Meghan Markle Faces Criticism Over Rosé Launch on Diana's Birthday

Meghan Markle has announced the launch of her lifestyle brand's first wine, a Napa Valley rosé, set to hit shelves on July 1, a date that coincides with what would have been Princess Diana's 64th birthday. This timing has sparked backlash from royal fans and commentators, accusing Meghan of being tone-deaf and exploiting Diana's memory for promotion. The wine follows a successful restock of other As Ever products that quickly sold out, but the announcement reignited criticism about Meghan's respect for significant royal dates. Additionally, Meghan faced ridicule from comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who mocked aspects of her Netflix show and personal life during a comedy tour. Meghan also recently faced criticism over her response to a podcast question about her past, which some perceived as bitter and lacking humility. Despite mixed reactions, some fans expressed excitement about the wine release, appreciating its Napa origin and summer appeal.
