00:00Meghan always tries to upstage the royals.

00:03Meghan Markle was slammed after the Duchess of Sussex's latest PR move

00:07overshadowed Prince William's Earthshot Prize trip to Brazil.

00:11Meghan Markle shocked fans when it was announced that she would be returning to acting

00:14and making a cameo in the upcoming film, Close Personal Friends.

00:19Additionally, the Duchess of Sussex shared on Instagram that as ever is available at a physical store.

00:25All before Prince William gave a speech at the Earthshot Prize Awards in Brazil.

00:28I've actually always defended her before, PR expert Renee Smith told Daily Express.

00:35I've never believed she's sitting at home with the Royal Diary open, plotting counter-announcements.

00:40But it's happening so often now that it's hard to keep calling it a coincidence.

00:44Whether intentional or not, someone on her team seems to be tracking royal moments

00:48and slotting her headlines in alongside them, Renee Smith continued.

00:53It's starting to look calculated. And that's dangerous.

00:56Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who constantly criticize the monarchy,

01:01have a history of making formal announcements during important royal events.

01:05If it is intentional, it's a bad play, Renee Smith said.

01:09When your public narrative starts to look like it's competing with someone else's,

01:13you lose control of your own brand.

01:15Even if it's not deliberate, perception becomes reality.

01:18And right now, that perception is that Meghan's always trying to upstage the royals,

01:23Renee Smith continued.

01:24If I were advising her team, I'd say, please pull back.
