Meghan Markle has hired a new PR guru in a bid to tackle a “popularity problem” in the UK.
The Duchess of Sussex was searching for an expert to help improve her popularity across Europe.
Meghan has now hired an executive to handle British and European media.
Earlier this week, a PR expert described the possibility of working for the Sussexes as a “s**tsandwich.”

They added that representing the royal couple was a “tantalising” opportunity but many would turn it down due to a fear of the Sussexes not listening to them.
They told the Mail: “This is a s**t sandwich that many senior PR people will not be willing to eat. Many will turn it down.
“Representing the couple in the UK is a tantalising thought but they don’t have a reputation for listening to advice. What would be the point?”
However, Nick Ede, chief executive of East of Eden PR, said that Meghan’s recruitment of a PR executive showed her popularity in the UK is still important to her.

Ede said: “I would think that to bring a positive spin on her good work and her philanthropic side is very important to her — even recently with the work she does with the Mayhew she has shown her commitment to the causes she cares about.”
In February, Meghan Markle undertook a surprise engagement in London via video link at Mayhew Animal Home.
The Duchess virtually opened a new wing of an animal charity named in honour of her late friend, Oli Juste.
Meghan met dog trainer Juste in 2019, just three years before he died in January 2022.

In January 2019, the former working royal became patron of The Mayhew, the animal shelter based in London.
In the video message watched by Juste’s friends and family, Meghan said: “A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at Mayhew who have worked tirelessly to bring this dream to life.
“It was so important to find a way to celebrate Oli’s memory in a manner that he would have loved.
“Mayhew is a beacon of hope for those in need and a shining example of what can be achieved when we work together.”
