Meghan Markle’s ‘in your face’ money-making ploy rubs critics the wrong way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMeghan Markle recently became an investor in a fashion and clothing company called OneOff, which describes itself as a “style-driven fashion discovery platform,” but critics have some choice words about the clothes she chose to turn into affiliate commissions because of how bad it was. <\/p>\n
The incident in question is the Bondi Beach Hanukkah incident shooting, where approximately 15 people lost their lives last December and during a trip to Australia. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a public appearance of it, however shortly afterwards the clothes they wore appeared on the app with an affiliate link providing a kickback from any sales made to them. <\/p>\n
Former BBC royal commentator Jenny Bond is one of the critics who came forward with her views on the move and put her views forward. mirror. <\/i><\/p>\n
“I have to admit that it is ‘in your face’ to use every public appearance to make a profit,” she began by telling the outlet. “I think it would be wise for her to choose the occasions when she puts links to her clothes on the new app,” because things like charity events or meeting victims of the terrorist attack on Bondi Beach “are not the right places for that,” as she put it in her own words. <\/p>\n
In particular, the mock royal tour, as it was called, included a number of charity-focused versus personal events that could have been performed. Even Ms. Bond says, “There are so many events she participates in as a celebrity that I see no harm in encouraging people to buy the clothes if they like them and allowing her to collect a commission.”<\/p>\n
After all, “she is a working woman now, and not a working royal. Obviously, she couldn’t connect to such an app when she was on official duty for the royal family. And I think she found it very difficult to deal with such restrictions.”<\/p>\n
Before concluding, he also said, “[Meghan]was and is an independent career woman who had a hard time clipping her wings. And I understand that. But things are different now, and she’s free to do whatever she wants. However, it might be better if she stopped exploiting the title and just used her name. That would make her new status and the freedom that comes with it crystal clear.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
