Is Meghan Markle Bigger Than Her Brand? Martha Stewart Claims, a Box-Office Flop and the Sussex Reputation Problem

Did Meghan Markle borrow another lifestyle idea from Martha Stewart? Critics are comparing As Ever’s blackberry loaf and jam-infused frosting with a recent Martha Stewart recipe—but is this genuine copying or simply another round of online Meghan criticism?

We examine why the disappointing performance of Cookie Queens has revived questions about the Sussexes’ commercial appeal. Can Harry and Meghan still turn enormous media attention into paying customers? Does Meghan have a visibility problem—or a perception problem that overwhelms every product, television program and film carrying her name?

Plus: Why has Prince Harry stopped directing money from Princess Diana’s memorial fund to Sentebale? Where is his share going now? Does Meghan believe both Harry and Prince William must apologize before the brothers reconcile? And why does former England rugby star Joe Marler remain firmly “Team Harry” despite the social-media backlash surrounding the Duke of Sussex?
