the highly anticipated launch of her new Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, just weeks away, insiders suggest the controversy could derail her latest professional endeavor. A source revealed that the exposé also threatens the success of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she has been working hard to establish.
“The bombshell article, in which a former unnamed staffer has detailed accounts of bullying at the hands of Meghan, threatens to ruin the launch of her highly anticipated lifestyle brand,” the insider said. The fallout from the allegations has reportedly sent shockwaves through Meghan and Prince Harry’s inner circle, with the couple fearing lasting damage to their public image.
“This exposé has caused so much chaos for Meghan and Harry, and they’re right to be worried about a domino effect that could ultimately take a wrecking ball to their entire world,” an insider told Heat Magazine. For Meghan, the controversy could not have come at a worse time.
“It’s hugely worrisome, and the timing could not be worse – this has the potential to totally ruin all the hard work she’s been putting into her brand and her new show,” the source added.
The Duchess of Sussex has consistently denied any allegations of bullying, with previous reports from her team dismissing such claims as unfounded attacks on her character. However, the resurfacing of these accusations, especially from a major publication like Vanity Fair, could have significant consequences for her career and brand-building efforts.
