Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has faced backlash for her Aro brand, which focuses on sustainable and ethically-sourced products.
Brooklyn Beckham, son of soccer legend David Beckham and fashion icon Victoria Beckham, launched a product line that directly competed with Megan’s Aro brand.
The launch at a whole food store was described as a humiliation for Megan and her team. The backlash has been swift and unforgiving on social media, with many users mocking Megan’s venture into the world of business and branding.
Some argue that Megan’s venture into the world of entrepreneurship is bold and admirable, while others support her efforts and believe that she should not be judged too harshly for the setbacks she has faced.
Megan and her team at Aro have a lot of work to do to regain momentum and differentiate their brand.
