Inside Meghan Markle’s image repair job
Meghan Markle is deliberately seeking to transmit a humble image on her trip to South Africa in a concerted attempt to shift opinion in her favor after a “summer of hell” in which she was criticized as elite, difficult and out-of-touch.
As part of the campaign, The New York Post reports, Meghan has been photographed sitting on the floor with fellow moms, hugging impoverished kids, wearing cheap-ish clothes (on her first royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga, Meghan wore Stella McCartney and Oscar de la Renta, this time it’s a Madewell denim jacket) and has also left her $140,000 engagement ring at home.
