Meghan Markle’s ‘clumsy publicity stunt’ blasted by critics

One of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s pals has reportedly been plugging her brand American Riviera Orchard.

Prince Harry has been told he must make the first move to heal the royal feud

Meghan Markle has come under fire for another “clumsy” misstep, with some royal experts criticising her insensitive approach to publicity.

Nacho Figueras, a polo player and friend of Meghan and Prince Harry’s, recently posted about her latest American Riviera Orchard release just before Trooping the Colour on June 15.

The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden observed: “Meghan has done these publicity stunts where she’s sent out goods and encouraged friends and influencers to post about it.

“But you never know when they’re going to do it or what they’ll say so it’s completely out of your control.

“Yes, you get great publicity when these people say, ‘I got my latest jam,’ but it’s embarrassing if it’s just before Catherine’s appearance at Trooping. It can look very pointed.”

His colleague Rebecca English agreed, speaking on Palace Confidential: “It is clumsy. You can’t expect them to have known that the announcement was coming out because people don’t tell them things because they don’t trust them.”
