Prince Harry reportedly had a “tough day” as his wife Meghan Markle celebrated the launch of her wine Rosé under the label of her lifestyle brand As Ever.
According to reports, the Duchess of Sussex’s new wine brand was sold out within an hour of its launch at 4 p.m. UK time.
However, the timing of the launch has sparked backlash, with royal commentator Kinsey Schofield calling the decision to release it on Princess Diana’s birthday "borderline cruel."
Schofield questioned how Prince Harry might have felt on such a personal day, while his wife celebrated a major business moment.
Speaking on The Sun, the expert claimed that "timing an alcohol launch to Diana's birthday wasn't just a misstep, it was borderline cruel.”
The royal podcaster said: "You have to sit at home, you have to sit and think, what is Prince Harry thinking at home today?
"As Meghan is doing victory laps around the kitchen, excited for this launch, Harry is still thinking about the mother he lost, the mother that he loved, the mother that he talks to us about constantly.
"This is still a tough day for Prince Harry too. Let's be honest, Meghan has spent years framing herself as the spiritual successor to Diana."
