Meghan Markle could have made a decisive move to “save the day” in 2024 instead of “selling jam”, a royal expert has said.
The Duchess of Sussex is on a mission to carve out an empire as an influencer, launching her own line of jams and stepping into the spotlight. But Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield believes Meghan will be “disappointed” in how the past few years have gone, and the former Suits star’s latest venture marks a shift from her initial post-royal plans with Prince Harry since their 2020 departure.
Highlighting a sense of letdown with Meghan’s path, Schofield implied to GB News that the Duchess might feel disenchanted with how things have unfolded over recent years. She mused on the lost chance for Meghan and Prince Harry to assume a more significant role within the Royal Family, especially considering the health challenges faced by Princess Kate and King Charles.

Schofield said: “She’s probably really disappointed in what’s happened over the last few years. That’s a reality for her, and what’s so sad about looking at everything that’s happened within the British Royal Family since the beginning of 2024, is that – have Harry and Meghan truly been compassionate? Had they been patient?
“They could have saved the day in 2024…because they would have been able to step up to the plate and take on work for the Princess of Wales and King Charles. But unfortunately, instead of doing that, Meghan is selling jam.”
Schofield also highlighted the mixed feelings towards the Sussexes in America, pointing out that many have taken issue with the couple’s actions. She raised questions about the need for Meghan and Harry to partner with Netflix, producing content that spans gardening, cooking, and even elements of reality TV.
Schofield said: “I believe she’s trying to build an empire. I don’t know if that’s what she was going to do originally when she left the British Royal Family.”
She added: “Remember, they told us that she was going to be living a life of service. Polling-wise, this has been very difficult for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. People in the States have an issue with them. Did they have to go down this path, basically using Netflix to create content to kind of try to build this empire of gardening and what’s going on in the kitchen, but also giving Netflix ultimately what they want, which is that reality show element?”
The Royal pundit has labelled the Harry and Meghan docuseries as the duo’s “only commercial success” in the media sphere. She characterised Meghan’s foray into reality TV while also plugging her own merchandise as a mix of self-promotion and business savvy, according to the Express.
She remarked: “This is her dipping her toe still in reality TV but also having cameras in her face and being able to push her own products.”
