Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded as “ruthless” as they “ignore royal protocol”, by a royal commentator.

According to Richard Fitzwilliams, who recently spoke exclusively to The Mirror, “the Sussexes were always ruthless in disregarding events in the diaries of other members of the royal family, ignoring protocol which was they didn’t clash”.

He added: “An example was the release of a trailer for their Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan which coincided with the Cambridge’s trip to the United States for the Earthshot Prize in 2022.” With his comments coming after Meghan’s new brand, American Riviera Orchard, seemingly unveiled two new products on the day of Trooping the Colour over the weekend.

Saturday marked Trooping the Colour, which is an important annual event where the Royal Family came together to mark The King’s official birthday with the Birthday Parade. And on the morning of Trooping the Colour, which also marked Princess Kate’s first public appearance since starting cancer treatment, some new American Riviera Orchard products emerged online.

Harry’s pal since 2007, Nacho Figueras, who is a polo player, took to social media mere hours before Trooping the Colour took place on Saturday to share that he had been sent some American Riveria Orchard produce. The polo player displayed a jar of raspberry jam and a jar of dog biscuits.

Mr Fitzwilliams commented on this move further when he added: “Apparently two more products, raspberry jam and dog biscuits, have just been launched. To do this on the same day as Trooping the Colour shows a very naive approach to marketing as they know journalists keep an eye on what they do.”

He added: “Nacho Figueras, Harry’s polo-playing friend, posted that he’d received jam and dog biscuits and posted photos. Whereas cynics might say the raspberry sums up the Sussexes destructive attitude to the royal family rather well, on the jar it said two of two. If she wants her brand to succeed, Meghan better be more adventurous than this!”
