Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle contemplating a rebranding strategy that might further distance themselves from their royal ties? Royal writer, Tom Bower, suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might be leaning towards taking on Princess Diana's maiden name, 'Spencer,' to resonate more with Harry's late mother's legacy.
Bower shared during a recent GB News episode, "Meghan's real objective in her life is to be Diana, that has always been her passion. That has also been Harry's passion." He elaborated, "Meghan has gone to the extent of suggesting to drop the surname Windsor and take the surname Spencer, so she would be Meghan Spencer."
According to the author, this potential name change isn't an impromptu thought but appears to be a premeditated strategy. He added, "This is not something that has just come up in their minds. They're actively trying to recast themselves as Harry and Meghan Spencer."
The news surfaces amidst challenging times for the Sussexes, who are facing public scrutiny over various incidents, such as the Spotify's cancellation of Meghan's podcast, 'Archetypes.' Their New York City car chase incident also stoked controversy, with many speculating the couple had sensationalized the event for publicity.
Bower, in this context, suggested that the Sussexes' relative quiet during the storm of negative press might indicate they are preparing for a significant revelation.
Earlier reports by OK! unveiled that WME, a Hollywood agency representing the Duchess, has been relentlessly working on Meghan's resurgence. An inside source divulged, "[WME agent Ari] Emanuel, is the best in the business when it comes to corporate deals and making money. He's excited to be representing Meghan and has thrown all his energy into it. The offers have been pouring in, including from other podcast platforms."
The source dismissed rumors of Meghan's involvement with the high-end fashion label Dior, clarifying that no such engagement was in the pipeline.
The speculation surrounding Harry and Meghan's potential surname switch indicates their intent to align more closely with Princess Diana's legacy, which could signal a significant shift in their public persona.
