Why Meghan Markle’s WME Agency PR Attempts To Make Her Likeable Have Dramatically Backfired

Since she has been the Duchess of Sussex after marrying Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, Meghan Markle has been through two Public Relations firms. First, she was with Sunshine Sachs, which was reportedly her agency when she was an actor; then, she joined WME agency as a client of Ari Emanuel, the CEO of WME and one of its top agents.

Also, what was Christine Weil Schrimer doing? She was Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Head of Communications at Archewell for ten months between October 2020 and June 2021. Now, according to her LinkedIn profile, she’s their Senior Advisor. She’s probably one of the few staff members at Archewell that is still there outside James Holt.

Did Serena Williams Play A Part In Getting Meghan Markle Signed With WME?

A rumour has been doing the rounds that Serena Williams played a role in getting Meghan signed with the WME Agency. Why would she do this? Well, she is one of the talent agency’s biggest stars in sports. Also, she and Markle are terrific friends, despite what the media wants people to think.

The rumour continues to say that the talent agency WME was strong-armed into representing Meghan as a favour to Serena. Also, they’ve allegedly given the partnership until at least April 2024, and if it doesn’t pan out where they can get Markle work, then it’s over. It has been six months since she was signed, and the only thing she (and Archewell) have gotten is permission to adapt Meet Me At The Lake, which Netflix bought for the organisation to make.

If this rumour is true, Serena will look very stupid when and if the whole deal goes belly up.

The Duchess Of Sussex Does The Opposite Of What She Says She Stands For

When Meghan Markle became involved with Prince Harry and became the Duchess of Sussex, her PR had to work overtime to dispel what she dubbed “smear campaign” pieces against her. One example was the tiara story. Another example was the bridesmaid dress disaster.

The Duchess of Sussex also does the opposite of what she says she stands for. For example, Tom Bower’s book, Revenge, is littered with stories of how cruel she was to female staff even before she got with Harry. She bullied staff on the Reitman’s set when she was doing ads for the brand. When the bullying accusations came out, she had a rep saying that it was against her character that she would bully anyone and that she had been bullied and stood with victims. This is such an obvious statement for someone trying to avoid getting into trouble. How many times we have heard this? It’s generic for all sorts of situations.

What Are The RUMOURS Behind The Sussexes Being Fired From Sunshine Sachs?

There was a rumour that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were fired from Sunshine Sachs due to unpaid invoices. If this were true, it would be horrible PR for them as it shows them as unreliable and even more talentless than they already are. If the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were talented and had a better work ethic, the rumours wouldn’t be making the rounds.

WME Talent Agency Is Working Overtime To Make The Duchess Of Sussex Out To Be Reliable

The WME agents are doing everything possible to make the Duchess of Sussex the kind person who wants to repair the rift with her more famous in-laws. Sorry, but it’s not working. Their target this time has been the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie.

There is no way Sophie, in particular, will ever recounsel with Meghan. Remember this photo?

Before this photo was taken for Sophie to give the Duchess of Sussex this look, something must have happened. This could be why the women shielded Charlotte and George from Meghan. Also, this picture speaks volumes. Look at how far away Meghan is standing from the others.

Meghan has isolated herself from her in-laws because she wants to sit on the throne and boss everyone around like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. Sorry, she knew she was marrying the spare, not the heir. Also, it takes time to build a reputation like Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has. She didn’t go into her courtship with Prince William to be Queen. No, she loves William for who he is as a person. She never cared that he was the future king or what it would do to her status in life.

However, when Meghan started her pursuit of Prince Harry, she thought he was worth a ton of money and did her PR on The Tig by throwing out subtle hints of who her boyfriend was. No one was biting, which is why she ordered Harry to put out a statement claiming she was racially harassed by the British media when the articles written about her that were “racist” were written by the US edition of a British newspaper by African-American journalists. This is what put her on the map.

If Sunshine Sachs Can’t Make People Change Their Minds, Never Can The WME Agency

In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s PR is an absolute mess. Sunshine Sachs couldn’t get her to work on anything other than self-indulgent projects where she takes swipes at her in-laws in whatever way she can. The WME Talent agency is not having any luck either.

Even the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s tax returns said they worked 52 hours each in a single week. For two people who claim to be working hard to make the world a better place, they sure are lazy. Sitting on your “thrones” at your “desk” scrolling through Twitter looking for “cruel” comments about yourselves isn’t working. It’s less than the bare minimum.
