Meghan Markle is facing fresh backlash over accusations that she is using her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to promote her latest business ventures. However, the Duchess of Sussex appears unfazed, with sources claiming she is confident her projects will catapult her to billionaire status.
According to The Telegraph, Meghan believes her business empire will reach “new heights of success,” with her ultimate goal being to build a billion-dollar brand. The former actress has reportedly invested millions to ensure the success of her ventures, banking on their long-term profitability.
Despite mounting criticism, insiders insist Meghan is not relying on her children to boost her business. Instead, they claim she is working closely with a team of executives to shape her brand’s future.
These assurances come in response to fierce public scrutiny following the launch of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The Duchess recently shared a series of promotional images showcasing her new clothing line, but one particular photo sparked controversy—an image of Meghan holding her children.
Fans and critics alike speculated that the timing of the photo was strategic, suggesting Meghan was deliberately using Archie and Lilibet to generate publicity for her brand. The post, captioned “Every day is a love story,” further fueled debates about her marketing tactics.
Royal expert Phil Dampier weighed in on the controversy, telling GB News, “Nothing happens by accident. She would have thought this through and knows that putting a photo of her children out at the same time as her clothing line would get maximum publicity.”

Meghan has faced similar accusations in the past, with critics claiming she selectively shares details about her family only when it benefits her public image. The recent uproar has only intensified skepticism about her business strategy.
However, Meghan appears undeterred by the speculation. While critics dissect her branding decisions, she is already shifting her focus to her next major project—a new podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder.
The first teaser for the podcast was released on March 25, and it is set to debut on April 8, 2025. The series aims to offer insights into Meghan’s journey as an entrepreneur, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of building a brand from the ground up.
Supporters of the Duchess argue that she is simply leveraging her platform to grow her business, much like other celebrity entrepreneurs. They believe the accusations against her are unfair and rooted in longstanding royal bias.
Meanwhile, critics remain skeptical, questioning whether Meghan’s business aspirations are fueled by genuine ambition or a calculated effort to maintain relevance in the media.
As As Ever gains traction, Meghan’s ability to navigate public scrutiny while expanding her empire will be put to the test. Whether she truly reaches billionaire status remains to be seen—but for now, the debate over her marketing methods shows no signs of slowing down.
