
While the Duchess does receive a lot of criticism, she also has a lot of support, and that’s one of the reasons we reached out to Fabiani, to ask about the fanbase.
Pagnoni Fabiani said: “I can confidently say that support for Meghan is very strong.”
She suggests it is there, it just doesn’t make the headlines as much as the criticism does with the “noise of controversy” being much louder.
She added: “In the comments and messages I receive, people admire her grace, empathy, and commitment.”
“Many relate to the challenges she has faced and see her as a positive role model, especially for women who want to have an independent voice.”
