How Meghan Markle’s Son Shifts Duchess’ Image As ‘Royal Family Outcast,’ ‘Bridezilla’

Meghan Markle’s son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, would be instrumental in changing the Duchess of Sussex’s negative image.

Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Express that the arrival of Markle and Prince Harry’s son has already shifted the “Suits” alum’s image as a royal family outcast, a bridezilla, and as someone who is difficult to work with.

“Royal babies have a power to bring people together and will douse flames of outrage surrounding the controversial Duchess of Sussex and create a halo of positivity for the royal family,” he said.

Markle gave birth to Archie on May 6 at 5:26 a.m. She and Prince Harry broke royal tradition by not introducing their son to the world shortly after his birth. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out Windsor Castle on May 8 to present Archie to the public.

Royal fans were surprised when they heard that Archie wouldn’t hold a royal title – at least as of now. The decision was another way of Markle and Prince Harry breaking royal tradition. Prior to their son’s birth, royal fans thought that he would be called Earl of Dumbarton.

This is not the first time that Markle and Prince Harry faced criticism for their decisions. Weeks before their son’s birth, the royal couple announced that they would keep the birth of their child private.

At that time, royal fans and experts thought that it would take Markle and Prince Harry quite sometime before they decide to introduce Archie to the world. But to their surprise, the couple shared the news of their son’s arrival and introduced him to everyone within two days after he was born.

Meanwhile, Markle was also portrayed as a bridezilla last year after reports swirled that she had outrageous demands ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry. The former Hollywood star was rumored to have requested some things from Queen Elizabeth II that were not granted by the monarch.
