Meghan Markle’s alleged ploy to tie her private family moment into a publicity move has just been exposed by PR commentator Star Chaires.

She spoke about this with Woman’s Day, during one of their more candid chats.

In her eyes, while her personal Instagram page was celebrating her anniversary, over on As Ever she was restocking her Signature Candle No.519 which is “inspired by the ease and joy of a day that holds Meghan’s most cherished memories—her wedding day, May 19th”.

Regarding the whiplash connected to both she said, “of course, what good is a post without trying to make some money out of it, monetise it and tie it directly to your signature candle number 519.”

She even referenced the Duchess personally and said, “you guys left real life for privacy, healing and freedom and somehow ended up selling us the smell of the wedding. I seriously have second-hand embarrassment.”

For those unversed with the couple’s desire for financial dependence, it can be traced back to Megxit.

As for what happened afterwards this transition behind-the-scenes clips were shared on the couple's docuseries for Netflix a couple of years later.

From Vancouver Island, Canada to Santa Barbara, California, and Tyler Perry’s house in between, the couple moved around in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But before that, their last leg of royal work included attending the Endeavour Fund Awards and the Commonwealth Day Service held at Westminster Abbey.

A couple of years later news came that a 12-month ‘review period’ concluded, which meant that the Sussexes would officially be confirmed as not returning to royal life. This also led to the stripping of Prince Harry’s honorary military titles, and royal patronages.

From that point on the interviews, (Oprah Winfrey, 60 Minutes, CBS, BBC) the docuseries, (Harry & Meghan) began, right after deals were signed with both Netflix and Spotify.

While the Netflix deal is said to be ongoing, despite it being in a diminished capacity, the Spotify deal fell through and fans even saw the CEO, Daniel Ek, come out and accuse the couple of being “grafters.”

A couple of years later, around 2023, in January the memoir that Prince Harry had been working on came out, titled Spare, and showcased details from the Sandringham summit, the dog bowl incident (where Prince Harry was thrown in by his brother) as well as a promise of ‘more material’ should a second book be in consideration.

In between all this (in 2021) Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor joined the family, but not before Meghan suffered a miscarriage that she later penned for The New York Times, titled ‘The Losses We Share’.

The only documented returns to the UK where Meghan followed her husband was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), then later her funeral as well. However, it did not end there because then the King’s Coronation followed, Lilibet and Archie became Prince and Princess, as is their ‘birthright’ in the words of their father, following that many years later the father and son duo made their first official contact in Windsor Castle, over tea for nearly an hour. Since then the anti-royal interviews have reduced, and its said the Sussexes are working towards rehabilitation, despite Prince William’s rumored dissatisfaction.
