Royal expert Kinsey Schofield pointed out that Meghan Markle is all over the place."The problem with Meghan's brand is that it's inconsistent and erratic," she noted. "Her countless business ventures don't come across as ambitious. They feel like the efforts of someone who can't commit to a single project."
"If she doesn't develop some brand cohesion soon, audiences will grow numb to yet another launch or rebrand, especially when she hasn't yet excelled in any one arena," the podcaster continued.
