Meghan Markle: She cried because of the criticism she receives

Meghan Markle has hit back at criticism of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, according to a royal expert.

The Duchess of Sussex announced her new business venture in March, offering some details about her new company aimed at helping people live well. In a mysterious, artfully shot video of her and Prince Harry’s Montecito, California, mansion, the Duchess of Sussex is seen cooking in the kitchen as well as strolling around the luxurious grounds of her home.

It was soon announced that American Riviera Orchard would be selling kitchen and home goods. Meghan Markle plans to launch her own line of oils, nut butters, jams and preserves, as well as fragrances and home furnishings.

The buzz around Meghan Markle’s new brand has died down, and no further details have been provided about when American Riviera Orchard will launch. It seems that ahead of the new brand launch, Meghan Markle is putting in a lot of PR work to improve her image.

However, royal expert and author Tom Quinn believes Meghan Markle will be devastated after the lukewarm reception from the public at the American Riviera Orchard Hotel, especially after the criticism she received for her new jam.

“Meghan cried when she launched the brand, and her new jam was widely derided as expensive and unremarkable.” Tom Quinn explained. He continued: “It’s gotten to the point where he thinks anything he does will be unfairly criticized. She, like her husband, feels like people treat her unfairly. She can’t understand why people don’t like her work.”

The writer also claimed that Meghan was not prepared for the potential criticism she may face when American Riviera Orchard is released later this year. “She is particularly sensitive to any criticism of her lavish lifestyle in the United States. From her point of view, this is something to be admired, not criticized.”added to Quinn.

The Duchess of Sussex is said to be planning a PR “marathon” ahead of the American Riviera Orchard opening and will try to win new fans through a series of appearances on shows and podcasts, as well as interviews with “carefully selected” journalists.

The 42-year-old Duchess is said to be keen to improve her image, both in the US and Britain, and wants to “increase online sales” when she launches her brand.
