Meghan Markle thinks she should be 'admired' for aspect of her life people criticize

Meghan Markle is said to be upset by the criticism she receives for the luxurious nature of her lifestyle . The wife of a Prince, who lives in a $14m mansion in an upmarket part of California , is "sensitive" about the subject matter, according to a royal expert.

Royal expert Tom Quinn claimed: "(Meghan) is especially sensitive about any criticism of her luxurious lifestyle in the US from her point of view this is something to be admired not criticized."

The Duchess believes her efforts are constantly met with unfair scrutiny , the author claims. He said: "She has reached the point now where she thinks that anything and everything she does will be unfairly criticized. Like her husband, she feels that people are unfairly picking on her - she cannot understand why people don't admire her work."

Prince Harry and Markle have been battling it out since their royal departure , with their efforts in the US mixed with triumphs and setbacks.

Their Spotify collaboration has been scrapped , fuelling concerns about the steadiness of their Netflix ventures.

Royal expert Tom Quinn shared his concerns regarding the Duke and Duchess: "There is a growing rift between Harry and Meghan caused by Meghan's increasing concern that her life is not going in the direction she had planned. She loves media attention and hates the fact that surveys suggest she and Harry are no longer of much interest to the American public."

The Sussexes' Netflix agreement was inked for five years after their Royal exit, yet chatter about its renewal is absent, even as Meghan teases a new show's launch.

Meghan also initiated her lifestyle banner American Rivieria Orchard. Despite the buzz, product transactions are still on hold.

Quinn added: "With news that the couple's Netflix contract may be under threat, along with the mockery that greeted the launch of her online brand, Meghan feels very much under siege."

Meghan Markle's new venture, American Riviera Orchard, was shrouded in mystery when it launched in March, with scant details about the products on offer. It was later revealed that Meghan's range would include kitchen and homeware appliances, her own concoction of oils, nut butters, jams, preserves, alongside home fragrances and furnishings.

The launch of Meghan's brand initially sparked excitement among her followers. Yet, the hype has since waned, and commentator Quinn suggests that Meghan would have been gutted by the dip in enthusiasm.

"The one fly in the ointment is Meghan's new internet brand, America Riviera Orchard. Meghan was in tears when the brand launched and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special," he shared with us before.
