Meghan Markle’s not to blame for her latest PR disaster – here’s who should be apologising

We all know is a divisive figure, with everything she does being raked over with a fine-tooth comb by fans and critics alike.

She she’s accused of a PR stunt. She posts about afterher home was destroyed, she’s grandstanding. She – and now she’s oversharing.

Why, then, would her team not go over every detail of her latest relaunch in painstaking detail?

The renaming of sparked an immediate backlash.

First, there was her clunky dig at the Royal Family for allegedly barring her from exploring her true loves of cooking, crafting andgardening when she told her followers: “This is what I do, and I haven’t been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can.”

that she wrote as a senior working royal, the King’s gardening hobby and the many arts and craft activities that accompany most royal engagements. Just last week, the Princess of Wales shared her family’s hand-drawn portraits on social media.

Meanwhile, a their historic Coat of Arms for her logo.

Then brands with near-identical names took to social media, including Arizona-based As Ever Photography, and clothing brand, As Ever NYC.

However, the latter, a family-run fashion company, has actually benefited from the publicity, as its social media following and product sales have soared.

Meghan is surrounded by a team of researchers, employees and PR professionals who would have helped her with the name and design of her brand – so I’m not sure it’s right to blame her. But then again, she’s not exactly one to listen to advice.

Yet as ever, we find ourselves in the latest Sussex media storm – and with the launch of her brand and show justdays away, it won’t be clearing anytime soon.

Lesser-known royals join King and Queen

It was good to see last week.

The full-time working royals don’t often collaborate with the top team; instead, they quietly support them behind the scenes by attending engagements up and down the country.

Last year, the Duke, 80, racked up 216 engagements, behind only the Princess Royal, the monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh on 474, 372 and 293, respectively.

The royal, also known as Prince Richard, is a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth and only inherited the Gloucester title after his older brother, of Gloucester, died in a flying accident in 1972.

King can’t escape Prince Harry

The King’s visit to the Centre for Industry Studies at Imperial College London last Wednesday bore several stark reminders of his youngest son’s past life as a senior working royal.

While the visit was centred on how the University is supporting injured soldiers in , there was no escaping ’s links to both the site and the people involved in the pioneering research.

The Duke of Sussex opened the forerunner to the centre over a decade ago, and a staffer remembered that he was good-humoured and readily accepted his specially embroidered HRH labcoat – now a relic of his formative years when he was allowed to use such a title.

But perhaps the most glaring reminder came when the King reunited with former Paralympian David Henson MBE, below, whom he first met with his son ahead of the launch of the first Invictus Games.

The pair were familiar with one another and Mr Henson even reminded the monarch about his long-standing involvement with Invictus, something the Royal Family have avoided since the Sussexes’ acrimonious split.

Starstruck royals?

I’ve always wondered if royals themselves ever get star-struck. When I met David Beckham on a royal engagement last year, I resembled a teenage fan-girl, despite not having the slightest interest in football (much to the disappointment of my Chelsea-supporting other half). But royals meet celebs all the time.

The Prince of Wales and his two eldest children hung out with Taylor Swift before her Eras concert last summer, and the King regularly meets famous faces, from world leaders to red-carpet royalty.

Cate Blanchett, James Corden, Imelda Staunton and Sharon D Clarke were just a few of the famous faces invited to the Palace by the Queen last week to celebrate the National Theatre. But I suppose that’s just all in a normal day’s work.

Prince Andrew’s lonely birthday

celebrated his 65th birthday with little fanfare last week.

The disgraced royal didn’t even receive a public acknowledgement from his social media-obsessed ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, or his daughter, . The more private does not have a social media account.

Instead, the tight-knit York family is keeping a low profile following their father’s latest scandal involving an alleged Chinese spy – perhaps one misjudgement too many for Andrew, whose reputation is unlikely to ever recover.
