has been warned of a “crazy” snub amid criticisms of her new rebranded lifestyle business.

Royal correspondent Jack Royston told The Sun that rather than launch her lifestyle business As Ever, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, should instead have returned to Suits – a US hit drama that was where her popularity first emerged.

Speaking on show: “I have to say, I still cannot make out for the life of me why she didn’t do a Suits reboot. Acting is what first forged a relationship between Meghan and the American people.

“It’s been so successful and loved. Again, I cannot work out for the life of me why she didn’t just do a Suits relaunch. It’s a crazy decision.”

The comment comes after Meghan’s brand As Ever was banned from selling clothing as a company in China trades under an almost identical name.
