King Charles 'not competing' with Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand for one main reason

ok.co.uk:

The Duchess of Sussex's launch into selling homeware items such as artisan jams and dog treats has been a hot topic of conversation in recent weeks.

And, following reports that Meghan would like King Charles' seal of approval on her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, a source told the US edition of OK!

Magazine that “Meghan is looking for support wherever she can get it." They added: “Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are at the top of her list, but she is shooting even higher and would love to get King Charles to give his stamp of approval.” This comes after additional speculation around whether there was any source of competition between the Royal Family - who have long sold many homeware and gifting items - and Meghan.

As King Charles' home at Highgrove also sells high end, organic products such as jams and honey, any idea of a clash is something which former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels feels would be "below" the monarch. "I absolutely refuse to buy into suggestions of a petty rivalry between Meghan’s products and the release of new products from the Highgrove estate," Jennie exclusively told OK! "Highgrove has been coming up with new products for years now. "The marketing might have become more sophisticated over time, but there has always been publicity about the organic produce from the farm and gardens. "I really don’t think that Charles or his marketing people would sink so low as to try to deliberately compete with or scupper Meghan and her team.
