Meghan Markle shows true colours as she makes ‘understandable mistake’ with new brand

In a grating Instagram video, Meghan Markle revealed her new lifestyle brand.

The Duchess of Sussex was initially greeted with a backlash after the wildly successful release of As Ever, which ditched the American Riviera Orchard name. The mayor of a town on Mallorca claimed Meghan had “copied” its coat of arms by revealing the logo for her name, which depicts a palm tree flanked by two hummingbirds.

Then it became clear that the company had a name that was similar to a clothing company in New York. Meghan claimed she hadn’t been able to share the cooking, gardening, and crafting tips she loves for a while, and the Instagram video where she announced the change was also said to have a sly dig at the Royal Family.

However, Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, claimed Meghan’s criticism was unfair and that her video only made light of her true feelings.

She said: “Lots of new ventures hit teething problems and Meghan’s was no exception. We all make mistakes, but she obviously should have been instructed to do so. She has now attempted to put the best spin on these initial setbacks.

She claimed that she hadn’t been able to share her cooking and gardening tips for a while, which I don’t believe was a dig at the Royals. It is merely a fact statement. She expressed no resentment or bitterness toward it. She sounded relieved that she is now able to resume what she has already proven to be very adept at: selling lifestyle suggestions and ideas.

Meghan ran her own successful lifestyle blog, The Tig, where she shared recipes and holiday photos before getting married to Prince Harry. Jennie thinks that Jennie’s success should help her prepare for the future.

She continued, “I think she’s eager to make it a success because she has already demonstrated her skill. She is much more well-known than when she first met Harry, and she is likely to draw more customers for her website, giving her and her family a good living.

“And that, they said, was one of the reasons they wanted to leave the royal family: to earn their own way in life, and of course to be free. And that really is fair enough. Good for her, living comfortably and contributing to the cost of their lavish lifestyle in California.

If Harry and Meghan had been permitted to remain in the royal family, could Meghan have attempted to establish this brand? If she had stayed in the royal family, Jennie said, “It’s difficult to say whether she would have been given the opportunity to do this sort of thing.” You could compare it with Charles’s Highgrove shop.

The key difference is that all profits from Highgrove, including the garden tours and the store, benefit his charitable foundation. It might have been possible if Meghan had been able to donate everything to charity on her website. But I believe it’s unlikely that she would have desired that.
