Part 2/8:
Meghan’s Attempt at Reinventing Herself as a Lifestyle Guru
According to Roberts, Meghan's goal was to carve out a new persona as a lifestyle influencer, akin to Martha Stewart. She aimed to distance herself from her previous criticisms of the royal family and present herself as an independent, relatable figure.
However, this strategy backfired. The reception to her show was overwhelmingly negative, with critics describing it as "smug," "self-serving," and "narcissistic." Viewers found little value in the content—nothing new or insightful was offered. The series failed to establish Meghan as a credible personality in the lifestyle space, and the poor ratings underscored this failure.
