Jam Expert Meghan Markle's packaging called Pretentious

preserve Palace. Sources tell us yes, Queen Elizabeth is indeed still dead and unable to comment. Social media reactions have been as tight as the jam itself. When unimpressed on looker exclaimed Megan, it's just jam. It doesn't require an entire presentation. This packaging is as pretentious as others echoed the sentiment, noting that the elaborate box looks like a perfume, with another adding seems like a lot of extra packaging

for a company that wants to be environmentally aware. Despite the fast Meghan's Jam continues to be a hit among her Celebrity Circle, a longtime friend Abigail Spencer, hairstylist Ben Skurvin, and Pilate's studio owner Heather Doriic of all posted glowing praise of the raspberry spread, which they've sampled on crumpets,

toast and presumably social clout. Skurvin's post reads the way any normal human would write, a very frothy Gai lady Lol, delicious afternoon, treat crumpets with butter and at as ever official raspberry spread. It's really addictive. Thanks at. Megan Spencer

went with the sinatra pun start spreading the news. The Duchess gave her behind the scenes look at her Jam's production line via Instagram this week, where factory workers in plastic gloves were seen filling jars, a shift from her earlier batch of fifty, which Megan said she prepared herself at home. Meghan reminds us via Instagram, Jam is my Jam, but there are so many more products that I just love and now it's time to share them with you. So I just can't wait for you to see it.

We just checked again and yes, Queen Elizabeth, it is still dead. It remains to be seen if the Jam over shadows Meghan's mildly anticipated podcast due out next week. To Snarky The Privacy Mind to Dunchess is being criticized for her using her children to help promote her business. Royal expert Tom Bauer tells The Mail the main charge against the Megan is hypocrisy and crude profiteering from her title. Every venture she tries, TV, politics, philanthropy, books, food and

clothes is ridiculed. Obsessed by being a mum constantly speaking about cooking breakfast for my kids, Meghan is scraping the barrel for sympathy and support from American mothers. It's hard to believe that holding her children to promote her clothes once stop her credibility sliding deeper into the mud. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams added, Sussex's though anything which involves Archie and Lilabit is news. They are obsessive about privacy except

when it suits them. She is ruthless. Royal author Phil Dampier said, nothing happens by accident, and she would have thought this through. And Noah's putting a photo of her children out at the same time as her clothing line would get maximum publicity. It begs the question whether Megan is exploiting her two children, who remain in the line of succession. I'd expect the Palace to take a dim view of this. The Wall Street Journal wrote about the

Megan Effect. They explain New York fashion brand La Ligne saw a pair of its jeans sell out within a few days of Mirkael wearing them on the cooking Show. The brand had sent the genes to Mirkle, Howard said, and after the episode dropped, the company sold over five

hundred pairs of the pants in about two weeks. A pair of forty dollars clogs Michael wore during an episode where she feeds her chickens sold out online in most women's sizes, and searches for the shoes on the Croc's website increased by seventy percent compared to last month, a company spokesperson said, demonstrating a dramatic rise and crocs being

worn by chicken feeders. Business coach of Maddie Alexander Grout told Mail Online, if you take on average how many followers Megan has two point six million, and how much engagement she has, I would imagine based on her following that, she will have thousands and thousands of people buying these things, and she will be making a fair amount of that. She is going to make a fair amount based on

what the clothes are worth. If she gets say fifteen percent of a shirt that's one hundred and twenty eight pounds, she'll be making nineteen pounds twenty. She will be selling thousands of those and could be making at least nineteen thousand pounds from one linen shirt. More Palace in just a moment, Royal inside a deep crown tells palace intrigue. Queen Elizabeth would have been privately horrified by this explicit commercialization of royal connections. Her entire rain was built on

the principle that the monarchy must remain above commerce. She understood that royal influence should be wielded for charitable purposes, not personal profit. The late Queen maintained a strict separation between royal duties and money making ventures. Remember how she handled the Royal Yacht Britanna controversy. She refused to use taxpayer money for a new yacht, despite her fondness for it. The idea of directly monetizing her status through affiliate links

would have been inconceivable to her. Prince William is likely viewing this development through the lens of institutional preservation. Unlike his father, who seems content to let Meghan and Harry chart their own course at arm's length, William recognizes the potential long term damage to the monarchy's brand. The King's seeming indifference reflects his prioritization of family harmony over institutional purity.

Having whether decades of public and private turbulence, Charles appears to have adopted a live and let live approach to the Sussex situation. In the Mayle Eleanor Dyer wonders, Meghan Mikel insists she isn't an influencer, so why is she using Instagram to flog clothes? DIY cites pr and branding expert Haley Knight, who explains the Duchess of Sussex has long positioned herself as an advocate, humanitarian and media entrepreneur,

distancing herself from traditional influencer culture. Yet with this latest move, she is embracing a model that is predominantly about monetizing and sales. Meghan's new shop directly contradicts her claim that she's not an influencer because affiliate marketing is one of

the most common revenue streams for influencers. Megan is also showcasing standard influencer behavior by curating selections of products in order to drive sales, so it is not surprising that she has received backlash for there being a disconnect between her comments and her actions. In March, Megan told people, I see myself as an entrepreneur and a female founder, and the brand ends up influential, and that's great, Haley said.

The online shop allows Megan to monetize her brand, but it seems to cheapen her overall brand, reducing her status. She has put so much emphasis on activism and philanthropy that diminishes her to a simple lifestyle influencer. This means that her challenge will be maintaining credibility and engagement. If she continues to combine being a serious thought leader with influencer marketing, her messaging will become unaligned and contradictory, and

she'll struggle to find her audience. Megan's recent moves re launching a new Instagram account, teasing a lifestyle brand, and maintaining a media presence through her podcast all represent influencer culture, so we can definitely argue that she is moving toward establishing herself as such. It seems that this recent move is all about driving sales and making money rather than an impact, making it her most overtly commercial influencer move yet, and they have it to email as their addresses The
