Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing the heat for their “insensitive” Netflix ventures. The Sussexes have been working on two series for the streaming giant. One features Meghan, aiming to celebrate cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. The other series documents the US Open Polo Championship.
The Duchess has also launched the first product of her lifestyle gig- a strawberry jam from American Riviera Orchard. She sent it to her fifty influencer friends for a taste test. But the business progression doesn’t sit well with the royal watchers. Know why!
Meghan Markle: The Sussexes “Never Read the Room”
Meghan Markle and Harry’s new developments come amidst a crisis in the royal family. We all know how cancer has engulfed both Kate Middleton and King Charles. Royal watcher and Meghan’s former pal Lizzie Cundy slammed the Sussexes for the timing of the projects.
Moreover, she even accused Markle of trying to emulate Gwyneth Paltrow and living in a bubble. Lizzie called the upcoming Netflix projects and Meghan’s lifestyle gig “unrelatable.”
She finds the timing “pretty insensitive” in the wake of Kate and Charles’ cancer treatment. Cindy bashed the US-based royals for their lack of awareness, saying, “They never read the room, do they?” The royal expert believes that Harry and Meghan are so into themselves they can’t see the wood for the trees. Furthermore, Lizzie suggested that Meghan Markle reflects on her past moves, especially in her treatment of Princess Kate.
She urged Meghan Markle to look at what she had actually done to Middleton, but she didn’t stop just here! The royal-know-it-all also slammed Meghan’s lifestyle brand, calling it “fake and phoney.” She claims that folks back in the UK are “sick to death.” Lizzie thinks Meghan Markle should apologise to Kate. “I think she should come out and actually apologise for what she’s done to poor Kate and maybe not be so insensitive.”
Meghan’s Side of the Story
On the flip side, accusations of racism against the Duchess have been there since her marriage to Harry. She has faced intense scrutiny and micro-analysis. The Suits actress even broke silence on feeling helpless during her mental crisis while in the UK. Let’s not forget the one where Meghan Markle faced concern about her son Archie’s skin colour.
Meanwhile, predictions suggest that Meghan’s brand, reflecting her passions and interests, could see huge success. It includes various products, from spreads and preserves to yoga gear and pet goods.
