In a move that’s raised eyebrows across the pond, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has launched her latest venture – and the timing has got tongues wagging.
Let’s dive into this royal kerfuffle, shall we?
Picture this: It’s a beautiful Saturday in June, and all eyes are on Buckingham Palace.
Why?
Well, it’s King Charles‘s birthday bash, complete with all the pomp and circumstance you’d expect.
But there’s an even bigger draw – the return of Princess Kate to the public eye after a six-month hiatus due to her cancer treatment.
It’s a day of celebration and relief for royal watchers everywhere.
But wait, what’s this?
Just hours before the festivities kick off, there’s a buzz on social media.
Nacho Figueras, a polo-playing pal of Prince Harry and Meghan, has posted some tantalizing pics.
What’s he showing off?
None other than the latest goodies from Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Now, you might be thinking, “What’s the big deal about some jam and dog biscuits?”
Well, it’s all about the timing, folks.
Royal commentator Lizzie Cundy didn’t mince words when she called the move “desperate” and “something else.”
She told GBN America, “The whole world was watching to see Princess Kate and how incredibly stunning, fragrant and beautiful she looked.
We hadn’t seen her for seven months.
We’ve been so worried about her.”
Cundy didn’t stop there.
She added, “The sad thing was that Meghan, four hours before Trooping the Colour, is launching dog biscuits which is really something else.”
Ouch!
That’s got to sting a bit, don’t you think?
But let’s rewind a bit.
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s brand has made waves with its timing.
Back in March, she soft-launched American Riviera Orchard with a new Instagram page – just hours before Prince William was set to give a speech in London.
Coincidence?
Some royal watchers aren’t so sure.
So, what’s next for American Riviera Orchard?
Well, if the rumors are to be believed, we might be seeing some rather unusual items hitting the shelves.
Dog shampoo?
Check.
Chicken feed?
You bet.
Yoga bolsters?
Why not!
It seems Meghan’s brand is aiming to cover all bases.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I can’t help wondering what’s going through Meghan’s mind with all this.
Is she really trying to steal the spotlight from her royal in-laws?
Or is this just a case of unfortunate timing?
One thing’s for sure – the royal watchers are keeping a close eye on every move.
As Cundy put it, “They were posting four hours before posting King Charles‘s official birthday which seems pretty desperate.”
Harsh words, indeed.
But hey, let’s not forget – at the end of the day, we’re talking about jam and dog biscuits.
Delicious? Probably.
World-changing? Maybe not.
But in the world of royal watching, even the smallest actions can cause the biggest stirs.
So, what do you think?
Is Meghan making a clever business move, or is she barking up the wrong tree?
Only time will tell how this royal drama unfolds.
In the meantime, I’ll be over here, wondering if those dog biscuits are fit for a king – or at least a royal corgi.
