She isn’t performing royal duties anymore, but Meghan Markle may still be using her royal ties to her advantage.
That’s what one celebrity chef believes the actress and wife of Prince Harry is doing with her new holiday collection. Jameson Stocks reportedly cooked for King Charles at one time. According to him, Meghan is “exploiting everyday people” with the launch of her As Ever products.
Meghan’s first-ever holiday collection came out earlier this week.
Meghan Markle is accused of using her royal status as a “marketing tool”
Having a royal title comes with plenty of perks, and for Jameson, the Duchess of Sussex is using that to her benefit. Speaking to the Daily Express, Jameson says that she is “using the royals as a marketing tool.”
Her products feature special nods to her marriage and children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Jameson, however, is unimpressed with the products, saying Meghan “completely missed the mark.” He adds that the brand’s wine list is too rich for many ordinary people. He believes thast she is building a brand for the minority who can actually afford it. Jameson adds that he doesn’t think anyone would appreciate another person coming in and profiting from a family name.
While many believe her royal ties open up numerous doors for Meghan, it may not necessarily make her more popular in celebrity circles. In August, it was reported that the Duchess struggled to secure more superstars for the second season of her show, With Love, Meghan.
Meghan’s been slammed before for reportedly being out of touch. This came after sharing photos from a pumpkin patch with her kids. Her outfit for that outing apparently cost around $1,500.
