Maybe? You yourself said she nails the interview and then can’t follow it up. It’s incredibly obvious she sold herself to Harry and is now not following it up. Or do you think she’s doing a good job? I’m not being sarcastic. I’m genuinely curious because I don’t understand your “maybe” reply. IMO she’s not living up to what Harry initially promised the press but maybe that’s just me and others think she is doing fine?

You said it came from Harry and not her. I suspect it came from both. 

No, I don’t think she’s doing just fine. I doubt the goal here was countless articles about her protocol fails and million-dollar wardrobe, but that’s what they got. I suspect they intended it to be all “Meghan dazzles in high fashion looks as she flawlessly adjusts to royal life,” or something like that. Harry said in the engagement interview that she was going to be wonderful at the job and I think he meant it.

My caveat had more to do with Harry’s involvement in this. I do think he sold herself to Harry as the best thing since chicken nuggets and those expectations are not being met. However, I think the driving force is Meghan. She’s the one who thinks that the black-clothes-into-pink-clothes, no-fruitcake, plain-wedding-dress, tons-of-celebs strategy is absolutely brilliant. She really is a complete  idiot about this. That interview the anon pulled up had a paragraph where she patted herself in the back for having American Rachel wear a “Canadian tuxedo,” because it made her look like “one of us.” That’s the kind of think she thinks is brilliant.
