Meghan Markle could win over Netflix critics with one simple move, expert reveals

The trailer for Meghan Markle's new Netflix series has received very mixed reactions, but she could soon see everyone onboard. The Duchess of Sussex has had to postpone the release of With Love, Meghan out of concern for the ferocious fires sweeping through Southern California. The series was set to kick off on Jan 15, but has been pushed back to March 4.
A teaser for the show shows Meghan performing tasks such as choosing fresh flowers, harvesting honey, kneading homemade bread, and working in the kitchen. The streaming giant described the series in a press release as an "inspiring series" that "reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old".
But many are sceptical about the show based on how unrelatable and "out-of-touch" it seems in today's society. According to one PR expert, there is one thing that Meghan can do to turn her critics around. Edward Coram James, CEO of Go Up , said that the Duchess needs to flip the narrative of being "out-of-touch" and instead use it to her advantage.
He told Express.co.uk: "I think she's stuck between two identities: the everywoman and the duchess. She needs to pick a lane. "If Meghan wants to be aspirational, she should embrace her ex-royal identity and lean into the glamour, the intrigue, and the exclusivity. Stop pretending to be relatable and instead own the fact that she has a life most people can't imagine. Own the out-of-touch narrative but flip it: 'I've lived in rarefied spaces, and I want to use that access to make a change.'".
