Piers Morgan slams Meghan Markle for 'exploiting' royal tile as Diana was being honoured

Meghan shares sweet video of her on American Riviera Orchard's Instagram

Piers Morgan has slammed Meghan Markle's "poor timing" after she launched her new brand on Instagram this week, American Riviera Orchard.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "Meghan Markle launching her new royal-title-exploiting business flogging garlic spreads on the same day Princess Diana’s memory was being honoured just about sums her up. It stinks."

The launch coincided with the Diana Legacy Award, which featured a video appearance from Meghan's husband Prince Harry.

Her new business venture marks the Duchess of Sussex's first social media post since 2020.

She appears to have dozens of lifestyle and homeware products in the works, though nothing is on sale just yet.

Meghan's new brand was announced with a series of nine Instagram post making up a gilded crest using her own calligraphy.

Although the account already has well over 300,000 followers, some commentators have criticised the timing of the launch.

Others have even suggested the Duchess could be in breach of her strict deal with the Royal Family.
