Helpless Prince Harry: Rebel Duke Has 'No Idea How to Help Meghan Markle' Win Over the Public With Lukewarm Elite Strawberry Jam
Prince Harry is clueless when it comes to being a businessman and helping Meghan Markle's faltering brand.
This led royal author Tom Quinn to share: "Harry has never had any real idea about becoming an entrepreneur or a businessman in his own right. He is trained from birth to do one thing only — to be a royal, and he has thrown that away."
"His one hundred percent support for his wife and her business ventures has never wavered, but it hasn't been enough to make a success of her company," he further explained. "Meghan is proof that self-belief won't always guarantee success. It won't always make you a great entrepreneur and businesswoman."
This insight comes amid a copyright scandal and several "harsh" criticisms of the Duchess of Sussex's American Riviera Orchard "potential" enterprise. Recently, Eric Trump was the latest celebrity or prominent figure to take aim at the former Suits star's brand.
"You can happily have those two [Meghan and Harry], we might not want them anymore, it feels like they’re on an island of their own," Trump told GBN. "You can always have bad actors in everything. You can have spoiled apples in every orchard."
Shortly after Meghan launched American Riviera Orchard's strawberry jam in March, sales of King Charles III's own preserves of the same flavor went through the regal roof. But although both royals enjoy their own large fanbases, one of the two is not into directly competing with the other.
"I don’t think he would dream to do that, to take it away from her," royal expert Angela Levin shared when referring to His Majesty's product line outselling his daughter-in-law's. "It’s not in his nature."
"Apparently she was keen to have a discussion with the King and it’s alleged that Prince Harry held her back," she added. "I don’t believe that bit. His Majesty doesn’t have a mobile and you can’t just get through to him. You have to go through aides and when he’s in a particularly bad mood, you can’t even do that."
His Majesty has long sold a line of organic products from his Duchy Originals line, starting when he was Prince of Wales in the 1990s. In 2010, his company went into partnership with Waitrose, a line of British supermarkets that sell the products. The King's Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve retails for roughly $8.60 and was reportedly sold out within minutes of Meghan's first announcement of her strawberry jam.
The ex-actress' first product from her brand, American Rivera Orchard, was likely promoted with so few jars of the jelly to "create hype," one royal insider revealed.
