Meghan Markle warned not to use royal titles if she returns to Instagram over 'Catch-22' fears

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Meghan Markle is being advised to keep references to her royal titles to a bare minimum when she returns to Instagram. Reports have been rampant that the Duchess of Sussex is planning to relaunch her profiles on social media and she’s got her sights set on Instagram as the first platform.There has been no official confirmation that Meghan wants to make her presence known online publicly again but one PR expert reckons the former Suits actress would do well to stay clear of any association to her in-laws.

He also thinks she should keep her royal titles under wraps if she wants to dominate on the platform. GoUp's PR and reputation management expert, Edward Coram-James told Express.co.uk: "So, reopening her social media accounts risks further inflaming the narrative that Meghan quite likes attention. "Furthermore, having active and product promoting social media accounts is not considered very royal behaviour.

Meghan has created a bit of a catch-22 for herself here.“If she opens her social media accounts, using her titles and royal influence as key elements of her brand, but uses them for product placement and political messaging (remember, the royals are supposed to be commercially and politically neutral), it will open her up to a lot of potential criticism of abusing the cultural norms that go with a thousands of years old tradition."He added: "It could be argued that another of her biggest mistakes is that she has confused her branding.

She has tried to carve out a special, never held before niche for herself in which she redefines what royalty means."But she has not been successful and has instead come across as trying to bend royalty to suit her own needs, cherry picking the best bits while eschewing all the rest.
