Meghan Markle was said to be "in tears" amid the "unfair criticism" she faced over her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The Duchess of Sussex made waves in March when she announced her latest venture, giving only a tantalising glimpse into what the brand would offer.
It wasn't long before details trickled out, revealing that the new range would include not just kitchenware and home goods but also her own collection of oils, nut butters, jams, preserves, and even chic home scents and décor. When Megan's 's long-time BFF Abigail Spencer showed her enthusiastic support for the Duchess' new jam on her Instagram page, it was met with a very mixed bag of comments from followers. After sharing a post featuring Abigail and her pet pooch, the fellow actress gushed about the new jam, saying: "A delicious taste of what's to come indeed... love you so M."
According to royal expert Tom, Meghan is not oblivious to some of the less-than-complimentary talk about her new venture. "She has reached the point now where she thinks that anything and everything she does will be unfairly criticised. Like her husband, she feels that people are unfairly picking on her - she cannot understand why people don't admire her work," he claimed.
