Prince William reacts to Meghan launching wine on Diana's birthday

Prince William “does not think much of” Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle, who chose his late mum Princess Diana’s birthday to launch her new wine Rosé.

The Duchess of Sussex dropped the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé on July 1, which would have been the former Princess of Wales’ 64th birthday.

A source close to the royal family said the timing of the wine launch wasn’t lost on William, the Prince of Wales, given that his mother died in a car crash involving alcohol. 

Speaking on The Sun, royal expert Kinsey Schofield claimed, "As Ever appears to be the latest attempt to stake a claim in the oversaturated lifestyle market.

"Still, this launch has struck a very specific nerve, not just because of what the product is, but because when it was released, July 1, Princess Diana's birthday,” she added.

She went on to discuss if William was angry about Meghan using the day to promote a product, to which she cited a source saying, “It’s what he’s come to expect from her.”

"A source close to the royal household told me, it's not lost on Prince William that Meghan has launched an alcohol brand on his mother's birthday, the very mum he lost in a drink driving tragedy,” Schofield said.

"When I asked if there was anger at Meghan for using Diana's birthday to promote her commercial products, my source replied: 'It's what he's come to expect from her.'

"He doesn't think much of her," she said of William's reaction on Meghan's latest antics.
