Meghan Markle recently found herself the target of subtle shade from Delina Black in a video posted on Instagram.
Meghan recently announced the launch of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which will offer products such as jams, jellies, floral arrangements, napkins, tablecloths, linens, and more. Meanwhile, Delina Black, a friend, had already launched a similar brand and is leveraging her connections in the Hamptons to promote it.
The drama unfolded during a recent dinner hosted by Delina in Southampton, in collaboration with the Dugen Society. Founded in 2023 by Salana Brown Dugen and Catalina Solar Dugen, the Dugen Society is the brainchild of two devoted cousins and visionary designers. They embarked on a journey to redefine the art of entertaining guests through exquisite tablescapes and tableware. Delina shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, stating, "I'm obsessed with the fact that it was never so easy to turn a simple, ordinary dinner table into an elegant hosting event with the Dugen Society." This remark at last night's dinner for SNC in Southampton added a layer of intrigue, suggesting a possible subtle dig at Meghan's new venture, American Riviera Orchard.
Delina’s association with the Dugen Society adds a fascinating dimension to the situation. While Meghan Markle is known for her love of flowers, questions arise about whether Delina might have shared her plans with Meghan before Meghan launched her own lifestyle brand. This has led to speculation about potential tension between the two women.
In other royal family news, Nigerian princess Adaku Kumu has reportedly stepped forward with a key reason to reconcile with her in-laws. According to rumors, Meghan wants her father-in-law, King Charles, who is currently undergoing prostate cancer treatment, to endorse her online business. Since 2020, Meghan has watched her husband, Prince Harry, travel several times to meet his family, but she has chosen not to accompany him. An insider claims that now that Meghan needs something from the royals, she is eager for a meetup.
The Sussexes split from the monarchy in 2020 to live more authentic lives. Since then, they have often spoken about the difficult treatment they received as royals. Meghan was reportedly forced to wear muted colors, and Harry had his allowance cut off. Harry, who turns 40 this year, and Meghan last appeared together in the UK two years ago when they attended the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth. They were booed by the crowds, who perceived them as traitors. A royal insider claims Meghan is still hurt by the treatment she received from the royal family. Royal pundit Angela Levin told GB News that Meghan is genuinely hurt by how she was treated and now wants to sit down and talk through things. Levin described Meghan as callous and brittle, expecting the royals to drop everything, despite Princess Catherine and King Charles undergoing cancer treatment.
Furthermore, Levin claims that Meghan believes she deserves a public apology from the royal family. According to Levin, Meghan's offer of an olive branch is purely self-centered, driven by her need to promote her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Meghan is also reportedly targeting Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to help sell her products, hoping that King Charles might also support her business endeavors.
