Meghan, 43, yesterday posted from her As Ever brand a rare snap with Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, also tagging herself.

Meghan launched an online venture yesterday shortly after posting a rare photo of herself with her two children, guaranteeing huge amounts of traffic.

One expert called it “tacky and desperate”

It is the latest business move for California-based Meghan, who previously agreed with husband Prince Harry not to use their royal titles to make money.

Royal author and journalist Phil Dampier said: “Nothing happens by accident and she would have thought this through and knows putting a photo of her children out at the same time as her clothing line would get maximum publicity.

‘Lack of imagination’

“It begs the question whether Meghan is exploiting her two children who remain in the line of succession. I’d expect the Palace to take a dim view of this.”

The Duchess posted the snap of herself with Archie, five, and three-year-old Lilibet on the Instagram account of her As Ever brand, tagging herself in.

She added a dove emoji and wrote: “Every day is a love story.”

Meghan has 2.6million on her personal account, while As Ever has around 734,000.

An hour after posting the loving family pic, she revealed she now has a “ShopMy” page featuring “a hand-picked and curated collection of the things I love — I hope you enjoy them”.

They include Heidi Merrick’s “Windsor” gown for an eye-watering £1,068, a £600 pair of Saint Laurent sandals, a £400 necklace and a £148 linen shirt.

All the clothes and accessories listed have links for followers to click and buy, and Meghan may get money when they do.

A disclaimer says: “Please note, some products may contain commissionable links!”

The Duchess, who recently revealed on her Netflix show she wanted to be known as Meghan Sussex, teased there will be “more to come”.

Meg also promoted this £445 Happiness Retreat necklace
Dickie Arbiter, former press secretary to the late Queen, said cashing in on her royal links would have broken the terms of the Megxit deal had she been promoting her new collection in the UK.

He said: “It’s tacky — everything they do is tacky”, adding it was “a mixture of a lack of imagination and desperation”.

He said: “They left the UK because they wanted privacy.”

It comes weeks after Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard brand had to be renamed As Ever following trademark setbacks.

Last year, she and Harry launched Sussex.com to replace their Archewell website despite previously being banned by the Queen from using “SussexRoyal” during Megxit.

Meghan mocked over banana split claim

MEGHAN Markle claimed her pal had “reinvented” the banana split – despite the dish being more than 120 years old.

The Duchess of Sussex posted a new Instagram story filming pal Kelly Zajfen adding granola, strawberries, blueberries and jam to the popular dessert choice.

Alongside the post, she added: “When one of the besties reinvents a banana split for breakfast”.

After tasting the food in her video, Meghan gives an approving “Mm”, while pal Kelly adds: “It tastes so good.”

Meghan, 43, also added a close-up photo of the bananas and tagged her new As Ever brand’s social media page.

But critics pointed out that the popular banana dessert, most commonly served with vanilla ice cream, was invented in 1904 by David “Doc” Strickler, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

It has since been a staple in homes and restaurants around the world with hundreds of different topping combinations.

In 2019, Meghan wrote inspirational comments on bananas distributed to prostitutes during an impromptu stop with Prince Harry at the One25 charity in Bristol.
