The Duchess of Sussex has launched a brand new lifestyle brand

A royal expert believes Meghan Markle is "exploiting her status" with her new lifestyle brand.

In a post shared to the brand’s Instagram Story, a video showed the 42-year-old duchess picking flowers and cooking in a kitchen with “I Wish You Love” by Nancy Wilson playing in the background

The Duchess has been criticised for launching the brand just hours before William and Harry were due to speak at the Diana Legacy Award event in London.

Speaking to GB News, royal commentator Michael Cole said: "Let's call this what it is, it is home shopping, wearing a royal coronet. When the late Queen was alive, any member of the family seeking to exploit their royal status for monetary gain was highly criticised.

"Sophie the Duchess of Edinburgh had to give up her PR business, Peter Philips the son of Princess Anne gave up advertising milk in China and, laughably, when Prince Michael of Kent opened the Happy Eater on the A3 near Guildford they were laughed out of court.

"But this, of course, is being sold very much as Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex."
