How ‘graceful’ kate middleton will help meghan markle's image

Meghan Markle is not afraid to do things differently but the former actress has faced fierce criticism from some royal commentators in recent months. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are

protective of their privacy they have been dealt flack for appearing to lead a celebrity lifestyle, hanging out with famous friends and taking private jets. Now Meghan has returned to work

from maternity leave, she is looking to restore her public image, a royal insider has claimed. Meghan got back to work last week and launched a charity womenswear collection after several

months off looking after baby Archie. The Duchess re-entered the public eye just days after she faced fierce scrutiny for her decision to take a solo trip to New York to watch her pal Serena

Williams play in the US Open final. Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 37, is a firm favourite with royal fans and Meghan is said to be looking to her sister-in-law for help, a royal source has

claimed. READ MORE: Kate Middleton pregnant: Duchess to have fourth child by 2020? The insider told the Sun: “She knows she needs to take radical action to get the public back on board and

allow people to fall for her again just like they did when she started dating Harry. “Meghan knows her reputation has taken a battering and she has made big mistakes, but she is convinced

she can turn it round.” The source claims Meghan has looked to her “constantly graceful and elegant” sister-in-law Kate for advice. They claim Kate’s “intuition for how ordinary British

people think and feel” is something Meghan is keen to assimilate. The source added: “Kate is a huge inspiration, as she has provided a princess masterclass since she married William, and

Meghan realises she has a lot to learn from her. “From now on we will see a very different Duchess of Sussex — one that is much more humble and considerate. One that is more like Kate,

basically.” Princess Diana’s former secretary Patrick Jephson shared his views on Meghan’s predicament in a new 60 Minutes documentary about the royal family. Mr Jephson claimed as an

American Meghan faces an added challenge when it comes to winning over the British public. He said Meghan should follow Princess Diana and the Queen’s examples if she is to prove popular

this side of the pond. Mr Jephson added: “I would say she needs to look at two legacies - the legacy of the Queen and I think she should study, really study her mother-in-law’s life, her

work, how she worked, how she chose her causes, why they worked, why things that she did resonated with ordinary British people. “Meghan isn’t and never has been an ordinary British person

so part of her challenge is to work out what it feels like, what it is to be an ordinary British person, not to be one but to understand how best to use her extraordinary influence and high

profile.” Meghan will face a new PR challenge when she and Prince Harry travel to Africa next week. Baby Archie Harrison will join them for the 10-day trip which will be their first royal

tour as a family.
