Meghan Markle’s new career as the world’s biggest influence

Now that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially separated from the royal family, some experts think the duchess will be pursuing a new career.

As one of the world’s most recognized women, the former Suits actress could begin to use her influence as an influencer. It would be a timely move as the old royalty will no longer be suppressed by strict rules that would have prohibited it from aligning with brands, companies, and organizations for monetary gain.

It makes sense too. After all, Meghan’s potential as a fashion influencer is well documented and she previously led lifestyle brand, The Tig, before becoming a full-time royalty.

Speaking to Town and Country, the journalist behind the royal fashion blog, So Many Thoughts, Elizabeth Holmes, said that even if Meghan followed the influencer’s path, she would still be “really careful” which brands to associate with.

“Obviously, anyone would give them anything, but I think they will be very careful,” said the fashion journalist.

“I think Meghan’s power as a wardrobe will continue. There are very few people, even among celebrities, who have the kind of economic power to move goods the way real women do, so I hope and think she will choose with watch out “.

In particular, on her royal tour of 2018 in Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand with Prince Harry, Meghan decided to promote Australian brands, as well as those that supported ethical or sustainable values.

On his sartorial hit list was Outland Denim (an Australian denim company that employs victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation), the Vejas sneaker label, which is made from recycled and fair-sourced materials and Reforma, a New York famous for its use of dead material and social media campaigns.

As reported by The Guardian, Outland Denim website traffic increased by 3,000 percent with sales figures to boot. Thanks to the advertising, the company was able to employ 30 other seamstresses to work at its Cambodian production house.

In short, you’re unlikely to make a Kardashian move and take advantage of the slimming teas or lollipops that promise flattening skills.

He has also used his global platform to highlight charities and causes close to his heart.

When asked to edit the September 2019 issue of British Vogue, he titled the topic ‘Forces for Change’, giving the fashion magazine a humanitarian twist. The cover was shared by 15 women known for their work in the defense field of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, even Orange is the New Black actress and LGBTQIA + icon Laverne Cox.

The Instagram she shares with her husband Prince Harry @sussexroyal also regularly shares charities and projects the couple are passionate about. Every month they profile an Instagram account with a community, humanitarian or philanthropic angle. So far they have included the likes of Jameela Jamil @i_weigh, @goodnews_movement and social enterprise @luminaryBakery moment of body positivity.

Although Meghan posting publicly from her Instagram would be a new development, it has long been suspected that the Duchess is actually the mastermind behind @sussexroyal.

It was a subtle hint, but in an April 2019 post, fans noticed the use of the subtitle for the word “diapers”, despite being commonly called “diapers” in the UK.

One of those believers was the royal commentator, Patricia Treble, who as a result hypothesized that the duchess was the one who wrote the post.

Real ITV editor Chris Ship agreed, tweeting: “I think it’s a fact …”

The former royal couple received criticism for their decision to abandon real life in favor of private life, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince William have been instrumental in guiding to the British through the crisis.

In contrast, Harry and Meghan deviated from their declared Vancouver destination to take refuge in Los Angeles and have outlined a new media strategy that includes “zero commitment” with certain tabloid newspapers.

The couple seems to be using the time to focus on new activities. Meghan recently partnered with Disney Plus as narrator for the documentary, Elephants and Prince Harry has continued her sponsorship with Invictus Games and went to Twitter on May 11 to mark what would have been the games opening ceremony. The couple are also said to be working on a documentary series with Oprah Winfrey.

And while an influence on social media would certainly not be conventional, Meghan and Prince Harry have always deviated from the royal norm.
