Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have started a new life in the US, but it hasn’t been without challenges. In fact, the accusations against the Royal Family have not only kept them in the public eye but have also drawn continuous criticism from commentators and experts who have condemned their public statements.

While the Sussexes have explored various business ventures – some more successful than others – it is their personal life that has consistently drawn the most public attention. Recently, a surprising claim emerged regarding troubles in their marriage, and now a royal expert has offered a harsh assessment of Meghan Markle.

Renowned royal author Tina Brown claims that Prince Harry has become a “lamb to the slaughter” due to the actions of his wife – and says that all of her ideas are “total crap”.

When Harry and Meghan relocated to the US, it marked the start of a new chapter, distancing them from the royal responsibilities that Harry, at least, had fulfilled for many years.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Leaving the Royal Family was a significant decision for Harry, Meghan, and their son at the time, but they embraced it. Since then, they have welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, who recently celebrated her third birthday.

Despite their repeated statements about wanting a more private life, the couple has made numerous allegations against the Royal Family, which were brought to light during their highly publicized Oprah Winfrey interview, their Netflix series, various other interviews, and most notably, Harry’s memoir, Spare.

Harry and Meghan have also pursued various business ventures. Meghan, in particular, launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchid, earlier this year, although its initial reception didn’t meet her expectations.

In April, Meghan faced criticism for allegedly overshadowing Kate Middleton by announcing a new jam flavor just hours before Kate’s return to royal duties at the Trooping the Colour event.

Sadly, the jam was mocked, not only for tasting average but also for its astronomical price tag.

Meghan Markle branded “sensitive about any criticism” by royal expert

Meghan Markle has reportedly been very upset by the criticism she has faced, according to royal expert Tom Quinn. He explained that Meghan was deeply affected by the negative reception her new brand, America Riviera Orchard, received when it was launched. “Meghan was in tears when the brand launched, and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special,” Quinn told the Mirror in May.

Quinn added that Meghan feels like “anything and everything she does will be unfairly criticized.” He mentioned that, similar to her husband, Meghan believes that people are “unfairly picking on her” and that she “cannot understand why people don’t admire her work.”

Furthermore, the royal expert noted that Meghan is particularly sensitive about the criticism of her luxurious lifestyle in the U.S., which she believes “is something to be admired not criticized.”

As stated in the trademark application submitted in February, America Riviera Orchard plans to sell a variety of products including home decor, kitchen items like cutlery and napkins, and even cookbooks, according to Harpers Bazaar. The application also indicates that the company will offer products such as “jellies, jams, marmalades, fruit preserves, edible oils and fats, and preserves, vegetable-based spreads, legume-based spreads, nut-based spreads, garlic-based spreads, sesame-based spreads, dairy-based spreads, nut butters, fruit butters.”

Another trademark application from March 9 revealed American Riviera will also branch out into selling cosmetic products, wallpaper, yoga equipment, and even gardening gear.

Royal author says Meghan Markle “has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world.”

Although Meghan Markle has a very ambitious plan, not everyone is convinced of her potential success.

Royal expert Tina Brown, the best-selling author of royal biographies The Diana Chronicles and The Palace Papers, shared a harsh assessment of both Meghan and Prince Harry’s post-royal careers during her appearance on The Ankler podcast.

“In England, they’re going to constantly make a career out of trashing Harry. But actually, the thing about Harry is he’s very good at being Prince Harry,” Brown said.

She continued, “That’s the tragedy of all of this, is that he is the most talented member of the Royal Family, without doubt, in terms of being a prince, which is all he does know how to do… he’s really sort of flawless at it.”

Brown, a friend of Princess Diana who had lunch with her just weeks before Diana’s tragic death, did not hold back when speaking about Meghan. In fact, she essentially claimed that the Duchess has never had a truly good idea.

“I think [Prince Harry] is pretty much in the thrall of Meghan. The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong… She really is.”
