Meghan Markle The new Netflix show has drawn comparisons with the works of the lifestyle -guru Martha Stewart and the celebrity chef Rachael Ray, but experts say that the Duchess of Sussex still has a lot to learn.
“With Love, Meghan”, who was premiered on March 4, followed the 43-year-old when she shared tips on cooking, hosting and garden gardens, while she performed with prominent friends and chefs on a property in Montecito, California.
Although the show was already renewed for a second season, it has received an overwhelming negative answer from critics.
The PR expert Doug Eldridge told Fox News Digital that Stewart and Ray followed two different marketing approaches when building their empires, but gave an essential joint component – one that Markle is currently missing.

“In marketing there is aspirational marketing and relatability marketing. Martha Stewart was aspiration; Rachael Ray was reliable. Every personality came from a different direction, but it managed to connect with their audience (because they were authentic), and climbed to the top of the lifestyle mountain,” said Eldrig.
He continued: “The connection comes in two forms, but regardless of the path or direction, the critical first step remains in every creative or marketing aftertacking.”
A lack of authenticity was one of the most present complaints from critics who questioned “with Love, Meghan” and Markle as hosts, and some noticed that the attitude of the show was a contributor.

The show was not shot in Montecito Home, which Markle shares with her husband Prince Harry (40) and her children Prince Archie (5) and with her husband Prince Harry Princess Lilibet, 3. In an interview with People Magazine, Markle explained why she decided instead that the show was shot in a rental property in her neighborhood.
“I wanted to protect this safe port,” she said The socket. “We are a close-meshed family, and I love to bring these moments lili for a nap, eating together for lunch, having holy time together at the end of the day.”
“In our kitchen, mom only cooks for the family, and with a crew of more than 80 people, there are many people in their house!” Markle added.

Against it, Stewart is iconic “Martha Stewart Living” Show was first shot in her house of the Turkey Hill Road in Westport, Connecticut, before production in Westport Digital Studios moved in Westport.
The production for Ray’s “The Rachana Ray Show” mainly took place in the Chelsea Television Studios in New York City, although some episodes were filmed in the house of the Food Network Stars in Lake Lucerne, New York.
While he spoke to Fox News Digital, Eldridge emphasized the importance of authenticity for a show or brand.
“Authenticity is like air humidity – you can’t see it, but you can go and feel in a room,” he said. “It is also important what Markle is trying to achieve. Authenticity promotes relativity, which in turn creates sympathy that is all needed for marketability.”
The PR expert found that the immense popularity of Markles-deceased mother-in-law, Princess Diana, is due to her authenticity.
“The connection comes from authenticity and relativity; the audience has to see something about themselves,” said Eldridge. “The reason why Diana was referred to as” The Volk’s Princess “is that people across Great Britain felt a connection to her – they were nevertheless the feeling that she was both” one of them “.

Ryan McCormick, Managing Director of Goldman McCormick PR, also shared his view of the comparisons between established lifestyle hosts such as Stewart and Ray and those who, like Markle, enter their footsteps.
“One of the largest comparable differences between the coupling of Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart and now Meghan Markle is how they communicate with their supporters,” he said. “Ray and Stuart speak directly to the viewer at home and give the feeling of being the only person in the world (promotes a strong connection). Both always teach and offer their audience.”
“Authenticity is like moisture – you can’t see it, but you can go and feel in one room. It is also important for what Markle tries to achieve.”
While McCormick noticed that “with love, Meghan” “beautifully filmed”, he said that Markle does not seem to be “committed to the audience”.
“The Duchess tells what happens in her life and she particularly likes to show you visually appetizing dishes. However, she does not show how you can do it (what Ray and Stuart do), ”he said.
McCormick also announced his observation that Markle’s on-screen behavior made it difficult for the audience to connect with her.
“I’m not sure if it was intended, but it seems that Markle seems to be guarded most of the time,” he said. “It can be a challenge for a viewer to connect to such a person compared to someone who is committed and open.”

“I am not sure whether it was intended, but it seems that Markle seems to be guarded most of the time. It can be a challenge for a viewer to connect to such a person compared to someone who is appealing and open.”

While he spoke to Fox News Digital, Elderige said that Markle was probably exposed to a tough fight when she tried to build her lifestyle empire.
“It is difficult; in the past 20 years, this has become an increasingly overcrowded space, and there are only a few” fresh ideas “from which you can draw,” he said. “At this point, it was less about talent or training as well as rather similar sympathy and charisma.”
“The latter creates an additional hurdle that makes Markle in case due to its polarizing reputation and its Q scores,” added Eldridge. “It is like a cross-country road trip with a slow leak in one of your mature sie could make it, but what would be a long, hard trip was so much more difficult.”
