According to a royal expert, Meghan sees herself as Diana’s heir by exploiting her late mother-in-law’s legacy for her business.
In early March, the Duchess of Sussex launched her lifestyle brand America Riviera Orchard, which includes a range of products including homeware, table linen, crockery, and jams. She later revealed that she was planning to create her own cosmetics line and was planning to expand internationally with a range of hair care, home fragrances, and pet care products.
Meghan has yet to announce an official release date for American Riviera Orchard. However, fans have gone crazy over her teaser video, which shows never-before-seen images of the Sussexes’ lavish mansion in Montecito, California. The former US actress is also expected to make more than six figures in its first week of sales.
However, a royal expert believes Meghan is using her late mother-in-law’s legacy to build her new project because it was announced on such an important day. “Meghan’s Riviera Orchard brand was launched on the same day as the Diana Legacy Awards. Meghan has always seen herself as Diana’s heir. She feels hurt by the media, just like Diana. But in the UK, there will still be many critics who will accuse her of just trying to cash in on Diana’s legacy,” royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror .
According to Quinn, Kensington Palace is not happy about Meghan’s new venture internally. However, the 42-year-old duchess “cannot understand” why making money from her “relationships” is frowned upon.
To this day, the conflict between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family has not been resolved. Even when Meghan launched her new brand, her husband avoided his brother. Although they both gave speeches at the event, Harry only appeared on the program screen after William had left the hall.
