Duchess of Sussex Criticised Over Last-Minute Shift Ahead of Netflix Series Launch
Meghan Markle’s latest rebrand of her lifestyle venture has sparked fresh criticism, with royal insiders questioning her decision-making ahead of her upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, announced the rebranding of her business from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever through an Instagram video. The post featured a heartwarming moment of Meghan holding hands with her daughter, Lilibet, in the California sunshine.
However, the sudden rebrand—just weeks before the Netflix series launch—has raised eyebrows. A royal insider commented, “This is yet another example of Meghan acting on impulse rather than careful planning.” The insider also suggested that Meghan had received significant guidance during her time with the royal family, including from the late Queen, but often chose to disregard it.
Critics believe the abrupt change could point to deeper issues with Meghan’s business strategy. The timing of the rebrand is especially notable, as her Netflix project, initially delayed due to the LA wildfires, is set to bring her back into the public eye.
Whether this bold new direction will resonate with audiences remains uncertain as Meghan continues to forge her own path beyond royal life.
