Harry and Meghan 'commercialising' royal name says Roberts
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again come under fire as the launch of Meghan's new business venture coincided with a speech made by Prince William in London.
The Duchess of Sussex announced her new brand American Riviera Orchard on Thursday, hours before both William and Harry appeared at the Diana Legacy Awards to give speeches.
Despite it being the 25th anniversary of the awards, the warring brothers still did not appear in the same room together as Harry delivered his address via video link.
The Sussexes did not travel over from California for the award presentation, with Meghan also rumoured to be launching a new Netflix cooking show in conjunction with her new brand.
Speaking to the assembled crowd as he walked on stage to the AC/DC song Thunderstruck, William said: "This evening’s Legacy Award is particularly special as it marks the 25th anniversary year of The Diana Award, a charity set up to reflect my mother’s belief that young people can change the world.
"I know that she would have been honoured to see a charity in her name doing such inspirational work to uplift young people from all corners of the globe."
