Meghan Markle’s 2025 makeover sends a ‘clear message’ and she’s ‘reclaiming her identity’
If anyone is determined to make 2025 their year, it’s the Duchess of Sussex. Despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quitting the royal family and beginning afresh in California in order to embrace a quieter family life, the former Suits actress practically broke the internet when she made a sensational return to social media.
But the actress, who shares children Archie, five, and three year old Lilibet with hubby Harry, didn’t stop there when it came to the mantra ‘new year, new me’ as she also revealed a major career announcement in the form of a Netflix culinary series called With Love, Meghan. Now, according to a source, Meghan’s shock rebrand could be sending a very strong message – and it’s one that people may not realise.
“Meghan has been taking the past year to work on her brand and try to move on from the drama surrounding the royal family. She is still angry about how she was treated but she’s realised that the public have grown tired of them slating the royals constantly and that in order to have a long career in the media, she needs a fresh start.
“Not using her title was very important to her as she can’t be accused of cashing in on her royal connections and she wants to be known just as Meghan – it’s all part of her brand launch. She wants this to prove to Netflix bosses that she is a bankable star in her own right and she wants viewers to warm to her again.”
Brand expert Denise Palmer-Davies, director of female-led PR firm Borne Media, agrees that this could very well be a move to win back the public and become a “major asset” again.
