Meghan Markle Faces Backlash for Brand Launch Amid Kate Middleton and King Charles Health Issues

Meghan Markle finds herself at the center of controversy once again as she faces accusations of insensitivity for launching her new brand amid ongoing health crises within the Royal Family.

The Duchess of Sussex has been working on a lifestyle company titled American Riviera Orchard, which includes ventures such as Netflix shows about jam-making, cookery, gardening, and polo playing.

However, her timing has been called into question, particularly amidst Princess Kate’s battle with cancer and King Charles’ own health issues.

Royal expert Lizzy Cundy criticized Meghan’s apparent lack of awareness, stating, “They’ve got these new Netflix shows…it’s not really relatable. I think it’s pretty insensitive when Catherine’s going through what she’s going through and the King is going through his cancer issues too.”

Cundy further emphasized Meghan’s alleged self-absorption, suggesting that she fails to consider the broader context. “They never read the room do they? They’re so into themselves they can’t see the wood for the trees,” she remarked.

Drawing a comparison to Meghan’s previous comments about facing online trolling, Cundy highlighted the irony of Meghan’s stance given the impact her actions may have had on Princess Kate. “We’ve heard Meghan going on about the trolling and all the horrible comments and you just think, look at what you’ve actually done to poor Kate,” she concluded.

As Meghan faces backlash for her brand launch, the timing of her endeavors raises questions about sensitivity and awareness, particularly in light of the ongoing challenges faced by members of the Royal Family.
