Ever since she and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-harry\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Harry<\/a> stepped back from their senior royal roles five years ago, the Duchess of Sussex has tried her hand <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Meghan Markle announced as keynote speaker at major celebrity event next week\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/2042727\/meghan-markle-time100-summit-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at everything from podcasting<\/a>, philanthropy and fashion to working in TV production and using her platform to become a lifestyle influencer.<\/p>\n<p>It is this quickly changing and unsettled approach which has led to little long-term success for Meghan, the expert says. This becomes even clearer when you contrast her tactic to the one favoured by <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Princess Kate, Princess of Wales\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/kate-middleton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Princess of Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/royals\/34462258\/meghan-markle-biggest-business-flops-netflix-spotify-podcast\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speaking to The Sun<\/a> about Meghan&#8217;s &#8220;slap-dash&#8221; approach, brand and culture expert Nick Ede says: \u201cMeghan hasn\u2019t really earned her stripes yet. She\u2019s not the fashionista yet, she\u2019s not the cook yet, she\u2019s not the make-up expert yet. Nothing feels particularly rounded in actual knowledge, so people begin to turn off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been on this journey with Harry and Meghan, but when we get to the crux of it, it never goes anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything feels like a scattergun approach. Nothing seems thought out or strategised. She and Harry seem to think, \u2018Yes, I\u2019ll take the money, and work out what to do afterwards.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Compare this to the Princess of Wales, and her success is clearly down to one difference.<\/p>\n<p>While the princess has been shy at times and certainly began her royal journey in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-william\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince William<\/a>\u2019s shadow, she has placed a steely focus on only supporting a handful of charities and building up an expertise in early years development.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Princess Kate has become a well-respected expert who is looked up to for the real passion and graft that has gone into making a real change in this area.<\/p>\n<p>She is also well-placed to navigate any difficulties her children come up against and previously described her passion for early childhood as her \u201clife\u2019s work\u201d when she launched her programme, Shaping Us, two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>It is a tactic which led former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/bbc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a> royal correspondent Jennie Bond to tell OK!: \u201cShe has learned the craft of being royal over a number of years and earned her place as a senior member of the family. Gradually, she has also earned the respect of the public and, I believe, of the rest of the family. We look at her now not just as William\u2019s wife, but as our future Queen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the last few years, Meghan Markle has launched a number of different ventures, but according to a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,1281,2832,532,8606,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-28815","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-meghan-markle","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-prince-william","15":"tag-princess-kate","16":"tag-princess-of-wales","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family","19":"tag-uk-royal-family","20":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114356025011488847","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
