Meghan Markle set up a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard and sent 50 jars of jam to her friends and influencers
A royal commentator has slammed Meghan Markle for her lifestyle brand and claimed the business venture is "out of touch".
The Duchess of Sussex launched the new business and gave the public an idea of the products it will produce by sending jars of strawberry jam to influencers across the US.
Meghan sent the product to several celebrity friends including Abigail Spencer, the duchess’s Suits co-star, fashion designer Tracy Robbins and socialite Kris Jenner.
Speaking to GBN America, US journalist and royal commentator Lee Cohen blasted the move as "monumentally eye-rolling".
He explained: "This is so monumentally eye-rolling. Even for Meghan, when I first became aware of this I thought that 'Jam Gate' was something the cartoon series South Park came up with to ridicule the duchess again.
"The tone deafness, it's deafening. Especially from a person who had serious ambitions to be an influential world leader, to now be sending her gal pals jam for social media snaps."
