On the company website, the earrings are referred to as Megan Markle's favorite Felicity earrings, known for turning heads. Prince Harry, in his memoir, disclosed that Megan would keep freebies at Kensington Palace and distribute them among the staff, although the royal family typically sends back unsolicited gifts. Contrary to palace protocol, only Megan received and distributed the gifts among staff, raising eyebrows as accepting freebies goes against royal standards. Kimai's founders, Sydney Nahan and Jessica Weiss, appeared on Dragon's Den seeking a £250,000 investment for a 3% equity stake in their business, boasting about Megan wearing their designs. They claimed Megan agreed to the deal on the condition of receiving freebies.
The founders aimed to associate their company with Meghan Markle's royal status. The controversy over the earrings sparked criticism, with some calling them hideous and questioning the use of Prince Charles's money on such jewelry. Meghan's acceptance of freebies during her time as a working royal contradicted palace protocol, revealing a pattern of behavior that goes beyond the norm. The narrative suggests a level of entitlement and narcissism, with Megan's actions hinting at a belief that she deserves special treatment. The incident with the bike for their son in Montecito and her attempt to walk out with a gift meant for Prince Charles at his 70th birthday party are cited as examples of her behavior.
Meghan's royalty days seem to be long gone, and any controversies around her are attributed to her actions rather than the complexity of royal rules or discrimination. The narrative concludes by emphasizing that any "grifting" unearthed is a result of Meghan Markle's choices and not a consequence of unfair treatment within the royal family.
