In an exclusive interview with royal expert Jennie Bond, King Charles has put an end to swirling rumours of a rivalry with Meghan Markle. Speculations arose regarding potential competition between the monarch and his estranged daughter-in-law over their respective products – Highgrove home goods and Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
However, Bond was quick to dismiss any notions of a petty feud, highlighting the difference in established businesses and new ventures. “Highgrove has been producing quality products for years, with a focus on organic produce from the farm and gardens,” she explained to OK! magazine. “I highly doubt Charles or his team would stoop to intentionally competing with Meghan – it simply doesn’t make sense.”
Reports had surfaced regarding Meghan’s product launch, with plans to involve Prince Harry’s father and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice in promotions. With Bond’s insight, it’s clear that any perceived rivalry between the two parties is nothing more than baseless gossip. It seems King Charles is focused on his business endeavors, leaving the drama behind.
