Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to the UK could reportedly prove to be beneficial for the Duchess of Sussex. The royal couple will reportedly be visiting the UK in July to attend the one-year countdown events for the Invictus Games. The trip is said to be focused not only on the Invictus Games. It will also give them an opportunity to reconnect with the royal family. While the visit is expected to bring the family together after a long time apart, sources suggest that Markle also sees it as an opportunity to strengthen her commercial endeavors.
Sources unpack why Prince Harry’s UK trip could be the biggest win for Meghan Markle
Prince Harry’s upcoming trip to the UK could reportedly be a major boost for Meghan Markle. The couple is said to be planning to travel with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The trip comes at a crucial time for Markle regarding her professional ambitions.
Recently, multiple reports suggested that Markle’s lifestyle brand ‘As Ever’ has been struggling. Some reports even claimed that it had gone bankrupt. However, her spokesperson dismissed the bankruptcy claims. They stated that the brand is performing fine, although online traffic figures reportedly tell a different story.
Additionally, Netflix reportedly ended its partnership tied to ‘As Ever’ and the third season of “With Love, Meghan.” With that, speculation has grown around the couple’s current professional standing and future projects.
A source told Radar Online that if everything goes well during the UK visit, Markle stands to benefit significantly. They noted that she knows that being seen in Britain carries symbolic value. Plus, she is aware that photos alongside members of the royal family can bring a level of “prestige” that money cannot buy.
Markle’s lifestyle brand is built around themes of elegance and exclusivity. Hence, she knows that a successful UK trip could help generate the kind of attention and visibility she needs, the source feels. This is especially at a time when several of her projects are under scrutiny. The insider added, “In many ways, she’s looking for some of that royal magic to rub off on her brand again.”
