GettyBranding expert Courtney Johnson believes Meghan is making a strategic shift in her approach.
"Meghan has recognised that connecting with her audience requires meeting them where they are," Johnson told The Daily Mail.
"Her previous approach, which came across as disconnected from everyday realities, hasn't resonated well."
Johnson suggests this move towards authenticity could help build "significantly stronger connections" with the public.

This move into the lifestyle space has drawn comparisons with Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, which launched in 2008 and has since expanded to include a private clothing label.
