Meghan Markle slammed for latest ‘disgusting’ move on Queen Elizabeth’s 100th birthday
The Duchess of Sussex made a new announcement this week.
Meghan Markle was criticised for releasing two new candles linked to her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, just hours before what would have been Queen Elizabeth’s 100th birthday. The late Queen died peacefully at her Balmoral home aged 96 on September 8, 2022, after serving as sovereign for 70 years.
She would have turned 100 today, April 21, with the King releasing an emotional message for his “darling Mama” to mark the centenary of her birth. The royals will carry out various engagements today to celebrate Elizabeth’s centenary.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex announced two new candles this week, ahead of Mother’s Day in the US, which is celebrated on May 10.
The two new candles, which will be released on April 22, are a sweet tribute to her two children, Archie and Lilibet.
A message on the As Ever Instagram page read: “Introducing two new candles beautifully crafted by our founder and named in honour of her children’s birthdates.
“No. 604 named for Princess Lilibet’s birthdate, is floral and radiant with notes of amber, water lily, and santal.
“No.506, named for Prince Archie’s birthdate, is warm and grounding with notes of ginger, neroli, and cashmere.”
Fans were not impressed with Meghan’s move on such a crucial week for the Royal Family and took to social media to express their views.
One user wrote on Reddit: “As ever, merching the kiddos on the late Queen’s 100th birthday. Utterly disgusting.”
Another one agreed: “It is 100% about trolling the [Royal Family] on [the late Queen’s] 100th birthday. She doesn’t care if she sells a single candle.”
A third one blasted: “Remove the titles and let’s see how she promotes her products after the titles are removed.”
A fourth one added: “This is the absolute breaking point. Enough is enough. Seeing Lilibet on her As Ever BS on the Queen’s birthday?!?!?!”
Others loved Meghan’s latest offering, with one fan writing on : “Nice to see Meghan announcing new products releasing on April 22 ahead of Mother’s day.”
Another one commented: “I’m so excited for this!! Can’t wait to get my candles, matchbox, & chocolate.”
It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex completed their four-day visit to Australia last week.
