Meghan Markle’s latest rebranding and the sudden appearance of a supposed photo of Lilibet have raised more concerns than ever.
The self-proclaimed lifestyle guru has decided to rename her company from American Riviera Orchard to “As Ever”—a name that sounds as pretentious as it is vague. But what’s truly troubling is the way she’s now using what she claims is an image of her daughter, a child the public has barely seen, in promotional material. Doesn’t this seem suspicious?
For years, Harry and Meghan have been vocal about protecting their children’s privacy. Harry himself once made a passionate statement about the importance of consent, emphasizing that as a parent, ensuring his children’s autonomy was paramount. Yet now, suddenly, when there’s money to be made and attention to be grabbed, their rigid stance on privacy appears to have evaporated. It’s a stark contradiction that cannot be ignored.
Many have long questioned the Sussex children’s limited public appearances, and can you really blame them? The timing of these so-called rare glimpses into their family life seems to coincide perfectly with their latest ventures. When was the last time anyone saw a clear, verifiable image of either child? The Christmas card photos are always blurred or taken from odd angles, and birthday images are released under such tight control that they raise more questions than they answer. Now, out of nowhere, there’s this carefully curated image of a child running through a field. It’s all too convenient.
Consider the pattern: whenever Harry and Meghan’s relevance begins to wane, a new photo of their children emerges. It happens like clockwork. Meanwhile, across the pond, Princess Catherine is recovering with dignity and grace, and Prince William is stepping up to support both his wife and the monarchy. In contrast, Harry and Meghan are using a child—real or not—to sell jam and kitchenware. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Just last summer, Meghan claimed, “Our kids are young—they’re three and five—they’re amazing, but all you want to do as parents is protect them.” Protect them from what, exactly? The very exposure she’s now orchestrating for financial gain? It’s a blatant contradiction that should make anyone question their true motives.
Then there’s the rebranding itself. Apparently, American Riviera Orchard wasn’t sophisticated enough, so now it’s “As Ever.” What does that even mean? Meghan has also claimed that Netflix is now her business partner, which is conveniently the same company likely questioning what happened to all the projects they invested in.
Social media users have already picked up on inconsistencies in the latest “Lilibet” photo. One pointed out, “Why hasn’t she seemed to age in two years?” A valid question, indeed. And let’s not forget the timing of all this—King Charles is battling cancer with dignity, Queen Camilla is demonstrating unwavering dedication, and Princess Catherine is focusing on her recovery while William upholds his royal duties. Yet in the midst of all this, Harry and Meghan’s latest publicity stunt conveniently appears.
It’s like an old magic trick—distract with one hand while the real act happens elsewhere. Every time a significant royal event takes place, the Sussexes seemingly manufacture a new controversy. And let’s talk about Meghan’s latest attempt at relatability—her “Jam is my jam” comment. This, from a woman who spent years promoting her Hollywood connections and claiming to be a successful actress, now reinventing herself as some hybrid of Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow. The timing of this rebrand is suspect, especially when King Charles is in a vulnerable position due to his health. Suddenly, we’re being reminded of his supposed grandchildren. It’s emotional manipulation at its finest, and quite frankly, it’s disgraceful.
Since the supposed birth of Archie and Lilibet, how many verifiable public appearances have they made? How many clear, undisputed photographs exist? The images that do surface are either suspiciously blurry, taken from odd angles, or released under tight control. Remember the alleged Jubilee appearance, where no clear photos of the children emerged? Or the birthday parties where no recognizable guests were seen? The pattern is clear for those who are paying attention.
What’s truly disheartening is that there are real royal children being raised with dignity and proper protection. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are seen at appropriate events in appropriate contexts—never used for commercial gain. Their parents have struck a careful balance between public interest and private protection, something Harry and Meghan claimed to champion but now conveniently ignore.
And let’s discuss Meghan’s new business venture—preserved fruits and kitchen items. This from a woman who rejected royal duties, claiming she couldn’t adapt to traditions, yet now she expects the public to believe she’s an expert in homemade goods? The contrast between her and the real working royals is staggering. While Catherine focuses on her health and family, William takes on increasing responsibilities with poise, King Charles fights cancer with dignity, and Queen Camilla stands by his side with unwavering support, what are Harry and Meghan doing? Exploiting children—whether real or not—for financial gain.
And where is Harry in all this? The man who once spoke passionately about protecting his family’s privacy is now silent while his daughter’s image is allegedly being used for marketing. It’s a shocking transformation. The same Harry who proudly served his country and created the Invictus Games from a place of genuine compassion now stands by while his wife monetizes their children’s images. It’s nothing short of heartbreaking.
What’s even more disturbing is the apparent emotional manipulation of King Charles. Using grandchildren—whether they exist or not—as leverage while he battles cancer is a new low, even for them. The timing of this rebrand and the sudden appearance of this photo are no coincidence. Just as the real working royals are handling serious health challenges and proving their dedication to service, the Sussexes launch another self-serving spectacle.
Who is the target market for this business, anyway? Who wants to buy jam from someone who has never demonstrated an interest in food or preservation? Who wants to purchase kitchen products from someone with no history of domestic skills? It’s baffling. The more you analyze the situation, the more questions arise. Why now? Why use a child’s image after years of demanding privacy? Why the sudden shift to “domestic goddess”? Nothing about it adds up.
Meanwhile, the monarchy continues to maintain its dignity. While the real working royals focus on service, duty, and putting the institution before personal gain, Harry and Meghan seem intent on turning their royal ties into a reality TV spectacle.
Public reaction has been telling—people aren’t buying it anymore. Social media users are asking the tough questions, pointing out inconsistencies, and questioning the conveniently timed appearances of the Sussex children.
But the real victims here are the children—if they even exist. If they do, they’re being used as marketing tools. If they don’t, well, that opens up an entirely different discussion. Meanwhile, the real working royals are handling genuine health struggles and responsibilities with grace, while from California, the Sussexes continue their pattern of distractions and publicity stunts.
Many of you have been following this saga for years, and you’ve seen the patterns. You’ve noticed the inconsistencies, and you’ve questioned the convenient timing of these so-called family moments. You are right to be skeptical.
Because here’s the truth—real royalty doesn’t need to sell jam. Real royalty doesn’t exploit children for emotional manipulation. Real royalty prioritizes duty, service, and tradition over personal gain. Look at Queen Camilla stepping up during King Charles’s treatment. Look at William balancing his growing responsibilities while supporting his wife’s recovery. Look at Catherine focusing on her health and children with grace and dignity. That is true royalty.
What we’re seeing from Montecito is something else entirely—a celebrity-driven spectacle wearing a royal mask. And that mask is slipping.
What’s next? Will there be more conveniently timed glimpses of the children when sales drop? Another rebrand when this venture inevitably fails? More emotional manipulation of King Charles?
One thing is certain—this community will continue to call out the inconsistencies and manipulation. Because that’s what we do. We support the real working royals while exposing the publicity stunts for what they truly are.
