Meghan Markle's new business venture has sparked some noteworthy discussions, particularly regarding its timing alongside the Diana Legacy award. Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken nature, has voiced criticism regarding what he perceives as poor timing on Markle's part. Launching her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, on the same day as the Princess Diana tribute has stirred controversy.
Morgan's comments on Twitter reflected his disapproval, suggesting that Markle's actions were inconsiderate given the significance of the day. This critique has added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding Markle's return to social media entrepreneurship since 2020. Despite the considerable attention garnered by Markle's brand launch, questions linger regarding the appropriateness of profiting from her royal title, especially on a day dedicated to honoring Princess Diana's memory.
Russell Myers, a senior editor at the Mirror, has weighed in on the matter, hinting that Markle's commercial venture might breach the terms of the Sussexes' agreement with the royal family. The Instagram page for Markle's brand, speculated to be a revival of her previous lifestyle blog, The Tig, offers glimpses into her personal life. However, the timing of its launch has sparked a wave of scrutiny and discussion across social media platforms.
