Ten publicists in five years works out to about one new hire every six months. That’s faster than the average person changes their phone plan. And yet, here we are, with headlines screaming “Markle’s Image in Crisis.”
But pause for a second. Is it a crisis, or just a very expensive revolving door? In Hollywood, high-profile clients often burn through PR talent like fireworks on the Fourth of July—loud, bright, and over fast. Meghan might just be playing a different game than the rest of us.
Think about it: she’s not just promoting a movie. She’s selling a lifestyle brand, a podcast, a children’s book, and a personal narrative that refuses to be tamed. That’s like asking one person to juggle chainsaws while riding a unicycle.
What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes?
Some insiders whisper that Meghan is “difficult to manage.” But you know who else was difficult? Steve Jobs. Albert Einstein. Every artist who ever changed the world. Difficult sometimes just means “my standards are higher than your comfort zone.”

Imagine you’re a publicist. You craft a perfect statement about Archie’s first birthday. Then Meghan says, “Actually, let’s talk about the silence around unidentified drones over New Jersey instead.” That’s not a client—that’s a trailblazer who refuses to stick to the script.
And let’s not forget the royal factor. The British press has been compared to a pack of hungry wolves, and Meghan is the lone deer wearing glitter. No amount of PR spin can outrun that level of scrutiny. It’s like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt gun.
