While the ceremony was unfolding under media attention on June 15, Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, posted photos of products from the American Riviera Orchard brand, gifted by Meghan. This action sparked comments from royal experts.

On June 18, a royal expert stated that Meghan Markle “doesn’t care about royal protocol,” following the release of these photos. One of his colleagues told the Sun that “Meghan and Harry are fully aware that everything they do is monitored by the press.” He also emphasized that there is “no scheduling conflict” regarding the official statements of the Sussexes.

A public relations expert defended Meghan Markle, explaining in the press that Meghan “had no control over when Nacho posted them.” A source revealed that the actress wishes to reconcile with Kate Middleton for the good of all. “Making peace with William and Kate would be a huge relief for Meghan on many levels, especially to improve her reputation.”
