Meghan Markle branded ‘tacky’ for selling access to herself on Australia trip

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are humanised for their need to expand brand through Australia tour.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex,who have landed the Land Down Under this Monday, are keen on supporting their business ventures.

Speaking about the viability of their tour, Royal expert Jennie Bond writes for Mirror: “They are celebrities, and Harry is a prince. They are newsworthy – and the constant stories we write about them ensure they remain so.”

“This kind of visit is precisely what Harry and Meghan wanted to do at the start of the whole sorry story that led them stepping down as working royals. They wanted to combine earning a living with some charitable work. So, here they are doing exactly that. What’s the problem?

She added: “Personally, I do think it’s a bit tacky for Meghan to be selling access to herself – you can pay to have a photo taken with her when she is at the women’s weekend retreat. But then business is sometimes tacky and she is seeking commercial opportunities for her As Ever brand.”

“So I don’t understand what the controversy, if there really is one, is all about,” notes Jennie.
