The latest woman to attack Meghan Sussex for working is Lady Carole Bamford, a close friend of King Charles. In a new Daily Mail piece by Richard Eden, Bamford slammed Meghan Sussex’s lifestyle brand As ever, calling it “crazy” and “inauthentic.” The timing, tone, and platform of the attack are familiar. Once again, the Royal Family remains silent while their well-connected friends speak loudly. This gossip, it’s a pattern from the royal playbook.
The Royals Use Friends To Speak Their Minds
Whenever someone needs to say something controversial about Meghan Sussex, it’s rarely a direct royal quote. Instead, it’s always “a friend” or “a source close to the family.” Lady Bamford fits that mold perfectly. She and King Charles move in the same elite circles. Her words mirror palace whispers. It allows the Royal Family to stay publicly silent while private allies take the heat—and do the dirty work.

Lady Bamford calling Meghan Inauthentic Is Rich
Bamford owns Daylesford Organic, a luxury farm shop and café in the Cotswolds. This isn’t your average country store. It charges £950 for a basket made of twigs, £3,500 for a table, and once sold six chips for £4. She and her billionaire husband have made headlines for these absurd prices and for allegedly dodging up to £500 million in taxes. Her pub even lost its Michelin star. Yet this is the woman who feels bold enough to question Meghan’s authenticity?
The Media Plays Along With The Royal Games
Richard Eden, the journalist behind the latest attack, has a long history of siding with the palace. He was once mocked for accepting dog biscuits from Princess Catherine’s brother. His articles often read more like PR memos than journalism. When Eden quotes royal friends, it’s usually to bash Meghan. Meanwhile, real scandals like unpaid Earthshot Prize winners or Andrew’s lawsuits get far less attention from him.
Even experts say King Charles is the hypocrite
Royal historian Clive Irving has called out King Charles directly. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Irving said Charles was the first royal to turn his title into a brand. His Duchy grocery line made millions. And yet, he reportedly disapproved of Harry and Meghan using Sussex Royal—not to sell groceries, but to support charity work. Irving called it “an atrocious act of hypocrisy.” And he’s right.
If you take the case of Meghan and Harry, it’s been an atrocious act of hypocrisy on Charles’s part to [take the view] that it wasn’t right for them to use a brand, Sussex Royal, to monetise the royal name, because Charles was the first person ever to do that in a serious way, with the Duchy brand of grocery items. – Clive Irving
The truth is, King Charles and his friends have made big money from lifestyle ventures. They sell jam, cheese, books, and overpriced furniture. That’s somehow fine. But when Meghan Sussex launches a woman-led brand aimed at community, self-care, and wellness, it’s painted as fake or greedy. Why? Because Meghan isn’t part of the inner club. And because she refuses to stay silent.

The Company You Keep Says It All
If King Charles stays silent while his friends insult Meghan, that silence says everything. These attacks aren’t random—they’re strategic, media-backed, and protected by royal proximity. Meanwhile, Meghan Sussex continues to work, create, and inspire without hiding behind titles or PR spin.
Critics call her brand inauthentic, yet praise Charles’s Apple playlist—despite no public metrics proving its success. Once again, Meghan is judged by noise, while the King is celebrated without evidence. That double standard reveals more about them than it ever could about her.

I see they keep bashing Meghan about the stupidest things when she doesn’t even live in the Country. How crazy it is to be going on about not being authentic about food !!!!! So Charles saying he listen to reggae,African music and that he dance to Beyoncé is authentic??? No mention of all the cuts the government has done to vulnerable people while the monarchy is getting £45million increase this year,it has NEVER been reported at ALL by the media. Instead of reporting on what Meghan is doing thousands of miles away, what about them caring about the people living in this Country that is being crippled with the cost of living crisis. Real journalist would have been going out amongst the poorest to try and find some solutions, not sitting somewhere trolling a woman constantly. Where has all the gentlemen of England, gone!!!!
