Meghan Markle is once again under harsh criticism for her rebrand, with Princess Diana 's biographer suggesting there is a way she can still 'save face.'
Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and Tatler, has previously criticised the Duchess of Sussex, stating she has "the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world".
The author of The Diana Chronicles has now offered Meghan advice on what could come next.
Meghan's brand, American Riviera Orchard, has yet to fully launch, despite being teased eight months ago, as she now faces challenges in securing a trademark for it, reports the Mirror.
Although Tina believes that if an opportunity arises for Prince Harry and Meghan to return to royal duties, they should take it.
In a post on her substack blog, Fresh Hell, the editor presents a scenario in which King Charles ' private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, has stepped down, a move she believes could "create a new, friendlier path for negotiations with Harry to be given the security protection he seeks and to resume some curtailed version of his royal duties."
She explains: "It could also represent a great face-saver for Meghan who must realise by now that the dull demands of second-division royalty are less onerous than grinding out serial rebranding flops."
Ms. Brown's comments come just weeks after her appearance on The Ankler podcast with Janice Min, where she shared more candid opinions about the couple. The biographer told the host: "The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She's flawless about getting it all wrong. All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately."
However, she did offer some praise for Harry, explaining:"The thing about Harry is he's very good at being Prince Harry. And that's the tragedy of all of this; he is the most talented member of the royal family, without doubt, in terms of being a prince, which is all he does know how to do. He's really sort of flawless at it."
Although, she described him as a "very impetuous man" and stated that many who worked at the Palace always knew he was destined to leave the royal fold.
She added: "He was so fragile, so combustible, he was so unhappy, frankly, in the constraints of the Royal Family."
In her book The Palace Papers, Ms. Brown asserts that Meghan struggled to find her place in the royal family after her first royal tour of Australia, which she "apparently hated every second of."
A former palace employee told the author that Meghan found the engagements outdated and would have preferred to focus on causes she was passionate about.
She writes that Meghan concluded "the monarchy likely needed her more than she needed them" and wanted her Hollywood "leading-lady status to be reflected in lights."

Ms. Brown's claims follow praise from several of Meghan's former staff members, including her ex-bodyguard Steve Davies, who described the Duchess of Sussex as a "good person" with a "big heart."
Speaking last month, he said: "She gets a bad rap for being a not very good person to work with, that she was this evil person in the Royal Family."
Reflecting on Meghan’s character, Mr. Davies highlighted her ability to connect with people from all walks of life, mentioning her involvement in everything from "working with charities to working with dog walkers and cleaners."
He shared a valuable lesson he learned from her - "give respect to get respect." He also admitted, "I felt sorry for her" when she first joined the Royal Family.
