Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been told they must stop “slagging off the Royal Family” if they want to rebuild their brand, a royal expert has said.
Phil Dampier told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive the Sussexes have “made their point” with their Netflix series and Harry’s book Spare.
He said: “They’ve got new PR people and if they listen to their PR people – sometimes people don’t listen to their PR people – but if they listen to their PR people, I’m sure they’re telling them that right, you’ve made your point, you’ve had Spare, you’ve had Netflix, you’ve had the Oprah Winfrey interview, you’ve got it all off your chest.
“Now’s the time to row back a bit and try and try and build some bridges or at least create a life for yourself.”
Commenting on the couple’s tour of Nigeria, he added: “Obviously the Nigeria trip they were trying to do that, the jury’s out as to whether that was a good idea.
“I mean, some people call it a sort of ‘quasi’ Royal Tour and I’m not sure that the palace would have been particularly happy about it.
“But we can’t stop them doing these things if they want to.
“But it’s now time for them to focus on positive things and not just keep slagging off the Royal Family.”
