Is Meghan Markle poised to become an American cultural institution on par with Martha Stewart? Even the royal family is allegedly worried that she could rise to such status, far surpassing her own in the public eye.
Omid Scobie, the royal expert, recently shared that there are fears within the family about the possibility that Meghan and Harry might overshadow their head-of-state relatives. He suggested that Meghan could potentially become such a cultural fixture that the royals become an afterthought.
For all the attempts to tarnish Meghan’s image, she remains perpetually popular. In his new book, Scobie observes that efforts to smear her character have been in vain.
So, what’s next for Meghan? It’s unlikely that she will revisit her lifestyle blog, The Tia, but instead, she is likely to focus on something that is “accessible” and draws from her love of “details, curating, hosting, life’s simple pleasures, and family.”
There are many possibilities for Meghan if she’s looking to build a cultural empire. Scobie even suggests that Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, could serve as a model.
But when he recommended this to someone in the know, they speculated that the endeavor wouldn’t involve selling products, calling into question what Meghan’s cultural empire might have in store.
Could Meghan become the next Martha Stewart? Stewart has been a household name for decades, with a diverse empire that spans from media to business and beyond.
Ultimately, Meghan’s future is full of possibilities and the exact direction she takes remains to be seen.
