In a move perceived as calculated and strategic, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, deliberately chose to bypass the glittering 2024 Golden Globe Awards and other high-profile Hollywood events, according to insights from PR expert Ed Hopkins.
In an exclusive conversation with Fabulous Magazine, Hopkins emphasized the significance of the royal couple's positioning in their Hollywood pursuits, stating, "Their future in Hollywood and beyond depends largely on how they reposition themselves."
Speculating on a potential career relaunch for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Hopkins outlined the importance of aligning their projects with personal values and public causes, leveraging their unique standing as figures straddling the line between royalty and celebrity.
Analysing Meghan Markle's decision to eschew attendance at star-studded events, the royal commentator suggested that this move signals an intent to reshape her public persona. The shift appears to pivot towards engagements that better resonate with her personal ethos and philanthropic ambitions.
Hopkins proposed several career avenues for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including documentary work, public speaking engagements, or book deals focusing on topics close to their hearts, explicitly excluding autobiographies.
The key, he emphasised, is for the California-based couple to find a niche where they can be both influential and genuine.
