Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'are on express train to obscurity', expert says
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry need to "make radical changes" amid reports their popularity is declining, one expert has suggested.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were savagely mocked in a recent episode of Family Guy, something the couple reportedly saw as an "outrageous slur" and unexpected "disaster". According to sources, the episode "cut the pair deep" and "tore them to shreds".
Public relations expert Ryan McCormick believes Harry and Meghan are "on the express train to obscurity" after hitting back at the episode. He suggested they need to change their brand and show they can respond well to satire.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry need a change in direction, according to an expert (zz/NDZ/STAR MAX/IPx)Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, the Co-Founder of Goldman McCormick Public Relations said: "From a PR perspective when gauging the trajectory in the present moment of the Duke and Duchess, they are on the express train to obscurity. Letting it be known how offended they are over this recent satire was not a constructive decision.

"In fact, this revelation will likely encourage more people to dislike them. Being a public figure gives you a number of unique privileges and it puts you on a pedestal for receiving both praise and criticism."
Ryan suggested that the couple could "do themselves a great service by incorporating self-deprecating humour into their lives". He added that they need to "laugh at themselves, and to not emotionally react when a TV show or well-known figure makes a joke at their expense".
They were recently mocked on Family Guy (FOX)He said it's interesting to consider Harry and Meghan's "character arc". Ryan told us: "Characters typically have arcs and once they are completed, they need something else to do/grow otherwise they'll get stale and the show will get boring and viewers will leave."
He continued: "The first few seasons of "Harry & Meghan" captivated the attention of millions and their whole "burn down the Royal Family" campaign was original, shocking, and unprecedented. However, that story arc has long been completed and attempts to re-hash it in books/interviews is only garnering diminishing returns."
He urged Meghan and Harry to stay away from their Royal Family drama and take their brand in a different direction. "In closing, if the Duke & Duchess were my clients, I would immediately advise them to make radical changes if they wish to change their current public perception trajectory not only in the US but, worldwide," he told us.
