Meghan Markle Accused Of 'Merching The Kiddos' On Late Queen's 100th Birthday Celebration

Meghan Markle has been accused of 'merching the kiddos' after unveiling two new candles named after Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet through her As Ever brand in the United States on Monday, hours before Britain marked what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday.

21 April would have marked Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday, with King Charles paying tribute to his 'darling Mama' and senior royals honouring her memory, while Meghan Markle unveiled new As Ever products ahead of US Mother's Day on 10 May, quickly splitting opinion online between supporters who saw a straightforward launch and critics who cast it as a snub to the Royal Family. There has been no official palace response, and the backlash remains limited to social media.
