How bad is Duchess Meghan's professional future?
Statements in a trial could have fatal consequences for Prince Harry's wife.
Duchess Meghan is suing the British newspaper
Mail on Sunday
.
New key witness statements could now put the Duchess in a bad light - and thus negatively impact Meghan's further career.
An expert also sees another stumbling block for the future of Meghan and Harry.
Montecito / London -
Duchess Meghan makes
headlines again?
Some time has passed
since
Meghan and Prince Harry's
fateful decision
to turn their backs on the British royal family and go to Canada.
Again and again, however, messages followed that
did not leave
the
Duchess
in the best light - from internals divulged from the palace to a recent dispute in which Meghan is said to have even quarreled with the Queen.
In the latest "scandal",
Duchess Meghan
*
threatens,
in the worst case, a
real PR disaster
that could even have long-term effects on the future of the 39-year-old.
The background to this is a
lawsuit
against the British newspaper
Mail on Sunday
.
This is said to have published a letter that is said to have only been intended for her
father Thomas
.
Duchess Meghan: Key witness statement in court dispute could completely destroy your reputation
Meghan's father
, however, stated that he had given the letter to the
press
himself
.
The reason: he wanted to
refute rumors
about him in an article in the US magazine
People
.
Meghan * commented on the
same
People
article: Four of her friends had passed on information for the text without her knowledge.
This was reported, among other things, by the affected
Mail on Sunday
itself.
This claim of the
Duchess
is now to be her undoing.
The other side's lawyers want to prove that
Meghan commissioned
the
campaign
herself.
She is said to have used the
press
to make her own father bad.
Before
court
as a
key witness
against
Meghan
testify now want four of its former employees.
Meghan and Harry * had fired 15 of their employees before moving to the USA - and these four now seem
to have conspired
against the
Duchess
.
Should the allegations against Meghan * actually prove to be true in court, it would
probably damage
her
reputation
permanently.
The
Duchess's credibility
is - especially in the
charity sector
- extremely important.
If she actually defamed her own father, she would certainly gamble away sympathy with her contacts.
Harry and Meghan: Expert denounces further PR errors - "death trap"
Another
PR error
that Meghan and Harry * are currently
making is
an
expert who is
currently
denouncing
the decision to have withdrawn from
social media
.
The couple has been quiet
on
,
and other portals
since April 2020
.
"We'll use
social media
again when it feels right," Prince Harry is said to
have recently declared,
according to the British tabloid
The Express
.
The
brand expert Eric Schiffer then
expressed
criticism of this approach
in
The Express
.
Social media abstinence
is "a death trap for a brand trying to be an entertainment brand." Whether the couple's decisions - both in terms of their visibility on
social media
and in terms of the
legal process
- were correct remains to be seen probably still have to show (

Despite the social media break, the couple has not disappeared from the public eye.
Just recently, Meghan and Harry surprised with a podcast.
The first episode even featured son Archie.
